True, it is before the crack of noon!

Even at his worst, Ford always made it to Council Meetings—seldom if ever for the start of meetings, but certainly before the voting started. Don't forget, that's his schtick; he always calls for a recorded vote, because that is the only time anything approaching attendance is taken at City Hall, and it makes his attendance look way better than it really is.

I have another theory as to why criminals seem to become staunch conservatives when they go legit--now that they're working way harder for sometimes far less money and paying taxes on top of that, they get really pissed when that money is wasted. Like one ex con I was talking to the other day who used to make big money dealing has now gone legit and is part of the rabid anti-Wynne/anti-Liberal crowd.

Well, they probably didn't like taxes when they were hustling either, right? Just a different way of avoiding them when they go legit.

They just started voting and still no ex-mayor.

Don't worry, there are plenty of other lame councillors from Etobicoke who can represent Ford.

Funny, as bad as Campbell is, he's still probably the best councillor in Etobicoke.

Plus, the agenda has reached the first item Ford has on hold. Nunziata seemed all set to go to a vote, but Joe Mihevc successfully urged Council to wait and seems to think he'll show up.

Hospital perhaps?

Eaton Centre Indigo only has two copies of Towhey's book, already buried up in the stacks. Does not appear to be the must-buy stocking stuffer for 2015.

Then wouldn't the person in charge of his Twitter account have posted a picture of the brave Mr. Ford?

Or wouldn't Mr. Ford have at least had the courtesy to advise the Speaker and release his holds?

That's his normal MO. Call holds on everything, then pop in at the last minute to release the holds and demand a recorded vote.

Isn't it ridiculous that he's still pulling these passive aggressive stunts that are designed for no other purpose than to gratify his own ego and drag as much attention on to him as is possible - and in the pettiest, tackiest, most childish way imaginable, mark you - and the rest of Council are still letting him get away with it? Why the hell are these weaklings allowing him to go on stealing their milk money like this? Just how fucking useless are these people?

Maybe they can have him designated as a "vexatious legislator" and make him apply to a judge any time he wants to request a hold.

He also worships Ford. One guy who knows them described him as Ford's puppet--he'll do anything Ford tells him to do.

i'm still hoping you answer these...

does that mean that basically all his friends didn't know he was hanging out with gang members and doing drugs? or did they just bail once it became publicly known?

also... any insight into who his buddies were?

Did he ever show up? I went by his house shortly after noon and his vehicle wasn't there, although there were two cars in the driveway.

I've had council on most of the day and haven't seen him.
