Rob Ford's Toronto

[adma]

Why does this thread still exist? Rob is dead and we're in a new political era. If people think Tory is Ford in a better suit - I do - then can't we move on to his thread and close this one?

It still exists for the same reason that you still find people wearing Richard Nixon masks for Halloween.

A timely comment considering Nixon's playbook is now being used my Trump, just like Ford's playbook, if not worn bare by his brother, will eventually be used again by some future opportunist.

Yep, this proves anyone can sell themselves be an a$$hole for the right money.

Now there is truly no need to call someone a wh*re on the forum - especially a woman, crossed out or otherwise.

I disagree, but you are the boss so I edited the comment.

For the record, I don't subscribe to sexism, just contempt for a #&$% that they themselves are willfully selling themselves for attention. This is a forum dedicated to all things Ford, 'nuff said.

Oh wow, SAL's book has come out and it's even more vile and disgusting than I expected.

She really is entirely lacking in self-awareness. It's all 'kids were mean to me when I was a kid ... why don't adults respect me now that I'm an adult who still engages in name-calling and petty grudges?'

Apparently Doug was on with John Oakley this morning, still bitching about the video being released and asking for apologies from all media sources. Pathetic.

Any more threats of running for mayor?

Doug wants an apology from the media? Does he not remember some of the things he's said about the media?

 

[W. K. Lis]

Does "The Media" include the internet? Doug's friends at the Sun are in the same boat as the Star, because of the internet. With most people having smartphones, we can all be "The Media". Doug had better actually look around himself.

Ho-hum. Doug, like Flagg, is akin to a wife batterer whose spouse he thought would never have the guts to leave, leaves. And the crack video's like divorce papers.

How much money does he intend to waste?

"Asked about his own political plans, Ford said he’s ruled out a federal run.

“It’s either two things — I’m going to run for the provincial PC party in Etobicoke North or I’m going to run against John Tory,” he said."

Scary thing is if Tory were to retire or move on Doug might be favoured to win. He's young enough that he'll be around another 15-20 years or so.

Can't he just find a real job ?

 

[PinkLucy]

Doesn't he have a real job already? (running Deco). He should just stay there. Or move to Chicago permanently.
