There are plenty of instances where this is not the case. Here is one where you quoted Jimmi T. Am I the only one who finds the constant use of "JT" a bit odd? While I'm not a great pop culture follower, my brain tells me the T should stand for "Timberlake". Hope Jimmi T is OK, whoever they are.

Brilliant! Thanks casita. I guess that back then people may have thought Lastman would be the most awful Mayor we'd have for quite some time.

That is awful. I didn't live here during the Lastman years, so I'm learning about this stuff after the fact. Still, what Lastman said still stands: The more I learn about Lastman, the more I realise what a serious rebuke that is, precisely because it came from someone like Lastman.

Good point, but I'm pretty sure that L23 was being tongue-in-cheek there. There are hemp-wearing hipster cyclists in Etobicoke and small-minded bigots downtown (plenty, in fact).

This photo reminded me of another photo. The phrase "rotten through and through" doesn't even cover Team Ford. Corrupt from tip to tail. We can do better. Please pay close attention to your ward council races! A strong Council full of decent human beings is the best and surest way to...

Very useful. Thank you!

Yes, and I quoted that bit too, and agreed with you. That's what "yep" means. OK, but here are your words from that very same post: Perhaps you can see why I thought that you - at some point prior to receiving the further details, specifically "the corroboration and the track suit detail" -...

I thought we'd established it was the chief of staff who was driving? No source, sorry; just what I thought I'd read. <tinfoil hat>Also: he got into a grey car. Les Nessman, have you made the connection between the grey car Ford got into and the grey car seen fleeing the scene of the...

Thanks for this. I needed the laugh! :)

Why? Because she's young? Because she's a girl? Because she's less credible than Doug Ford? Yep.

It was MM himself who bumped into DMW. If I recall correctly, it was in a department store. Basically, Denzil is an ass.

Yep, that's normal just about anywhere, and [in some airports] is a frequent cause of people missing connections. Look at it from the border authority's PoV: if you don't clear people as they land, then you have a mixture of people who have passed through immigration and those who have not...

Never been convicted of a drug crime? Respected* member of society? Doesn't matter. U.S. Customs and Border Protection can deny entry for any reason, and admission of prior drug use is certainly enough. Based on what I've read this morning, it does seem that he voluntarily withdrew his...

If Doug just didn't come back, who would miss him? Surely not Ward 2 constituents, who don't have a Councillor. Certainly not Council, as Doug is a bully for whom loyalty is a one way street. Definitely not the people of Toronto, as Doug is... what? Rob Ford but without crack-smoking or that...

I'd conjecture that it's conjecture, along "no smoke without fire" lines. After all, Ford does seem to get linked to people with links to organised crime quite a lot, but if there's anything more concrete, I don't think this thread knows it yet. Hopefully Les Nessman will correct me if I'm wrong.
