What kills me about people like the Fords and those that vote for them is that they disparage "lifelong bureaucrats" while being or voting for "lifelong bureaucrats". It's more of that what's good for the goose is too good for the gander, bs, talking points. So yeah, Mikey grew up in politics, is being positioned for a job as a councillor immediately after finishing (or not finishing) college, but then the Fords will espouse the benefit of "private" business and put down politicians who have served a long time while ignoring that their own kin (and king, ahem rob) has no history in the private sector. grr, argh.

Oh ParkdalePetunia you are so jaded.

I imagine Mikey has lots of private sector experience, probably on bottle detail at Deco and Edenbridge.

EDIT: Just found a HILARIOUS article from 2010 on Ford.

So what’s his escape back home, after the kids have gone to bed? Would you believe, laundry? “When I come home, I pick up all the clothes, go downstairs, divide the whites and the darks, hop on the phone, return my calls — I get tons of calls — and I’ll be folding clothes and doing laundry. I love it.”

I guess he realized saying "Getting totally fucked up with the boys after work" didn't sound too good.

CP24 showed RoFo working an enthusiastic crowd at Yorkgate Mall.

Tory and Chow also there, but could not attract the crowds, according to the reporter.

It was a Caribana ( or whatever they call it now ) type carnival. The selfie crowd and music seemed local to the area ( Jane and Finch ).

CP24 is showing RoFo live now.

She IS trying to extend her 15 mins, she is a flake, she isn't too bright, she is attention seeking, she is really perpetuating the small town flooze, "toots" or "tits mcgee" image, she clearly does stupid things - really the interview and phone call with the Sun, what the hell was she thinking but.... what's wrong with a little tolerance, kindness, or clicking the ignore button. (not necessarily here but other places in the media)

When I theories of a relationship, future Mrs F, etc etc etc.. people have gone way over the top. Enough with them all slut shaming , trashing the woman, dumping all the labels on her ..no one is that bad if she did willingly seek out and befriend Ford.

Nothing wrong with a little tolerance and kindness.
If anything I think it takes strength to practice that in real life.
That being said, there are people who views such things as a weakness.
And they have no problem trying to exploit you for being 'weak'.

The Fords IMO, have demonstrated that on multiple occasion.

Ms. Mcrobb might not be as bad as the haters say.
Everyone has their stories, circumstances and choices.
Unfortunately she seems to have a knack for digging a deeper
ditch for herself and others around her.

At this point she might become the Cleopatra to RoFo's Julius Caesar.
Or Nero. Whatever whatevs, same diff really. :p

What a load of crap, saying that he looks better and talking about menu (plus his talking points). I just fired off a complaint to their feedback line:

您昨天關於倫多市長福特的新聞報導 (http://www.fairchildtv.com/news.php?n=d3509679d8747ff9cf4257cddb67f72b) 申報不實 - 糖沙灘 (Sugar Beach) 的岩石和傘子在他離任兩個月前已經被多倫多湖濱發展局 (Waterfront Toronto)批准。 誰在乎他日常的菜單 - 您的新聞報導完全沒有提到他使用納稅人的時間辦私事，他濫用毒品, 酒精和他的謊言又怎麼樣? 這個報導為市長福特宣傳 - 新聞媒體不應該帶有偏见。

Listen to this one from earlier this year by Russian Express.

Not sure if I understood correctly, but it sounded like a lady off camera said, "You are an angel".
