I believe it's City Hall policy, not Rob Ford, that had Towhey escorted out by security. But I could be wrong about that.

Me thinks if your security pass has been revoked it would be a requirement for security, or at least someone with a pass to accompany you.

As far as I know, it's corporate policy for all Agencies, Boards, Commissions, Departments and Services. Not just CH.

If security is not available, a team of management will escort.

Yet he defends him on twitter.

Don't be fooled, his opinions are just as bad Robbie's on things. It's a control thing, and Towey lost the first round, and writing something in first person has more weight. Crazy Town was good, but it is still written in the third hand so to speak.
 
No sign of either Ford at city hall today. Don Peat tweeted that his staff won't say anything regarding his whereabouts. With Doug seemingly away, you have to wonder if a bender took place.

Does anyone have a "cut from the same cloth" comment? I think it would make an excellent remix with the Tyson clip.

"shit from the same shovel!"

"ripped from the same tabloid!"

"birdbrains of a feather are tethered together!"

"same flair for hair!"

"bros before hoes!"

"we both used tight ends!"

I wonder if CP2Ford will be fined for that?

Fined for what? We're not a police state. What law was broken? Best I can think of, is a one-time violation of a CRTC regulation for not providing a warning before the broadcast about language. But you don't get fined for that. You might get your licence revoked if you do it every day ...

Not sure who would think this is an issue big enough to file a CRTC complaint. If no complaints, no action.

It's so weird, and maybe an indication of why CP24 is the weakest of the weak in its presentation of the Ford sickness. First you give a convicted rapist airtime. Then, having decided that's okay, you decide to mention to his face that he's a convicted rapist. And then, having done that, you're shocked that a convicted rapist would use choice language on live TV.

There will be complaints. If they are on a delay they will get warned at least.

He was in "constituent meetings" or was visiting his TCHC friends.
 
Nobody's done more than Mikey, er, Rob Ford forda black cuhmyoondee. Look how he brought Mike Tyson to Trawno - great role model for youth, as you know folks.

Imma gonna hurl now. Epaulets.

Someone just has to complain to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council. If CP2Ford is a member of the council, they would get notice of the complaint. I'm not 100% sure of how it works, but those CBSC notices run every so often on various radio stations, promoting that members of the council strive for the highest standards in broadcasting.

FWIW, I don't think CP24 is "pro-Ford" so much as that:
a) they're the weakest journalists in town (save Warmington, obviously!)
b) they live and die by the constant live-eye coverage Ford gives them

Like, I don't know that the owners of CNN are "pro-war" but they sure do like a good war to juice the ratings. And people rightfully slam LeDrew for his softballs but LeDrew isn't even really a journalist. So, the end result might all be the same but it's worth remembering how good Katie Simpson was and just looking around at the world we live in.

I disagree. They misrepresent and sugar coat nearly every damn thing that comes out of the man's mouth.
