Yep! Alan, I would've never chosen that name.

He seems to despise Tory beyond his policies. He's not Ford nation but sometimes hates on Tory with people like Levy and Graeme. I think it's someone Tory might've burned in the past, now he's obsessed with bringing him down.He has followed and unfollowed me a few times. From what I can tell. he isn't hardcore Ford Nation, but still not big on the current mayor.
It's amazing to me he threatens someone publicly. His temper is a bit alarming.You see he basically told Furr he'd beat him up if he ever sees him again. Crazy that fool worked in the mayor's office!

The asshole was caught, feel somewhat better now...
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/knaan-auditions-recruiters-1.3372931Born in Somalia and raised in Toronto's Dixon Road community, K'naan is turning to the neighbourhood he once called home to find a star for a new television series called The Recruiters.
Auditions for the role of a "young Somali man" were held for poets, musicians and rappers between the ages of 17 and 25 in Etobicoke on Friday at Thistletown Community Centre and will continue Saturday at the Somali Immigrant Aid Organization on Weston Road.
[...]
Various U.S. media reports, including a story in The Hollywood Reporter, say the series will zero in on the process of recruitment of young Somali men into Islamic extremist groups.
CBC News could not independently confirm the subject the series will explore.
And never mind Trump; re this kind of powderkeg demo, I'd wonder if there'd be some unsavoury individual out there who'd actually recruit such suicidal individuals on behalf of suicide-bombing incidents. Sort of like, goodbye cruel world and take down hundreds of people in Times Square or some such familiar node.
Maybe we *would* be seeing it now, were it not for the strategic typecasting of suicide bombing as a 72-virgins "Eastern" thing, doing it for Allah, etc etc...
Alan, anything else you can tell us about your "interview" with Filion? He sounds like a real chatty guy. Did you have to specify "off the record" at any point?Yep! Alan, I would've never chosen that name.
A little bit but nothing too juicey for you guys really. He basically outlined his premise upfront: he was trying to find out why Ford is the way he is and also that he's not the terrible person people make him out to be. I just shared a couple of football stories: how badly he seemed to want to impress Doug Sr. when he came to one of our games and some of the class warfare stuff he used to try to instill in us when playing Richview, which is basically a public school for the elite.Alan, anything else you can tell us about your "interview" with Filion?

I find this, so insulting! None of these stories about Mike Kiklas where told by a family member. I was his wife at the time of his death. I can't believe the lie's that have been told and how ignorant people are to believe everything they read! A father was taken away from his children. A murderer was set free, only to commit another violent crime. Those are the facts, that is the issue. Not the crap that this reporter has written. Jacqualine.i can't remember if we had cleared this up before... why do some places state kiklas as being jennifer's father, instead of pressley?
actually... it's more like i should be saying that the other way around... why is she a pressley?
here are 3 examples...

so... mikey's dad killed his half-sister's (jennifer's) dad?!?
i really hope what i'm about to say is taken in the right way. if i were speaking i wouldn't so be worried, but with this being text... i just hope you see i mean no harm and am just trying to understand.I find this, so insulting!

Sounds like he played football coach the same way he played Mayor: Rules? What rules? Only MY rules matter here.A little bit but nothing too juicey for you guys really.

2. Hockey Hall of Fame: Officials at the hockey shrine claim they had no say in the appointment of Toronto’s controversial ex-mayor Rob Ford to its board of directors. They should have told the City of Toronto, which gets to select three directors, that the optics were disgraceful and they didn’t want Ford.
