I'd also wonder if there's any gossip or murmurs up the pike from those who went to school with Mikey--unless he was *that* meek and anonymous, that is.
And another thing I've been whimsically mulling: given how backfiring-prone the Ford Nation machine's been this year, I wouldn't be surprised if this year's Ford Fest gets hit by a cronut-burger-esque food poisoning outbreak--now, *that'd* throw one heck of a monkey wrench into the works.
Oh, I'd say it's fair, especially when there's no news and things get really goofy. This thread has its high moments and some fun times. It also has it's share of dreck (and double standards.). I don't mind, though. It's the Internet. On the other hand, navneet fails to rise above and concludes that all Ford critics are all the same, before trailing off into some faux Pomo/cyberpunk nonsense. Looks like he/she knows what a metaphor is, though. Anyone running in Ward 2?
Yeah, that "We're all becoming cyborgs" thing probably seems brilliant to someone in first year university, but it's pretty hackneyed here in the real world. Points for figuring out a way to connect it to Rob Ford, I guess. Maybe the writer had two half-baked, half-finished essays sitting around and this was their novel solution to a looming deadline.
If this hasn't been posted, it should, for UT's starring role in it...

“Obviously, I think we should keep them, that’s my opinion because we want to build subways,†Ford said Tuesday. “I’ll listen to what Andy has to say but I think we should keep them and, obviously, get Sheppard done, get Finch done, get the (downtown relief line) done.â€
Sammy Yatim’s sister and mother filed a lawsuit against Toronto Police chief Bill Blair, the Toronto Police board, Const. James Forcillo and others, alleging officers acted with “reckless disregard for the life of Sammy.â€
How is he able to tell the media that Mike Ford won't be doing any interviews? Is Mike not an adult who can make these decisions on his own? That alone would make me not want to vote for him. It's childish.Either Mikey Ford is the most inarticulate of the Fords or there is a far more nefarious reason that Uncle Doug is putting a proverbial ball gag on the kid.

FixedFor customer service excellence, you could try calling Rob direct. He specialises in garbage. Every time he opens his mouth.

Ford Fest denied liquor licence
"Government’s liquor control agency says festival denied alcohol permit because it’s not “municipally significant.” Fords blame lack of time for preventing them from obtaining a licence for Friday's festival at Thomson Park."

The person who wrote that is not very bright and must be awful to be around.
This forum has kept me sane and is one of the reasons why I did not move out of Toronto last year. It has given us plenty of insights, laughs, and healthy (and often surprisingly refined) entertainment during Toronto's own Great Darkness.
Rob Ford should have lost any ability to represent this city long ago, and this forum is one of the only 'places' out there where people overwhelmingly called this... even before his election!
Arguing Urban Toronto and Ford Nation are alike is like arguing that biologists and creationists are alike... it's true only if you completely ignore everything about the issue at hand, and reduce the whole thing to two sides having an argument. Hardly a useful insight.
