Doesn't that depend on the severity of the charges? Would he get out on bail if charged in connection to the murder of Anthony Smith?

Well I just saw this unrelated tweet on twitter. That arrest was made last week. So I think the answer to your question is yes.

Fuck you, Doug Holyday.

Edited to add: Christ, that GIF of Ford. What a child.

And not in any way that's even remotely charming.
 
Well, in Ford's defense, if anyone knows what drunk driving might look like, it would be him.
 
So I guess we have the thing robbie will have to apologize for already. He's prolific, I'll give the oaf that much.
 
I get both kinds of false urban legend emails (political and apolitical). I do send debunking emails, but I don't think it helps. There's a study which suggests that strongly-held political beliefs only become more entrenched when confronted with opposing evidence.

In my experience this is correct. I guess by expecting a good debunking to actually change people's minds, I'm practising my own cognitive dissonance.

With respect to Ford Nation this gets even more depressing. Ford Nationals identify as being against "tax and spend socialism", yet they support a plan to have three levels of government pay for an unnecessary publicly owned subway. Worse yet, the value decision was made by a mayor who hadn't bothered to read the existing plan!

How do we teach people to think critically? How do we avoid ideology trumping fact?

Looking at that gif... Jesus. He would go out of his way to be a boorish asshole on the way to the electric chair, wouldn't he? How could anyone think it was reasonable for Council to work with that level of insane pigheadedness?
 
I know you guys frown upon profanity around here, but I do believe, in this moment, an exception needs to be made re: this (http://gamereax.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fordcouncilmeeting.gif)

What a despicable, lying, dishonourable, piece of SHIT. A total fucking abomination. Un-fucking-worthy of being any type of leader or role model. A rich, spoiled fucking brat who deserves to brunt the full force of the very public humilation he is recieving today.

As a sidenote: It's already past noon, too late for Ford to call another "apology" presser?

Why is Ford in the speaker's chair? I assume it's because Nunziata was asking a question, but why Ford? It just seems ridiculous that he is moderating discussion related to a motion regarding his position.
 
Mouthwash might be the operative word. He may be swishing coffee around to hide the smell of something else.

I don't believe for a second that he's stopped drinking.

A real alcoholic who stops drinking cold turkey would be a mess. Ford is a mess, but he doesn't look like a cold turkey mess, so make of that what you will.
