Rob Ford's Toronto

[Yaitsme]

This could be RoFo's last ever council meeting. Will he try to cause as much drama as possible as a last gasp?

Who's gonna go ?

Let's play who would you rather: Christine Elliot, who seems smart and is respected but who's backed by Robbie and Dougie, or Brown, a socon who's campaign is led by Towhey and who's backed by that buffoon McNaughton? Tough choice.

Dougie would probably get a prominent role were Elliot to win premier but Towhey was said to have basically been the mayor and brains behind some of Ford's most destructive decisions.

I find that a big glass of Red Tory goes well with Doug's brownies.

Brown is a knob à la Harper, and Towhey is just plain evil.

Strategic wishing for me -- whoever is the least electable!

Then would it not be better to root for the flat-earther? He seems to be less electable (less appeal to the mushy middle than Elliott + repellant to the left of middle) plus more likely to have nothing to do with Doug Jr.

What ever happened to….? (a/k/a Where are they now?)

The conjunction of Amin's resume and the NOW story is a gem.

(Altho', to give him a shred of credit, he seems to mostly ignore the unfavourable rather than fabricating the supposedly favourable as Robinoccio and Douginoccio do on their bios.) (That is to say, he mostly spins while they just make shit up as they go along.)

Agreed. His smaller far-right base may make more noise but won't necessarily translate them into votes.

I posted some related tweets in the provincial election thread. Monte is even being shunned by his own party.

I'm sure Dougie will find a way, he's a whore.

I think the Brown would have the same effect as a love child Robbie and Mike Harris, or some type of quasi Wild Rose member.

"Huff & Puff"... some how that seems all so Harry Pothead.

 

[nohostages]

Elliot is waaay more electable. So Brown.I like my conservatives " Hudak Scary" Elliot is too classy despite the gross company she holds her nose to keep.

 

[Lamport Davenport]

I notice Christine was originally a shoo-in. That is until DoFo declared his support. Brown was absolutely nowhere. Maybe it's the DoFo reverse Midas touch that's Brown's actual magic, nothing else?

I've never really understood the polar opposite types whom are drawn to the right . My Mamma is from the U.S.
south where it is even more mind boggling . What on earth did Romney and tea partiers have in common? Conservative smsll gov is a marketing ploy at best. The poorest white people who could use a social safety net are the loudest detractors of said aid. As if they think trickle down economics will be trickling in any minute now. They talk about keeping taxes low as if it's the main factor in personal wealth. When what i see are low wage service workers (like me)who die wuthout enough money for a funeral. The Flaggs of the world like the populism of a ford. But what does a Stephen Harper type offer his ilk?
