Rob Ford's Toronto

[salsa]

I spotted the Ford camping RV at Bathurst & Sheppard. What the heck is he doing there?

I guess Graeme is unaware that a councillor can live anywhere in the city. In fact, I am pretty sure Doug doesn't live in Ward 2.

There are 12 councillors running for re-election that don't live in the ward they represent.

Visiting the Bnai Brith building?

Barely able to walk Rob Ford crosses Pape, heading for campaign office of John Papadakis. Woman yells "go home!"

Must be another one of those "ignorant people". To quote Doug Ford, "they’re pretty ignorant, some of them."

Doug Ford said there is nothing wrong with his brother, Rob, going to advance polls. "That's my answer, what's wrong with it?"

Neither Doug nor Rob live in Ward 2. I think they are in Ward 3.

Ward 4! I don't want those turds in my ward!

A ward sounds sort of like a fiefdom: "An area over which a person or organization exerts authority or influence."

It’s sad, really. Immunocompromised because of chemotherapy, Rob Ford is out and about, hanging out on the street and in polling stations, shaking hands with strangers and posing for selfies. Does he not care about his health? Does his own family not care about his well-being?

He can coast again when he's Deputy Mayor. LOL

Ford fan in Bloor West Village < shudder >

Maybe Doug doesn't care as he knows Rob won't live to see the end of his term in office - it no longer matters.

Frankly, my dear, I don't think he gives two craps. "Badges? We don't need no steenking badges!"

And yeah Rob is going to skate away here too. The same problem remains.

The Fords would just love Ward Bosses.

I think the point Graeme was trying to make is that Rob is a candidate in Ward 2, so as long as he isn't physically in Ward 2 he's free to interfere with the election.

That just gave me a shiver, let's hope that Robbie doesn't get elected or appointed to any title associated with City Hall. On the gruesome side Robbie can be part of Doug's Hallowe'en display next year if he gets elected.
