Nothing new about open caskets, Lying in State at Old City Hall Before Jack Layton, the public mourned two former mayors at our main municipal building. Women curtsied, old veterans saluted, many crossed themselves. Men and women dropped to their knees before the coffin to pray. Some reached...

No casket selfies?

Well, that's it. My heartfelt appreciation goes to those who have contributed to Rob Ford's Toronto.

I've watched City-TV news since it came on the air. But, only for their coverage of our emergency services in action. Glen Cole ( who was a neighbour of mine ) and Mark Daily were true friends of the services. ( Glen used to point to his on-air "war map" of Metro. LOL ) I've never followed...

I think we can count on a mayoral candidate with the last name of Ford in the next election.

The silence from Mount Sinai about the prognosis is deafening. "We will not be providing an update on Mr. Ford’s condition" Mount Sinai Hospital on Rob Ford https://twitter.com/reporterdonpeat/status/544872456415346688

Nothing new about death. But, this is the first time in my memory that a Chairman or Mega-City Mayor has disgraced our city. He put public safety at risk through his drug and alcohol use. As far as I'm concerned, unless you are on vacation and have notified the Deputy that s/he is in charge...

Interesting choice of where to be: "The Toronto Sun's City Hall Bureau Chief."

I don't think @CP24 knows or cares about the role they have played with respect to the damage done to our city by the Fords. https://twitter.com/daibyday/status/544891508868935680 Agreed; they are the ultimate, and unfortunately ubiquitous, tabloid trash, hopelessly addicted to all things...

I don't know, but "Bobblefactory.com is located in Morton Grove, Illinois, just North of Chicago." http://www.bobblefactory.com/about lmao

Most seem happy to play ball with the new team captain.

"professional and mature" That's all I ever asked. I'll tolerate almost anything else. Smile and shoeshine. When they start not smiling back, it's time to look for another line of work.

aka "Working the rules." ETA How is this for a Christmas card? ( Rob, top right. ) https://twitter.com/TorSunCity/status/543389528413966336/photo/1

I knew a lot of guys who could quote the rules, but obeying them was another matter. :D

"A member may request a recorded vote on any matter and must make the request immediately before or after the vote is taken." http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/municode/1184_027.pdf For the good of the City, I hope Mayor Tory keeps getting re-elected like Mayor McCallion did.

I was speculating on what if. What if Mayor Tory did not complete his first term? What if Mayor Tory did not run for a second term? Who could defeat the FN candidate?

As in any political party. I know TO does not have political parties, but FN is close to an unofficial opposition. Anyone in the bloodline can lead it. Out of aprox. 70 mayoral candidates, only JT came out ahead of FN. I don't see anyone else on the horizon who could mount a serious...

Agreed. But, FN eats this stuff up.

Must be nice to have a job with the City where you can report for duty when you want, or not at all.
