This! This is what I was talking about in my post yesterday about why having so many debates is so important (before the thread derailed into eating dogs and vegetarianism). Instead of having to show up in front of a group of voters interested in hearing about the finer points of Tory's plan...

I actually think the large number of debates has been a good thing. I'm frankly surprised at how many posters have been complaining about it. Because of the active debate schedule, we've been able to witness some really interesting discussions on very focused areas of interest - seniors, black...

He was also spotted by a TDSB candidate at a building in the area, so he definitely went after some higher volume attention-seeking as well. Tiffany Ford ‏@TiffanyFordTO It wasn't planned at all but I ended up canvassing the same building while #RobFord was. #janefinch 4:23 pm - 16 Oct 2014

I like your theory, and it's certainly consistent with the landline polls. But then why not campaign in Ward 2? Two birds with one stone and all that. Is it possible that after being mayor, Rob considers it beneath him to actively campaign for councillor?

Rob Ford campaigning at Jane and Finch?? So far he's been spotted "campaigning" in several places, but none of them appear to be Ward 2. On the night of one Ward 2 debate he went to the mayoral debate instead. He's so sure of winning he isn't even pretending to try to show up? How incredibly...

Also not accepted in WASPy social circles for much of the 20th century: Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Greeks, Italians, Chinese, Portuguese, Brazilians, the Irish, Roman Catholics, Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Hindus, Muslims, black people of any origin, and poor people. I can see why...

Does that help explain why a woman over 18 used the word "haters"?

Looks great for her age????

Could not agree more! The first provincial leader to propose a double whammy of ending the separate school system and getting rid of booze jail will have my vote, regardless of political stripe.

Sorry everyone. I cannot bring myself to watch the video. Is there some brave and kindly soul willing to report how exactly Doug's wife pronounces "Judaism"?

Oh fuck me, looks like I spoke too soon! Rob Ford actually called a presser to cover him voting. What a shameless famewhore. Stay tuned for Ford's next exciting media exclusives: "Rob Ford eats a burger" and "Rob Ford ties shoelaces"

Do we even know that Ford is still in hospital? I haven't seen anything at all about him. (I don't have cable though, so I might have missed any breathless CP24 coverage.)

Nicely called DeathSilver and Jimmi T! That was a really, really desperate ploy to get the media to show up. They obviously finally clued in that they couldn't announce the subway plan yet again, so they came up with this?? Unless they have some kind of policy plank to announce, I wonder...

Speaking of exploding with curiosity, it appears Rob Ford's second round of chemo has been anything but. It's all proven far less newsworthy than the first round. Apart from the inevitable fawning appearance of Joey Worms in 20's gangster drag, we haven't heard a peep from the media. Ford is...

David Socknacki. Ok, maybe not. But I do believe in sensible, affordable transit and I STILL think Transit City was brilliant. Designed by experts and completely implementable...until the Fords came along and ruined everything. So either Olivia or Ari. Olivia has been an enormous...

Ironically, has anyone else noticed that Chow's platform is the most fiscal responsible among the frontrunners?? The big ticket items proposed in this year's race are all transit projects, and yet the so-called tax and spend socialist is proposing the least expensive and most affordable plan of...

I know Kat. It is really hard to be picky about your employer. But that's where the whole systemic part of it comes in. It's NOT practical, because conditions don't give people who haven't won the race, gender, class jackpot all that much choice. But this brings me back to my original point...

Wheeeeeeee! I'm in. ETA: But if by some miracle of wtf Doug actually wins, we should probably make it the night after the election.
