Its truly frightening that in fords mind, being seen in anything but a suit is bad because it would reflect poorly on Toronto, yet his being constantly drunk, high, an asshole, or all of the above in said suit while in public isn't a concern for him.

It's little, seemingly inconsequential slips of his shit tongue like this that relay to those of us on land his exact coordinates in his own personal sea of denial. It's a glimpse into just one of the sleight-of-hands occuring in his own addiction-addled subconscious that allows him to continue operating as though the problem lies outside of himself.

I can't stand the comments by the majority of the Sun readers. The lack of logic in their comments baffles me. The majority of the comments are racist and I find it disturbing that some one could have thoughts like that. They are so caught up in the messaging and platitudes that they fail to understand that the Fords are bad for them and the city of Toronto.
The Fords are dangerous because many in the media will not challenge them on their lies. The media should report the facts and the truth about the Ford administration instead of parroting what Rob and Doug say as if it gospel.
I hope for the sake of your city that he doesn't get reelected. My husband thinks it is ridiculous that I care so much about what is happening in Toronto because we live in BC. I think i care because it could just as easily happen in my city.

Believe it or not, the pro-RoFo posts were even worse until the March 5 story broke. I've noticed the FoPologists have quieted down since then.

pure poetry.

if there is a psycho-therapeutic component to mr. ford's rehab, surely among the many core issues would be his relationship with his wife and kids, and then his relationship with his father. these are in-session knockout punches (sans french fries), and 60 days ain't going to cut it.

if i have any empathy for his lordship, that weepy midnight phone call to kia nejatian from his father's grave continues to speak volumes to me.

I would love to work for a boss like that.

Because every time they called when I was off the clock, I would bill the City for four hours overtime @ time-and-one-half.

Let him justify the necessity of the call.

since it's a slow news day, i decided to check up on some "outstanding items", and saw this on gawker...

There was also a recent claim that Rob Ford was fired from a job as a counsellor at a YMCA camp as a teenager for dealing drugs. The claim came from one of Rob Ford's campers.

i like knowing that info is elsewhere (as in not just on UT).

I love this detail as much as the next UTer, but has any second person come out with some more on this? Another camper? Another camp counsellor?

"My ex-boyfriend accused me of wanting to have sex with Rob Ford. He's not entirely wrong. You have to see him in person. He's one of the most charismatic men I've ever met. It would be fun. He would laugh. It wouldn't be stressful, and it wouldn't be about getting off. It would be about having a fun, sassy time. I would vote for him."

Love the comments: "Reading this makes me want to let him do cocaine from my tits"

In the grand scheme of things, it really makes no difference, it's not going to change anyone's opinion of him one way or the other, it does push the drug use younger, but changes nothing, just one more detail, a sentence or two in the expanded and updated Crazy Town...

Guess it's hard to find funding after Manufacturing Dissent.

Debbie Melnyk & Rick Caine – Manufacturing Dissent winner Best Documentary Indie Memphis Film Festival, SXSW, Hot Docs, Citizen Black: Montreal World Film Festival, Doc Soup, The Frank Truth: Toronto International Film Festival, Junket Whore

Punctuation counts.

They represent Doolittle as Rob's dick? Chow as a Ford nipple? Honestly, I'd love to see The Frank Truth, though.

From an in law with a cottage 5 mins from Greenstone and in the loop on mactier/bracebridge gossip: the facility is not regarded as a real rehab, is rumoured to have mob connections, and a go to place to get blow in the area.
