I'm sure she's a nice person but she tries too hard to be everyone's friend. Why on earth would someone want so desperately to have their photo taken with Doug Ford, for example?

Beyer may be one of the more ethical people to have worked for Ford but he seems very cagey about revealing what the family is like. And it's still an unusual detailed and specific threat for a hypothetical fight.

Not even. Restructured recently, bondholders are picking over the bones.

I love how they throw around the word "karma". Makes me wonder if they use that expression when they think of Rob.

So good journalism would've been ignoring the mayor smoking crack and getting goons to prevent the crack video from coming out? You can't reason with stupid.

It's funny in part because they're freely borrowing a concept from a philosophy they'd otherwise disparage. And also pretty much getting the concept completely wrong. Karma is not about 'what comes around goes around' or 'getting what's coming to you'.

The media is pretty quiet about the new councillor at City Hall. I figured they would be following him around.

James Fallows in Atlantic Magazine posts a comment from a reader on comparisons of Trump to Rob Ford:
'A Fundamental Decency': The Difference Between Rob Ford and Donald Trump
It is unclear to me if Ford would have called the Khan family in the same scenario, however I do accept there is no way he would attempt to villify them as Trump has.

Not sure about Rob Ford, but it certainly wasn't beyond the Fords:

Exploitation of whichever people would get you the most votes.

I have no doubt that Doug would attack the Khan family. Rob, I think, would have focused on defending himself (like Trump's sacrifice comments), but would only have been caught ranting about the Khans on hidden camera while in a drunken stupor.

One thing Rob did do was apologize, if only to save face and even if he didn't mean it.
