I can't wait any longer I NEED TO SEE THIS SHIT
Conspiracy time:
Ford is certainly involved in all this but not how we imagine. Its no secret rob ford has drug past and his family has a connection to the drug kingpins.
But police may be using rob ford as a source to get to the top leadership.
Mayor Rob Ford takes credit for Toronto’s significant drop in unemployment

More people are working in the City of Toronto, and the mayor wants the credit.
“I was elected on a promise to create jobs, and that’s exactly what I’ve done,” Mayor Rob Ford told journalists gathered in the mayor’s protocol lounge at City Hall at lunchtime on Thursday.
“When I took office, day after day our city was losing business to our competitors. In 2010 I promised to create jobs and tackle our unemployment rate.”
The city put out a news release saying that according to Statistics Canada, “the City of Toronto’s unemployment rate has dropped nearly [three percentage points] in one year (from 10% in August 2012 to 7.1% in August 2013.”
The city said that there are now 58,000 more city of Toronto residents employed than a year ago.
The city singled out the thriving film industry, high-rise construction and low vacancy rates in office towers as markers of Toronto’s economic health.
“Folks, Toronto’s unemployment rate has dropped almost [four percentage points] in three years,” Mr. Ford said. Michael Williams, general manager of economic development for the city, and Joe Pennachetti, the city manager, confirmed at the news conference that the city’s unemployment rate was 11% when Mr. Ford took office in December 2010.
However, a graph handed out by city staff suggests that, after peaking at 11% in August, 2010, the employment rate was closer to 9.5% in December of that year.
“The unemployment rate in Toronto is noticeably dropping,” Mr. Ford said. “North York Scarborough, Etobicoke. Everyone’s working. The best social program, I have always said, is a job.”
North York Scarborough, Etobicoke. Everyone’s working
I once read that the former city of York is the San Francisco of Toronto.
I've seen newspaper articles refer to areas in York as Etobicoke.
I have been trying to remember what the Mayor has actually done for job creation since reading this page of the thread and I can't, other than contracting out garbage collection. I feel slightly sheepish.
The Crown has withdrawn an assault charge against a woman accused of throwing a drink at Mayor Rob Ford during a street festival this summer.
Shannon Everett, 27, was instead required to donate $500 to CAMH, the charity of her choice.
Everett denies throwing her drink at the mayor and repeated that she was not intoxicated or suffering from a mental illness that day.
Councillor Doug Ford had said to media that Everett did not appear “in her right mind” at the time.
“The truth is I have never and would never throw a drink in anyone's face, even Mayor Ford,” said Everett on the steps outside the courthouse.

Everett's lawyer Marie Henein said she regrets losing the chance to test the credibility of the witnesses in the case — including Mayor Ford — but that “it's a great day for Shannon.”

It's a charitable donation, so I would think so, What does that have to do with anything?I wonder if she gets a tax receipt for that?

York may have a lot of hills, but most certainly it does not have fog. It's not very gay, or queer; and it isn't very punk or hippie either. There was, however, a lot of Caribbean folks (mostly Jamaican) on Eglinton when I grew up there.
