As discussed a couple of days ago, most of what Doug Jr refers to as "his own money" is a bank loan - $500,000. Doug (certainly) and perhaps also Karla (permissible for a spouse to do this and can turn out to be helpful to the bank to be able to chase both spouses) will have guaranteed the loan. Rob's meryl run has a $100,00 bank loan.

Ignoring the interest charges that will continue to be added to the debts until the loans are paid off, at $300 a ticket you would have to get 2,000 people into mom's backyard to raise $600,000, plus the number of people more at $300 a ticket to cover the cost of the Cheezies and Kool-Aid and paper plates & cups.*

*ETA: Mom can't pick up the cost, b/c she has already contributed the max. $2,500 to each of 'the boys'.

Has Kathy been seen at all recently? Do they have her confined to the basement?
 
If it is indeed inoperable, he should resign and spend time with his family. I doubt he will be going on another bender, but I could be wrong.

In fairness, he's having the MRI this afternoon that will tell him if his tumor is operable. I like to kick the guy as much as the next person but we can maintain a basic level of humanity, methinks.

I both agree with you and disagree with you. But I'll stop that kind of rhetoric.

He's still an a hole
 
So Doug Ford thinks there's something suspect about Tory having spent so close to the limit, but we're supposed to trust the efficiency-finding, cost-cutting skills displayed by him and his brother ... who both overspent?
