The best way of explaining Ford's hard-core support is to think of him as a theory, not a politician. Then it sort of starts to make sense how he can do no wrong. It's not about the man, it's about what he espouses.

What he confirmed is that there are security cameras at the complex. What I'd like confirmed is that Ford or his associates were caught on camera there.

Amidst the craziness on Twitter, there are some terrific one-liners
@barbshulman: several people have sent in preemptive resignations along with their resumes

Here's my answer, I guess:
Daniel Dale @ddale8 4m
Tweet from Ford's executive assistant on Friday: "@kianejatian "Business as usual at City Hall.""
Don't look behind the curtain, people

They found a great opportunity. Both of them. Together.

I want to see the media collectively say "no Doug Ford", "we want the Mayor to speak on his own behalf". More than anything I'm sick to death of Doug handling all of the Mayor's media scrums and problems. Sick of it. He is not the Mayor's staff.

Agreed. While that may indeed be what Cook is getting at, lets hear it actually said and from some additional sources.
By the way, has anyone else been having an exceptionally difficult time concentrating at work these past few weeks?

Sorry I missed it- what MM rumor came to fruition? Show me and I'll gladly rescind my previous comments

Maybe we can stop quoting this person? That's being stated as fact and seems way premature in my opinion.
Premier Wynne is apparently monitoring the situation

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
Isn't the guy who the photo was taken dead? Likewise, when the pic with the second guy's face unblurred started making the rounds (who is in hospital with a gunshot wound ATM), if he said anything Ford could say that this person's face was photoshopped in. It certainly adds more closure to this photo than I get my photo taken with lots of people. You think I can't get my photo taken with Black people? Are you racist or something?!
Not necessarily. In high school the route I took home was along a forest pathway, which was a popular spot for pot smoking. Ford could just say he was out for a walk and happened to run into some kids who wanted his photo taken. The things which seems least plausible in that story is that Ford is actually out for a walk (not necessarily a fat joke, just that he spends so much time condemning the pedestrian realm that the idea of him transporting himself without a motorized vehicle seems surreal).

Oh jesus, have I ever. I still get my time in, but it seems to take a few hours more from my day.
