9:15 from the Etobicoke HQ

Based on Graeme's hyperbolic tweet from yesterday: I gotta go Mike Harris. Maybe the ghost of Jim Flaherty.

It's 640 ...Tory is a Socialist.. Only Doug can 'F' the poors like they need to be. Chow on 640 is to the left of Marx.. an online poll on 640 makes Forum look like StatsCan before Harper's cuts.

I think, based on handle and first six posts or so a friend of Lisa's. That's fine, won't press, carry on... Good timing for the Randy 101 backgrounder just before The G&M article. Don't be afraid to share with the class again.

I'd like to think pretty much everyone here gets pretty much any Looney Tunes reference.

Already have the print script with the Star... 7 day even. I'll check G&M options.

That's supposed to be an easy one. As a "comfortable" (read WAY south on the food chain, from Tory, but doing okay) white guy, the answer should be: "HELL YEA, there is white privilege, but I'm gonna use mine to try to level the playing field."

My wife and I have been kicking around a digital subscription, this story has tipped that to getting.

Indeed. Thank You, Robin For the story we are about to consume, For those who are here To share these blessings , For the generosity of our UT hosts That make this possible. Bless those who are here And those who are in our hearts, And all those who are not As fortunate on this day. Amen.

Now we know what Robin has been up too... http://www.theglobeandmail.com//news/toronto/doug-ford-at-deco/article21067584/?cmpid=rss1&click=sf_globe Oh my.. ETA: Df&B beat me clean. Either way, EVERYONE READ THIS G&M LINK.

I think you are right, I might be giving them too much credit here, but I wonder if the whole thing was an effort to derail the debate to the point that it didn't happen at all. Now, if Doug were a man of his word, he'd be out and stay out, which he should do because he has no plan for priority...

I picture him as the "coupla pops" kind of guy, maybe get all the way through a six pack if the west coast game is pretty good. But I could see him experimenting a little for grief management after Rose died. I don't see it being an ongoing thing. I'd imagine Rose would have killed him if he...

Also the reason he says the bit was cut from the Fifth Estate segment was that he had the Judge's title wrong. Seems easy enough to do.

The "the largest police corruption case in Canadian history" was presided over by a woman (but I think I remember one of the cops wives being a lawyer/judge too... still looking for that)

I think he's officially the Communications Director, same as he had been for Rob. But that does bring up a good question, who is Doug's Camping Manager?

Not only is Doug not up to the challenge of healing the city, I would suggest he's picked right up where Rob left off, actively working to encourage the divide. And that works both ways, getting the core angry with the burbs and the burbs angry at the core, both have the same divisive effect. To...

I'm not especially a math or stats guy, but dayum that last Forum poll was shaky enough for *me* to spot the FU without even getting that far into it. Other than cost, which can't be much, why would they drop the quicky income sorting question... Maybe enough not answering it to make it's result...

Doug doesn't get twitchy, but his voice changes. He's practised the hell out of the not twitching thing, probably where the no blinking thing comes from. But his voice still goes up, it's a little hard to notice, because he lies so frequently, but it goes up...
