Rob Ford's Toronto

[Videodrome]

One of my friends went between 400 and 500 pounds his entire adult life. He died last year at 47 years old, of a heart attack.

Now, I am nowhere near that, but enough that I could stand to lose some.

I remember the kids in high school who listened to Gino beats. They wore Adidas track suits and always walked fast like they had somewhere important to go.



I am a fat person too and watching Rob Ford's health scare has made me rethink my lifestyle choices.

The courage takes to reach out is never misspent. There are online communities for the shy. But the human component at a meeting is irreplaceable. Good luck to you both.

Casita im lost... no strike info at all except the big right to strike ,strike at OPSEU in 96. Could my strike have been a work to rule in solidarity? Also in 95 etobicoke privatized collection Turtle island took over from cupe. Maybe connected?

Depends how far your willing to go ...

Each cycle is 3 days of treatment and then 18 days off. They want at least 2 full cycles before they scan again, around 6 weeks is my guess.

Puts us right around October 27.

Sorry to get off topic, but I was actually skinny until I was 17 and gained a lot of weight. I lost 100 pounds, but gained it back.

Working for someone who would rather be in Chicago.

I dont know what a Theodoric is (game of thrones?) But I am very glad you shared this piece.

Took a Google moment. Game of thrones indeed.

Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber was a great skit.

There is info on the three strikes. There were only three. There were no other strikes in the last 42 years.

Whatever you are referring to was not a strike. If you can find some info, we can discuss it.

2002 ( "Jobs for life" strike ) Mayor Lastman

2009 ( Sick Bank strike ) Mayor Miller

Mayor Ford never had to fight the battles with Local 416 that Lastman and Miller did.

Anyone hear about this over the weekend? This is the first I've seen of it.

"But not everyone thinks Chow should be focusing on Tory. Scott Reid, who spent years working for former prime minister Paul Martin, counsels a more aggressive strategy so that Chow can spoil Ford’s coming-out party: “I would take a chainsaw to him.”

I was wondering if anyone heard Towhey's show. He had asked if someone from the sit-in would go on the show but I doubt anyone obliged.

I'd heard of it here, I think, it wasn't just a Ford thing.
