Rob Ford's Toronto

[themarc]

It makes sense that the arrest could come Thursday. If there is more damning information coming out in ITO, and it further implicated Ford, with no arrest, there will be so much more pressure on TPS. With the hearing on Wednesday, a Friday ITO release is in the cards.


That's just speculation though.

In my best Monster Truck voice:

THURSDAY! THURSDAY! THURSDAY!

Oscar quiz with Ford:

meryl cannidate!!

the guy is unintentionally hilarious

My prediction for this evening? Kimmel Windy City Heats robbie. This is the kind of thing Kimmel likes. Look at his involvement in this project.

Don't be surprised if Gonzo runs long and Robbie gets bumped. Tomorrow we see a clip package of Robbie wandering around L.A thinking he's a big shot but only looking a fool...being denied entrance to parties, posing with gawkers laughing at him, etc....

CTV is having a lot of fun this week.

She could have also asked "You've said that you're in LA to promote Toronto as Hollywood North. Name one producer, production company or location scout that you're planning to meet while you're here."

Or "Name one incentive offered by government to productions in Hollywood North."

^^ That girl has chutzpah! (that last question lol)

Did you see the anger on his face when someone laughed?

Good to hear our mayor really made an impression to the councillors at L.A. City Hall:

Daniel Dale ‏@ddale8 9m
Second LA council member who met Rob Ford says: 1) "...and then I met his brother Bob, who's much better looking."

That seems like a joke you'd see in a chain email from the mid-2000s about George W Bush. But it's real. It's real and it's on video.

I think some folks are underestimating US observers of the Ford fiasco. Most of us are not laughing, and we know who the players are from the sane side (Kelley, Wynne, Blair, etc.) to the crazy side (including names ending in o’s and i’s). We know more about CAN politics now that ever before, from ridings to by elections. And we’ve certainly elected our share of idiots and cringed while traveling overseas. BTW, I sure like Johnny Au’s choice of a birthday arrest for Ford.

W: Good thoughts here - I am one that has educated myself about the Rob Ford fiasco through my membership here at UT and
realize how much Toronto needs a Mayor that is respected by the City that he represents...

The Jimmy Kimmel Show tonight 3/3 may be very interesting...LI MIKE

Well, I'm at Jimmy Kimmel for the circus. I'll let you know how it goes.

He's from Toronto Life.

Rob Ford in a tuxedo?

Thought Syd Silver Tuxedos was in trouble back in 2009? Maybe Rob bought a liquidation or clearance special somewhere back then and kept it.

I am not into fat shaming - god knows I weigh more than Rob - but FFS man, buy yourself a decent tuxedo! You can get an off-the-rack for $300 and have it recut to fit perfectly for another $250 - 300. Even a "man of the people" can wear black tie without looking like a zeppelin in a condom!

Daniel Dale is in too:

I can't tweet or say anything until 11:35. Rob Ford segment tapes from about 9:15 to about 9:45, which is long.

Daniel Dale ‏@ddale8 10 mins
I am here "at" the taping - aka I'll watch it on TV before you do. Full story on http://thestar.com at 1135. pic.twitter.com/cFRSTmUu1j

 

[The Golem]

So glad he's in tune with the entertainment industry ...

He voted against funding TIFF. Again. The more they make fun of him, the better.

 

[themarc]

I say Thursday or whenever these itos come out because I believe that one time was staged by cops so that the ito, arrest and video announcement happened on the same day. I\m told cops actually retrieved the video weeks earlier than they claimed

Damn Jimmi - love your work. Smokes MetroMan.

My guess is that DD is the mystery guest. And/or Robyn Doolittle.
