I'd be curious to know where the hundreds of "Ford Nation" and "Rob Ford" small paper flags came from. Were there boxes of them at NPS?

I think someone said that Doug was showing them off on CP24 a day or two after the death - so guess. Like who else would print and give out little flags for funerals.

apparently the family brought them to NPS and had them handed out.

Given the pantheon of lies that echoed round the vaulted ceilings today, I wouldn't be surprised if St James Cathedral is sucked overnight into a vast sulfurous sinkhole.

When he showed it to LeDrew, he said something to imply that it was just a little something the boys in Chicago whipped up, God bless them, as if he was touched by their thoughtfulness. It was very weak tea indeed, and LeDrew didn't even bother picking up on it (or the flag).

Does anyone think that Rob actually planned his own funeral? Downtown, a procession (which right now is looking like a Ford Nation parade/pep rally) probably the most "elite" church.

No. Your thinking of Jack Layton.

No. Your thinking of Jack Layton.

Jack Layton planned it, but it almost certainly didn't involve planning for prep rallies or procession - nor likely did Rob Ford himself. The fingerprints is very much of his brothers'.

Is there a recommended rehab for UT? Asking for a friend.

 

[Videodrome]

Yeah, the body is in the ground by now. Perhaps a more general thread would be better, or none at all.

The last shebang at the Congress Centre tonight - then what? Ford Nation might be a good thread title.

Good name, except it might attract the wrong kinda of folks.
