Well, Bubbles Ford would have his work cut out for him because I hear that Hammy Ford, Stephanie's hamster, is poised for a council run. Lot of excitement over in Ward 2 about this energetic young go-getter.

Vested interest or not, I don't believe that I've ever heard his uncles say anything as forthrightly compassionate as "I believe everyone regardless of race or sexuality should be included." Indeed I don't think Ro or Do have any concept of inclusivity. So maybe he's not toeing the Ford line in...

FAS is a spectrum, so he could be on the low end, who knows. Anyway his having a disability possibly, or his being 20, unqualified and/or possibly not having a high school diploma -- none of those things bother me on their own merits. What does bother me is him being silenced by his uncle and...

Possible that Mikey is not such a bad guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqOpZaOhXzU Apologies if this has already been posted.

Maybe I should phrase it better: I hope any legitimate interest in municipal politics grows, but interest in it as a circus /celebrity clown show dies down.

I hope with a sane person in charge, interest in municipal politics and political figures dies down to what it was pre-crack-smoking-mayor era, and the Fords are somewhat forgotten. There is simply too much attention paid to the Fords. Ford nation will lose interest and dissolve. Ahhh, if only...

Interesting that Dofo's Tory smears seem to be working amongst this crowd. He donated to me! White golf club! These points have been repeated here a lot on the last few pages. Doug would be thrilled. Not an attack, just an observation.

Perhaps Tory hired Kouvalis because of his intimate knowledge of the Fords? It sort of make sense to me from that perspective. Also, I know some feel that the positioning of Tory as the front runner and the one to beat is the underhanded work of Kouvalis, but is it really so underhanded? Seems...

I knew they were Pastafarians! But seriously, why are some so convinced that Doug can't take this? If there is anything I've learned in life, it's that for every one articulate, broad-minded, intelligent UT poster, there are easily 10 morons. There is nothing that has convinced me it's out of...

Keeping things in perspective here, the best thing we can say about RF is that he's not currently facing criminal charges. That's an incredibly low bar for a top politician, but he has lowered our expectations of him so far that he is now at the point where he can literally get away with almost...

A digression from Ford, but doesn't it seem a bit weird to say that only the rich are allowed to procreate? Procreation is fundamental function of biology, and money is an artificial construct. And kids are only "expensive" because the society we've constructed lacks the essential supports for...

Further to this, I think inspiring an emotional reaction in him will be the only thing to knock him off message. He needs to be insulted and denigrated relentlessly until he gets flustered and reacts. Calling him "a poor role model" is not the way to do it.

Maybe this is a fantasy -- perhaps we can start an indiegogo campaign? Use the dollars for advertising and mobilizing voters... We can all contribute our savings from VRT removal;)

I am seriously almost in tears at this point. Perhaps it's time to admit that Ford seems to have some sort of weird stronghold on this city. I want to believe that big consequences are coming his way. But I'm starting to lose faith. It seems that Ford will never have to properly account for...

Yeah at this point, his strong supporters are a lost cause. They will support him even if it comes out that he served them barbecued babies at Ford Fest ("who hasn't cooked up infant from time to time, he's moved on!"). It's the weak "I guess I support him" kind of people who need to be swayed -...
