I just wanted to point out how genius this series has been. Keep them coming. I think in the end there should be a Stations of the Cross setup in a gallery somewhere.

Take a deep breath. I agree Doug is a thug and the organizers should have said okay see ya later. Even Kelly has gone quiet, it's very strange.
John Tory does not do anything without it being beneficial to him IMO. Remember when he ducked out this transit debate and decided to 'select' the debates he would attend in the future and only go if Chow and Ford were there.

ETA: Remember the Ford tactics... this lady is right

Doug Ford has perfected these tactics, over a long period of time, in many sectors. Do we all now *get* this?

Slow down #topoli , Doug Ford's tactics have now caused chaos, making other candidates' re-actions the focus. Another tactic. Wait it out.

She was on life-support before, but now I think we can officially stick a fork in her. What a stupid waste, and what an incredibly stupidly run campaign.

Sorry, so someone told Goldkind that Chow "backed" Ford, and now we're excoriating her because she didn't make Tory's grand gesture?
Any actual evidence of this?

"I will be available every day to debate against my 2 main competitors from now until election night" Doug Ford statement #TOpoli
One competitor, and one enabler.
With the FN howlers in the cheering section, and no Ari.

Maybe a Last Supper re-enactment, with Lisi, Mutey, Chatty Kathy, Crazy Homophobe Lady and assorted others from the Ford Rogues Gallery as the Twelve Disciples? And Slob as Jesus, of course...
But it's A-OK for Thug to bail or threaten to do so if he doesn't get his way? One can almost admire the sheer hypocritical gall of the man, I'll give him that.

Yes. In the Star article.
Chow spokesperson Jamey Heath did not comment on Ford’s demands, saying only: “The organizers decide who debates.â€

My debate format would be simple: Chow, Tory, Ari, and an empty chair on which we would place a steaming bucket of pig manure. Although that's not entirely fair to pigs.

Funny, I always figured that Doug would end up being Judas.

But Doug is only out if Tory is. Tory comes back, so does Doug. Doug comes back, Ari goes. Ari goes, so does Tory. Repeat.

How is this "backing" Ford? It seems to be deferring to the organizer to work it out. This is being spun as if Chow agrees with this because she didn't make Tory's "principled" move.
And forgive me for saying so, but Goldkind has little no public profile beyond #TOpoli and the hyper-aware types here. Calling him a "fringe" candidate may be unfair, but he is most certainly a minor candidate with no political experience. Sure, he's a good speaker and has absolutely nothing to lose in debates, but there's intrinsic reason why he should be in debates. His platform is pretty decent. But being mayor is about more than being good in debates and preparing a wish list of progressive policy.
