I'm not much older thank you, not sure what subculture you are part of though lol
Maybe you're right. And I want to see the family brought to its knees as much as anyone. I just don't think it's fair to make Deco employees and their families collateral damage in all of this. He's going to be done as mayor soon enough, anyway.
I'm not sure. Give Rob and Doug a big chunk of airtime, no call ins (it's pretaped), and so long as they don't have editorial control, it's entirely possible (especially from an entity as cynical as Sun News) that they just let them talk and talk and then edit and present it however the network wants. Again I'm just repeating what Kinsella said, but you'd think he'd know to some degree...
The next front line against this awful family is DECO, more specifically DECO's client list. I'm looking into my sources to come up with a complete list of DECO's clients which can be brought to the public that can choose to boycott any brands still doing business with the Fords. Heinz, Billy Bee honey and McCormick spices are some of DECO's clients. The City of Toronto also does business with DECO but Councillors' options are limited unless DECO itself is involved in anything illegal that could justify dropping them as a supplier.
Which is a more likely explanation? (A) Bitter 17-year-old makes up somewhat credible story, as RoFo was known to many as a scuzzball in November 2012. (B) RoFo is actually so evil and organized that he could pay teens for sex with high school football players.

Except that the Fords are real bantamweight rubes even by Bernays standards--though what you're saying may be true of the more "generic" right-of-centre a la Nixon/Reagan/Thatcher/Harper.
At this point, "Ford" will only win another term through a proxy such as John Tory or Michael Thompson.
Ah Mulcair... I'll still end up voting NDP. But Mulcair's really fucked himself on this Clarity Act thing. I get he's trying to shore up Quebec support but he keeps hammering this issue of "we're just doing what the Supreme Court said we should do and no other party is doing it" ... it's political suicide in a lot of the country is why they haven't. Jack had really moved the party away from being overtly radical about some stuff. This was bad politics on Mulcair's part.
This comes as news to me. M Town's definition is what I know it as. Of course I'm of a younger generation.nowadays 'ratchet' = 'wretched', usually referring to skanky woman
I was thinking younger, actually.
Subculture? Oh, just choonz and stuff.
About the high school football scenario, how likely, if that really happened, given all that has transpired until today, is it that none of the many teenaged parties allegedly involved made a complaint that the news media got wind of?

Focusing on DECO will not only cut off the cash flow that is being used against Toronto (i.e. lawyers vs City of Toronto, funding Ford's campaign, Ford's future office budget, impunity towards fines, etc). It'll also bring Ford as a rich, spoiled, entitled brat into public perception. He's not blue collar and he's not just like many of his Ford Nation supporters. He's filthy rich and he acts untouchable and entitled to the Mayor's office and won't leave. This can't be emphasized enough.
If any of you are aware of brands that get their labels printed at DECO, please add it to the list. Also, feel free to call and write these brands CEOs asking them to print their labels somewhere else or be seen to be supporting the Fords.
DECO's clients:
Heinz
Billy Bee
McCormick spices
City of Toronto
If it's anything like the radio show it's going to be 80% community calendar, and 20% listing of grievances. It's the 20% where things have the potential to get interesting.
If he is the mob's guy, by now they're saying "like WTF, how do we get this guy outta there?"
Well, let's take that line of thought to it's logical extreme and work backwards---is there anything at all a company could do that would deserve a boycott, knowing that hurting their business could harm innocent employees? If you'd agree that, yes, A company could potentially be involved in behavior that would deserve that, then what is the least a business could do to warrant a boycott? Is being owned by individuals as odious as the Fords, who use their fortune to gain political office, worthy of that sort of action?
I'd say yeah, definitely. Any company that puts its' profits towards nefarious ends deserves to be run out of business. Deco is such a company.
