Rob Ford:Time to Go rallies-next one Friday November 15 NPS noon.

I normally keep my dumb-assed, free-range opinions to myself, there being enough of those at play. But it turns out I’m going to have some time off work next week, and I feel I should contribute my warm body and shrill voice to the cause.

However, I have to say that the “Hey Hey, Ho Ho†chant has got to go. Talk about threadbare! But what to take its place?

This is something I cobbled together last night. Just a random musing. Sung to the tune of Neil Young’s “Ohio.â€


Crack, lying, and drunken driving
We’re finally on our own
This autumn we’ve heard the people
Rob Ford has got to go

Time to get down to it
Allies are cutting him loose
Shoulda been done long ago
What if you knew Rob, and
Found him dead on the floor
Go home and get well Mayor Ford


There are probably a number of other songs that could be easily adapted to the cause at hand.

"Go home and get well Mayor Ford" best describes what he should do...

Next? Class-action lawsuit?

See link.

A new website has been launched to recruit claimants for a class-action lawsuit against Mayor Rob Ford, claiming that he was negligent and acted in bad faith in his role as mayor.

“I’m sick and tired of it. Enough is enough. I can’t handle it any more. I can’t sit on the couch and do nothing,” said Toronto lawyer Jose Rodrigues, who launched stoprob.org at 9 p.m. Tuesday. “I’m trying to gather forces and move it ahead.”

To proceed to court, the claim would need to have a lead plaintiff and then be approved by a judge.

In a draft statement of claim posted on the website, Rodrigues, a fresh graduate from the University of Ottawa law school, is seeking $5.2 million in total damages — approximately a dollar for each Toronto resident in general plus a dollar each in punitive damages.

The plaintiffs will include residents of Toronto “whose reputation has been negatively impacted by the defendant’s admission to smoking crack cocaine coupled with his refusal to resign.”

It will also represent the businesses affected by the subsequent devaluation of the “Toronto Brand, causing the plaintiffs future loss of business opportunities.”

Within 30 minutes of the launch of the website, Rodrigues said “dozens” of people signed up as potential plaintiffs to represent other Torontonians in the planned action, which he hopes to file next week.

"In admitting to using crack cocaine and remaining in office, the Defendant blatantly breached his duty to consider the well-being and interests of the City,” says the seven-page proposed statement of claim.

“Secondly, the Defendant’s numerous displays of intoxication while in public and his admission to smoking crack cocaine coupled with his persistence to remain in office breached his duty to maintain the fiscal integrity of the city.”

Rodrigues, 28, who articled at the federal justice department and specializes in civil litigation, says the Toronto “brand” is an essential asset of the city, worth millions of dollars.

He cited media reports and opinions of marketing experts and businessmen to support his claims.

“The defendant’s ‘drunken stupors’ tarnish the value of the Toronto brand and jeopardized the value of one of the city’s most significant assets — its brand,” he said. “We have worked so hard to make Toronto a top-notch city.”

Anyone can say anything on Twitter, including repeating blatant lies over and over again. Oh, and there are no word filters there, which means that anyone can be called reproductive organs and/or reproductive acts and/or bodily waste and/or female dogs and/or illegitimate.
