I think with Chow meeting the Sheik from here on it takes the wind out of some "celebrity endorsements" Ford might have been trying to leverage - now its going to be "so what...."
This conversation brings up an interesting point about how and why we elect people to council. I've mentioned in other posts that I have worked on political campaigns before. I've always found it odd that people will bring up a complex problem - like narrow roads where vehicles have to stop to make deliveries and then pepper a candidate with questions about what they are going to do and then dismiss said candidate if they don't have an immediate and detailed answer. Candidates know this is coming so they try to rehearse stock answers to things they cannot possibly know the answer to but I'm curious why people think any candidate will have a good answer to these types of questions?
Almost none of the people who run for council are experts in transportation or infrastructure. Ideally they should be someone who can think creatively, work with others, find support, know where to get funding, represent us with dignity, be able to make tough decisions when required and get things done on time and within a budget. It's a waste of time to ask candidates these types of questions. It only creates a situation where the focus is diverted to whatever pet peeve is on the asker's mind. And it effectively eliminates good, honest candidates when others are willing to bluster their way through baloney answers to please angry voters. Rob Ford said that he'd end the gravy train. Isn't that how we got into this mess in the first place? All the clues were there before he was elected. His criminal activity, arrest, spousal abuse, unwillingness to work with others, attitude that everyone else is stupid or corrupt. It was under our noses and he was still elected simply because he promised lower taxes and less "gravy". How easy was that?
Can you imagine going into a corporation to apply for a job as a secretary and be turned away because you couldn't answer a question about how to improve the company's stock prices? It just doesn't happen - so why do we do this when hiring people to sit on council? We don't elect people to personally solve these issues but we do elect them to work with people who can create an environment where things get done.
Have we lost our collective minds?
Doesn't the bottom left and bottom right of the ad conflict with one another?
Latest from MetroMan: "which is why I'm kind of hoping the arrest comes October 28. Defeat by the people first, justice the next day."

Another six months of trench warfare?
MetroMan has become a joke. MY sources say Ford is going to be charged with JFK's murder, the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, price-fixing of gasoline prices and masterminding the Black Sox scandal, and that every second the police get half as close to an arrest as they were the second before, despite or because of interference from the Mafia, the Illuminati, The Smoking Man and The Elder Things.

I don't care for that. If Ford successfully completes his term, that gives it a legitimacy that it doesn't deserve. I want his name to have a perpetual asterisk next to it in the history books.
