Rob Ford's Toronto

[AlbertHWagstaff]

Yes, he is the paragon of moderation and r
estraint. He can use some physical ones.

Scaberian:

Classical FM? 96.3? That's Zoomers for their old folks demographic. You'd hear ads for funeral insurance, adult diapers, etc. It's real lovely.

AoD

You're thinking of the sister station AM 740. 96.3 has mostly ads for expensive furniture and cars. Just heard the 3pm news. Still only the poll story and audio from CP2Ford of Bozonoff. They are deliberately keeping it out of the news as other current stories were on. Their news coverage always seems to have a Ford-friendly tint. I guess Moses is partial to Ford Nation

If anything does happen in relation to Brazen 2, it will probably be after the election.

Quite agree. We'll see how it plays out then, if anything.

Not to dwell too much on the patently obvious, but Blair rubber stamping Fatass' criminal backkground check is all the more remarkable when you consider how much milage the Fords have gotten out of their sob story about Blair being out to get them. By now, it's really quite demonstrable that was not the case, but no doubt Slob & Thug will continue to milk that little claim for all it's worth whenever it suits them.

Just a reminder : Rob Ford recruited man with history of violent crime to coach high school football

One of the men enlisted by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford to coach his former high school football team has a history of committing violent crimes that was concealed from school administrators through the use of false identities.

Hm..am I wrong in thinking that his DUI should have been reported or is the letter more of a "yeah he's not a big mean deal" kind of thing?

I'm more interested to see the fallout the school suffers right now. They had this record of unprofessional behaviour, yet they continued to keep him employed. I wonder if the principal will be forced to resign, and if the school itself gets sued by the parents of the players.

Mostly 96.3 listeners would be shut up and get back to the music... they are not on that channel for news.

I think that these are the same Ryerson students to whom Ford thought he should offer "life advice".

I suspect that Don Bosco and tcdsb had a lot more damaging material on Ford than the list released in the dismissal docs. (drugs with players/students, partying with escorts etc) They are protecting themselves from the possibility of serious lawsuits. You are right, even the known facts suggest negligence.

 

[Soop]

Most of these items he is holding are about OMB hearings. I have listened to a lot of council meeting in the last two years and he always holds these. Asks the same few questions. And then votes against it (and loses). What a waste of time.

12 of the 31 items left on the council agenda are being held by Mayor Rob Ford

 

[tiffer24]

Ford: Smell that? You smell that?
Towhey: What?
Ford: Goose shit, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. [kneels]
Ford: I love the smell of goose shit in the morning. You know, one time we had the Bosco team bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' empty bottle. The smell, you know that goose shit smell, the whole team. Smelled like
[sniffing, pondering]
Ford: victory. Someday this war on Rob Ford's gonna end...
[suddenly walks off]

1. Unlikely that they buried any written evidence (TCDSB admins don't want to go to jail)
2. This release is only the written paper trail
3. This release is only first-hand accounts and evidence from TCDSB staff
4. If TCDSB discussed these items with students, nothing ended up on paper

Therefore unlikely that drinking/drugs/partying/escorts would be in a FOI release. What we really need is for former students to come out of the woodwork.

It is one of the great mysteries of this whole sad story that no students, no business colleagues, no other politicians, no old/ex friends ever seem to come forward with first hand accounts of Ford's behavior. I can understand that people do not want to incriminate themselves but I also suspect that the Ford have made everyone fearful of retribution.

Other than the ex-Deco sales exec.
