Rob Ford's Toronto

[pattycakes]

Doug said that 3400 people showed up yesterday. That is still less than 1% of Toronto's population.

As Doug has said more than once about CH attendees:

What's wrong with these people? Don't they have jobs? Must be paid mourners!

This video is a pretty good, balanced review of Ford's career. I was surprised to see one of my coworkers in there. I had no idea he used to cover city hall!

To keep things in perspective it's important to remember that Doug is an inveterate liar and an asshole.

Correct!

Today is a work day for everyone too, but Ford Nation people might not have jobs.

And most importantly, "I'm not perfect".

Massive outpouring of grief down to 10 people on line.

If the line is that short now a UTer should go and give us a shout out to the camera--make a UT hand sign or something.

Selfie Doug has now given way to sad Doug.

That's odd, only Doug, Karla and Mikey today. Guess they didn't think through the part about the long hours. You know, kinda like working for a living.

Still expecting an appearance by the Dixon Bloods... and the man wearing the nazi memorabilia. And this guy.

It's less than 0.1% per Doug's math and less than 0.05% according to GAM math.

I'm sure there's a lot of city staffers wanting to pay their LAST respects to Rob, and by the way, any sign of Karen Stinz?

I'm just curious, when Jack Layton was lying in repose at City Hall was Olivia Chow there to greet members of the public?

JPags' story in the Star today made me snicker. Mostly neutral, interviewing different people who came to see RoFo, then at the end mentions the Don Bosco players..."skipping city-hall duties for the grid-iron"..."dismissed after controversial comments"..."showed up intoxicated to a crucial practice" (I don't even remember hearing about that).

A quick google search says yes. There's pictures and references in the articles
