There is so much assumed privilege here, I'm not sure where to start... Many wealthy people work hard. Many middle class, or working class people work hard. It doesn't prove your assertion that taxation is coercion. Our society requires taxes and social programs to sustain itself. If the...

I've seen infants with more musical intuition and skill than what is happening here. http://instagram.com/p/kvZzFkxcLv/

I'm wondering what people think about today's Star story and what it says about Lisi's cooperation with police. There has been speculation and rumor on this thread that he's been working for the TPS. Does today's story dispell, or support that presumption? On one hand, having to go to apple...

I'm inclined to side with the Enzo and MetroMan camp on this one. If the TPS were merely engaging in a fishing expedition, I wouldn't expect them to trot out the lead detective to do media essentially confirming their purpose has been the investigation of the Mayor. It sets the TPS up for a much...

Even more evidence of @ejb__'s lazy ignorance is that it's the province that legislated an end to Sunday shopping bans.

Was wondering the same thing.

I recall those details were teased in the original Gawker piece "Rob Ford purchases his crack cocaine from a crew of Toronto drug dealers that service a veritable who's who of A-list...Torontonians? Torontites? Anyway, a lot of prominent people in Toronto purchase and enjoy crack and powder...

The Sun certainly has had a history of making Ford look better, but if the reporter was aware that a second video also contained a prominent judge, even the Sun wouldn't run the story they did.

Why bother goading if they have all their ducks in a row?

Will these interviews spook Ford, or embolden him with the knowledge that the police aren't receiving full cooperation from the 15 Windsor victims?

You could read the ITO, a primary document made by sworn officers that shows ford as much worse than a party boy with impulse problems. But you don't seem interested in that. You point out the conspiracy double standard. If the Ford camp didn't have a known history for using dirty tricks via...

You make a good point. Will disengage.

I would say your willingness (or ability) to look at the mountain of credible evidence that exposes Ford as a corrupt leader is what is superficial here.

So many choices to choose from. Low literacy rates A growing tendency towards belief in media conspiracy theories as a means to compensate for a lack of understanding of basic political, economic or social concepts Not all people make good decisions even when evidence is reliable and...

Was thinking the same thing.

First, you're relying on one poll with questionable methodology. Next, you're confusing approval rating with voter intention. Many agree with Ford's talking points (not aware that his record reflects failure to achieve his goals) and answer that they approve of his agenda. Also, ipsos...

63% of voters would not vote for him. The incumbent. Also, you're quoting Forum, which has a tendency to skew polls away from younger voter intentions.

The simplest answer is usually the correct one. In this case, they rarely speak of his accomplishments because he has so few, and what few he has to his name get drowned out by his unparalleled and unending shitstorm of incompetence, hypocrisy, bigotry and criminality.

Correction. He's attempting to shore up his base with the exodus of center-right voters post crack scandal. His desperate play, triple down on homophobia and appeal to Toronto's least educated, and least civic-minded voters, with the hope they will put him back in the chair until (he gets locked...

The evidence that culture or other types of nurture, have little to do with a persons sexual orientation is overwhelming. You are clearly masquerading your own homophobia behind the pretense that if homosexuality was merely some sort of social or cultural choice, it could be dismissed as...
