Oh yes he's been around. Was at both bobble head sales, and he's mentioned in this - lovely documentation of the truly selfless Fords

I vague recall having read about him in the papers as well. Could be wrong.

Exactly.

“I expect this will be the largest funeral in Toronto’s history,” said Doug Ford. “

If things go as swimmingly as I feel it will be Toronto's biggest funeral, for Dougie's political career.

Yeah, except the self-admission to crack use, the known cases of drinking and driving, etc.

Some of history's most popular politicos have been drunks, criminals and going back perhaps three lifetimes, slave owners and downright cads.

Quite plausibly, though they probably had more to show in terms of achievements as well.

Ok, I've been trying to be respectful in wake of his death but...how strange is it that the disgraced, crack-smoking mayor gets this royal send off? No one I've spoken to can understand it. Perhaps Tory thinks he can win over part of Ford Nation by supporting this?

Yes I'm sure we'll see John Tory run again as a right winger and repeat his non-success with wooing Ford Nation voters.

Well said.

The fords clearly have a LOT of high powered people in their grip I bet. As with all low level functioning, mid level operating but high level, delusional sociopaths; I think they have a ton of shit on a lot of people. When you can't run with the pack, keep track of injuries just in case.

You seem to like the conspiracy theories. Ford's faking cancer; Ford might not be dead; The Fords hold enough political power to do just about anything.

They're a two-bit family who were in the right place at the right time. Much of what's happened to them is sheer luck or apathy on the part of the voters than any actual machinations.

Doug and Diane Ford; Machiavelli they ain't.

I love conspiracies. This is the Internet no? (Looks around)

At one time I was considered "crazy" because I had heard this "crazy" conspiracy theory that there was this video of some guy smoking crack... I think it was a mayor..

I'm not a hard core tinfoil hat at all. I'm more in the "I wouldn't be surprised either way" category.

Here's a conspiracy theory for you: http://mashable.com/2016/03/28/john...s/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link#JFlon7cHxOqM

If the Fords truly were "Kennedys", wouldn't Rob and Doug have both been shot by now?

The events could be the same like two brothers dying and one disgraced in legal proceedings.

Not to sound insensitive... Robbie is dead, Randy is disgraced,...

Hmmm... one would think that stuff like political memorabilia be banned since this a non-partisan occasion, even Dougie said; it's a Ford Fester Folks!

And Douggie is a disgrace.

Is Iola on 1010 right now? Sounds like her.
