I bet many -- if not most -- of those Rexdalians that are being discussed are single moms with children. Marriage isn't an antidote to poverty, but it sure helps to have two parents with two incomes.

Well you'd be wrong. I canvassed those Rexdale highrises in 2014 - did you?ĺ

I'm actually at a loss for words. Why would they allow this?

"Rob Ford's son praises 'the best dad'"

http://www.torontosun.com/2016/03/23/rob-fords-son-praises-the-best-dad

"Dougie’s uncle Doug Ford chuckled at his nephew’s first media scrum and said he was fine with it being quoted in the newspaper."​

This is horrible and heartbreaking. Doug "only" has daughters so he's turned his attention to Dougie Jr as his next political tool. Rob's body isn't even cold yet.

“You bought me toys and everything and without you, I would be nothing. You did everything for me. I don’t know what else to say.”​

Doesn't sound like an 8-year-old, wouldn't be surprised if he were coached beforehand on what to say. DoFo is such a scumbag.

Is it? Are there any recent examples for someone who isn't Anglican to have their funeral there?

Jim Flaherty was Catholic.

Other than yourself, who, exactly, is discussing 'Rexdalians'? Do you have some sort of axe to grind? What is your point?

Keep in mind that Rob coached Stephanie to say "no comment" to reporters when she was still a toddler. These kids don't stand a chance.

ETA: Stephanie also told a reporter F John Tory at a fundraiser before the election.

That's actually a rather creepy thing to say - as if one's worth is dependent on someone else. Eek.

Dougie's comments were definitely not the comments of an 8 year old. They are the comments from his uncle.

Hahaha... SL, you can't believe Armour would deign... shame on you. ;-)

I signed the book of condolences on behalf of Urban Toronto. I even left a chalk message signed as nfitz. No need to thank me

Wait...you left a mocking message in a book of condolences that his kids, nephew, and other relatives will read?

For the record @DougFord2014 did NOT auth invu w/ Dougie, and even if he did, he is not legal guardian, has no authority to do so. #RobFord

I would say Dan's reading this thread but it seems his tweet is before my post

 

[kbdid]

per Dan Jacobs Doug is saying there was no permission was given to the Sun to interview Rob's son. ETA Clarification, Doug is saying he didn't giver permission, and couldn't because he's not the legal guardian.

Do you think they realized they crossed a line (again)?

And you can have two parents with two incomes without being married.

"They" being Doug, or the Sun? Because I find it very easy to believe that Doug could lie to Dan Jacobs about what he said to a reporter.
