Rob Ford's Toronto

[Electrify]

My theory behind the forest pic is that this way he can justify his "pictures with anyone" defence. See, having his pic taken at 2am with drug dealers is no abnormality, he gets his picture taken with all sorts of walks of life in all sorts of settings.

Man, he really should have said they were friends of his football players. As I said earlier, it would have been the one lie that is actually plausible.

The problem is that no one will go on record because they have nothing to gain and lots to lose... hence, anonymous sources.

Another name added to my ignore list.

Keep shrinking that cone of ignorance...

I think a lot of people are amazed at your willingness to turn a blind eye to everything. It's one thing to give benefit of the doubt, it's entirely another to just ignore what is out there and claim that only unimpeachable evidence is acceptable. It's like the lady who supports for who said "I won't believe a thing unless they track down that pipe and prove that your DNA is on it"

Do you at least think that the Commissioner made a strong point regarding his (and his office's) latest actions? The paper shredding?

Plausible until the same kid says "what? I don't know anyone at don bosco" and another whole fiasco ensues about why he's lying about the circumstances. Good thing you aren't his press secretary

I know some guys at DECO Labels & Tags who can start manufacturing them

Maybe that was always part of the plan. (Except poor Rob was never clued in by his older brother--until now)

Twitter's abuzz regarding the Mayor touring his staff offices with security right now.

In the meantime Doug has gone totally rancid:

What I love about this is that Doug Ford dove head in to this and is now just as involved as Rob Ford. This is a 2-4-1 deal now. When this busts open, the Twin Mayors are both out.

The problem with your theory is that it puts Ford in a known hang out for pot smokers from Scarlett Heights.

Interesting. The Fords are impacting the PCs in polls, but yet Rob's poll numbers stay the same. Or at least they did. I'd be interested in seeing a poll done today

Maybe he was hoping that kids wouldn't recognize him as the Mayor, and he could sell some hash to them?

CP24 reported the same. What a reported just noted is they send Doug out with a lot of nothing for the media to distract them from what's going on behind the glass in Rob Ford's office. Has it really come to this?

It makes some sense. Rob's poll would be done only in the city. I assume the other poll is Provence wide, where he may not have the hard core base he has here.
