What animatronic said. When I was canvassing in Ward 2 for Andray, against first Mikey and then Rob, I heard a fair few people praising Rob but no one voluntarily offered any similar praise for Doug. That's just my own anecdotal evidence. We also researched Doug's activities as councillor, which...

Is Peter Leon still available? Seriously, Ward 2 has had no useful representation at city hall for more than five years now. I'd love to see city hall appoint someone if only to keep the spectre of Doug away. He obviously hated being councillor - well, he avoided actually doing anything for...

He was elected to be the mayor of all the people of Toronto and to lead the city. He was not elected to be the mayor of all the candy Rob Ford wanted for himself.

No. He did not love the city. He only loved the things that mattered to him personally. Look at his *ahem* mayoral accomplishments. He got rid of the VRT, ripped up bikelanes, took away councillor's sandwich plates for late evenings, fired the city hall plant-watering-person, raged at streetcars...

What has anyone said that isn't true?

Chalking NPS is easy if you're downtown. Kind of unlikely I'd jump in my car and drive in from the burbs just to do a bit of chalking.

I've not heard this myself so I just throw it out there as part of today's chatter. A poster on fb has just said: "Warmington spoke on 640 just now saying Rob had promised to leave a brown envelope with info, naming names etc. "

FoFam would want to keep Renata close if only to groom little Dougie for future political stardom (they don't put any stock in female offspring). But I'd salivate over the as-told-to book Renata could write. Bet someone is already on the case.

Being Ward 2 councillor again? Doug would surely view that as an enormous step backward given his apparently lofty ambitions. And if Rob's getting set to shuffle off this mortal coil in the near future, I can't see Doug maintaining his interest in the mayoralty until 2018. The holy aura of Rob...

In which case he'll definitely be pressering on the steps of Mount Sinai before the day is out. ("Steps" in the metaphorical, city-hall-steps sense.)

And sheltered overhead with a giant $12,000 pink umbrella.

Damn those pinko cyclist commie mice.

That parcel of land should be named after Daniel Dale, not Rob Ford.

The quote that "doctors hope" is from "a reliable source" - which probably speaks more about the source's wishful thinking than actual medical reality.

And/or the Order of Canada.

And he is also shilling for Canadians to vote for Trump: So that's the friggin lunatic who was scuttling round the Y-D scramble like a deranged crab the other day.

Post-Chicago melee, Marco Rubio hints that the protests "seemed orchestrated" and invokes the Doug Ford line that "paid protestors" are involved. Can't these Republicans make up their own shit?

Hmmm, can't see Justin indulging the Fords. Not after Doug said Justin Trudeau was unfit to lead because "he has smoked weed."

Oh rock my world. I went there. Text includes such gems as: "Ezra is going to drop off a card and some flowers with Rob next week." No doubt, wrapped up in a pink ribbon with little hearts on it. And, "If you want to support the man, Rob Ford, just flesh and bone; but also if you want to...

He's invited them all to the next FordFest.
