Rob Ford's Toronto

[fishie]

Oh, he knows it very well...

Doug Ford will be at Maple Leaf Square tonight outside the @MapleLeafs game rather than at the Regent Park debate #TOpoli

Selfies!

In the new "Ford Fan Zone"? Oh Lord...

 

[fishie]

So he refuses to debate a Jewish candidate who called out his brother's anti-Semitism and made him look foolish in a debate?

The Ford Nation idiots online are attacking Goldkind as a "hypocrite" because he said he was not religious.

I saw someone on IHTWOMRF a few days ago calling him "Goldmean".

Purple is generally associated with Royalty. The Fords consider themselves to be Toronto's reigning family, complete with the requisite male heir, Silent Mike.

Respect for bloodlines.

What's with the goddamn wind today? If I believed in a higher power, I would say that Doug polling well is the cause of the wrath.

Conservative Scarborough councillor Gary Crawford, a Rob Ford ally for much of the term, has endorsed John Tory.

Quite the endorsement given that he didn't endorse Doug.

To be fair, I think a lot of people will be ignoring this debate to watch the Leafs game.

Most important Toronto FC league game ever in Toronto tonight! Hopefully it will be Ford-free.

Krista, Kayla, Kara, Kyla. Four's numerous numerous, right?

I think, among other things, they might each have their own Mustang!

Oh right. I forgot. Those Jewish kids.

Tough decision, watching the Leafs v Habs opener or hearing the candidates say the exact same thing they've been saying every day for the last few weeks again...

"How many km of tunnelling and how many houses will you destroy Tory?!"

They do. Each got one when they got their licence.

This is when I point out how many pointless debates there are. Doing one during a Leafs home opener is very poor timing!

Don't forget Mikey. Didn't he get one too?

Mikey's ride is a Camero.

Market rent apartments at a discount?

Doug Ford just told audience that Ford administration has helped reduce rents for thousands of units. Not sure where this is from.

I saw someone on IHTWOMRF a few days ago calling him "Goldmean".

Which is, incidentally, run by a Jewish person, Neil Flagg. But people like Neil Flagg, Jeff Silverstein and Sue Ann Levy are about as representative of Toronto Jews as Clarence Thomas is of African Americans.

In a recent interview or radio program, wish I could remember which, Doug offered the surprising new information that in fact, the teens staying at the Griffin Centre's Jeffcoat Road residential home weren't autistic and that people had been misled about that.

I think it was Metro Morning on CBC. I remember hearing Doug saying they weren't autistic and I think maybe that they weren't 'kids' either, but I'm not sure if he said what they were if they weren't autistic (but still in need of being kept indoors?).
