Right. I play piano, but I suppose I've never been one for slang or terminology!

Ever come across a sentence where you just straight-up have no idea what the person is saying, but you know that it's a correct sentence nonetheless?

A brief drive through Ward 3 this morning - no incumbent here, but exclusively the domain of Annette Hutcheon and John Tory. Not a single other sign was out for anyone except for two of those stupid "Anyone But Chow" signs. I'm sure it will be different on my way home though.

I wonder how many of those went up on public property vs private.

You both forget, Rob Ford is very, very stupid. There's a mild complement in there towards Warmington. Probably wants some exposure for that. I've said for ages that it should be Pruitt Taylor Vince!

Despite my political differences with him, John Hastings is a legitimate and generally respectable political figure. Eight years under Harris and Eves gives him a fair amount of political credibility.

That looks like a normal candid photo of him. He's always looked like garbage.

I'd really like to know how many people are supporting Tory because he's the front-runner. I'd love to know how Chow polls against Tory head-to-head. It's still insane to me that Chow is polling the same as Ford. It genuinely upsets me.

If he shows up looking OK, then he's a larger-than-life hero who can't be held down by anything. Icon to the people! If he shows up looking like hell, then even though he's going through a very difficult health crisis, he loves the people too much not to spend some face time with them. Icon...

Crazy motherfucker named Rob Ford, thinking he was Toronto's big lord...

I didn't follow the story much beyond "Dude got arrested, dude got un-arrested". What's the deal?

Reminds me of The Captain from How I Met Your Mother, and how his mouth was smiling but his eyes were always angry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFBTOzRj9Rc

Thanks! So the evidence, which would be the product of the warrant, could still be there, but the rest of the stuff is done. Not that I'm optimistic anyway.

Does "orders" refer to ITOs, to warrants, or to the evidence obtained from acting upon said warrants?

I completely understand. It's the fat-drinking at the end that really gets me though - I can't help but imagine myself in his position, and I imagine me drinking chicken fat, and the thought of the texture and the damage it would do to my body manifests itself as physical revulsion.

This story nauseates me. It makes me physically uncomfortable to read this.

I'm in the middle of ward 3 and got my Ford for Mayor flyer in my mailbox today, complete with Doug's horrifying visage. I promptly tore it up.

Yes. Winds are changing, but there is still considerable loyalty to him. One thing worth mentioning is that there's an enormous gulf between the level of information of UT forum readers and the level of information of blue-collar workers who may or may not pick up the 24H paper on their way...

I think she's said in the past that she has received death and rape threats.

Ah, I fell for it! WARMINGTON!!!!!
