So far, only two of Ford's motions have carried.
Only Ford and Mammo voted against Tory's budget.

Yes, however Stephen Holyday did get elected, and he supported almost all of Ford's budget motions today. As usual, Etobicoke elects and re-elects terrible councillors across the board.

So does Scarborough! I live there, so I know it well.

Either that, or he only did so either as a kid, or as the parent of kids. He does not relate at all to its serving anyone over the age of 10 or so.
BTW did he use the "liberry" pronunciation again?

"Ford: So during the campaign, isn't it fair to say, during the campaign you said there was not going to be an increase in your own budget and you would not take a pay increase - and you said that during the campaign. Now we have something completely different . . .
Tory: I think you're mistaking me for your brother."

TORONTO - The main budget battle came down to Mayor John Tory and Councillor Rob Ford.
Ford and Tory faced off during Wednesday’s final 2015 budget debate just before council rejected all but two of Ford’s roughly 30 budget motions.
And the ongoing war between Ford and Tory has now led to an integrity commissioner complaint.
The Toronto Sun has learned that the exchange on the council floor prompted a member of Ford’s staff to file a complaint against Tory.
At council on Wednesday, Ford questioned why the budget included an approximately $300,000 increase to the mayor’s office budget. That prompted Tory to quickly swing back at Ford.
“I am operating an office under direction of the staff who are doing so in a professional manner,” Tory told Ford. “They are responsible for the oversight of a close to $12-billion government with tens of thousands of employees.”
Tory lamented a lack of coordination on road closures, cost overruns in major capital projects and a lack of a “professional relationship” with the public service over the last four years when Ford was in the mayor’s chair.
He pointed out his office budget at $2.2 million was “necessary to run a professional administration around here and do the kind of job in the manner that the people of Toronto would expect us to do.”
In response to Tory’s talk of “professionalism,” Ford questioned the level of customer service provided by Tory’s office.
“That’s the answer you get when you call the mayor’s office, you don’t get an answer,” Ford grumbled to council.
Ford’s request to limit Tory’s office budget to $2 million was rejected by council in a 43-1 vote (Ford was the lone vote in favour of the reduction).
Dan Jacobs, Ford’s executive assistant and former mayor’s office chief of staff, e-mailed the city’s integrity commissioner to lodge a complaint about Tory’s comments and demand an apology.
“This calls into question the manner in which I conducted myself while employed in the office of the mayor, as it does for any past employees of that office,” Jacobs wrote in a copy of the complaint obtained by the Sun.
“Not only is this incredibly disrespectful, but I believe it could open both the mayor and the city to potential liability, as it puts a negative slant on my work as an employee of the city, which he has no right to say.”
Councillors also voted “no” to dozens of other motions from Ford including a bid to eliminate library security guards, freeze councillors office budgets and ask councillors to donate their 2015 cost-of-living salary increases to Toronto Community Housing repairs.

Was there security at that one library in the east end where a guy killed his dad?

Oh, so now Rob sees the value of having an integrity commissioner in the first place.

Seems like everyday some article comes out about "Tory vs Ford" bla bla bla. The media needs to stop giving undue attention to this disgraced former mayor and his stupid nation. Enough already.

+100 The media creates this"conflict" because Right Wing. It's safe to describe class warfare in this context because either outcome serves the corporate agenda. If either Tory or Ford were "left", (Olivia, Justin T) the "story" would not be safe.

Danny-Boy is sure self conscious... but then again working in Robbie's office is enough to give you a complex, not dissimilar to TCHC.
The rub is two-fold, one, Robbie gets Danny-Boy to complain, and two, the complaint is over the same bullshit Robbie spewed about anyone that disagreed with him and/or Dougie, if ya can't take it then don't dish it out.
They have to put something in those holes around the ads.

The Sun continues to be terrible.
That isn't even true. There was no "battle" from Ford, all his motions were shot down overwhelmingly.

So, what's the betting Ford is going to go running to the Integrity Commissioner all the time now to swamp them with complaints?
