Rob Ford's Toronto

[MetroMan]

Bam, we're at $140,000. $1,500 donated in the last 10 minutes. What gift will the Fords give to Crackstarter tomorrow?

FordCracker is about to hit $140,000.

MetroMan,

The Towhey thing may be the manna we were asking for, it's flying up now. 140K all of a sudden!

I can't *wait* to see Doug Ford run for the Conservatives with Hudak!

MM, what have you heard about why he was fired? Anything?

 

[MetroMan]

Nothing. My source isn't in his office.

 

[Gavin]

Ha. Fair enough.

$140,000!

 

[MetroMan]

Still, from what we do know, Towhey was the mastermind behind the admit, apologize, resign, return strategy. Ford was considering it but clearly he decided against it. The man does not want to leave. He'll have to be dragged out or kicked out by the people. It's no stretch of the imagination to see Mark putting more and more pressure for Ford to follow his advice and Rob losing his patience and firing him.

Raised and cashed out yesterday. Whoever donated to this other campaign: you've been fooled.

 

[Peepers]

At current rates the fund is projected to hit $200,000 sometime tomorrow morning:

At this point it appears there will be no problem hitting $200K . We could see this video as early as tomorrow or on the weekend. My only concern is interference by Toronto Police could prevent this video from ever being shown to the public.

I thought it was known who started that campaign. Then again, that could all be a ruse. For shame.

I wonder how long Rob Ford thinks he can not address this.

Jaye Robinson has said apparently that the firing related to football and not the crack allegations, but either way this is just a train wreck.

Yes.
