Rob Ford is confused. He said he has "built the subway in Scarborough".

based on what little i've seen/heard so far, i'm incredibly despondent. i'm very, very tempted at this point to just say fuck it: toronto will get the mayor it deserves.

Just got a robocall from John Tory. That man has the impeccable timing of a Soviet rail network.

At the debate now and I'm running out of patience at the idiots supporting Ford heckling goddamn EVERYONE ELSE. Especially Soknacki, poor fellow.

I've noticed the entire Ford campaign has been much more "wrestling" than every before. The Jerry Springer type over-the-top cheering/booing, the confrontations. He really brought an ugly cloud into politics that I haven't seen before.
A thing that amazes me is how Ford nation loves being figuratively slapped in the face by him. For his bobblehead signings he comes always late either out of disrespect for his "fans" or just to make the line look long. Reminds me also of his Ford fest hotdog giveaway, instead of having four people giving out hotdogs so it can go quicker. He has a single person giving it and have the line be a single-file line so it can look longer. Who cares if people are waiting for over an hour to get a measly hotdog. It's all about visual optics of support, so no surprise he would do a stunt like tonight. His fan base has no self-respect for themselves so why should he have any for them.
Ford keeps claiming threats against him, and has cops come in because of it. But the only threat I can confirm is the video of Ford threatening somebody with death, there's actually a video of that and there's nothing vague about it. Any followup on that. Is there an investigation into that? Or the vague threat about a security guy better "watch out" do we have a follow up of that. I mean he does hang out with known shady people, what possible reason to not follow up on the threats. Oh I forget "men of influence" again, they are allowed to do whatever they want.

Ford of all people should know that you need to keep your powder dry.

Tory will "win" all of the debates simply because English is his first language, and he speaks well.

One of the requirements for audience questions is, no questions may be directed to a specific candidate. So we might not ever tackle the elephant in the room.

this speaks incredibly badly of our democracy. what kind of bloody debate is it where the incumbent can't be made to address this?
