I seriously don't make much of the 'approval rating goes up' poll. Something is either wrong with the methodology or people in general if 45% approve of the job he's doing and 60-70% think he should resign. The 15% overlap cannot exist. It just can't.

I'm sorry to be picking on you, but no. There are functional crack addicts, coke addicts, and alcoholics. They exist. They're among us. Obviously they're not as visible as other addicts, but that's by design. If nothing else, I hope that this whole circus affords people the opportunity to...

I'm astounded at how many people still believe that crack makes people thin. It doesn't. Crack literally never made one person on earth thin and please stop spreading this meme. The reason why crack addicts are often thin is because they're addicts, and usually impoverished. They have $10...

I'll take that bet. Someone who, from the surveillance report, never seems to leave the house without two bottles of cheap vodka has a problem, and a heavy one. I think he also does hard drugs but the booze is absolutely concerning as well.

I am willing to put large sums of money and perhaps my firstborn down that he will blame the media parasites at the Star, Globe, etc. The pinkos will certainly get a mention, but it's Daniel Dale and his merry band of socialists that will earn the vast majority of the Ford rage.

Back when they allowed political discussion (it's still a bit of a shithole), the Off-Topic forum on RedFlagDeals might qualify. They tend to skew pretty right but there isn't much there anymore. Outside of that I haven't seen much in the way of organized support for RoFo.

And even if a video IS produced, how do we know it's not an elaborate hoax, made on a soundstage, using actors? Gutter "jurrrrrnalism" at its finest, and proof of the ongoing media war against poor Shannon.

I agree with this. I think if they pay property taxes then they deserve a vote.

While I'm sure this is a contributing factor, I highly doubt his diet is any good either. In the past few months, his main associations with food establishments have been KFC, Mandarin, and Baskin Robbins.

I would also like to elect this person. Particularly someone who can ask the question, how can the mayor's office function exactly as normal with five less people? Were those five people...dare I say...g..g...g..gravy?

Remember what he and his entourage said about the many, many deputants during the Core Services Review? That they were just unemployed union-backed leftists who had all the time in the world to protest/complain while his real supporters were hardworking taxpayers with no time for such...

Doesn't Ford pride himself on having an incomprehensibly tiny office budget as it is? Would reducing it to zero really do much? Yeah reading back as well. Sorry for posting that. Dude sounds shit-your-pants crazy.

ah, ok. Got my hopes up for a minute there, heh.

To be fair I don't think even the most ardent anti-Ford person would ever expect things to get to this level. This isn't simple blundering or incompetence like we all expected from Rob and Doug. Sadly I think it'll be years before we find out the full, complete story of what's going on here...

Speaking personally, I have been against amalgamation from the beginning, and especially so under Miller. Not just because of differing priorities, but because the efficiencies supposedly gained from amalgamation haven't seemed to materialize. I chalked up Mel's term, for better or worse, as...

When the story *starts* with a mayor of a major city potentially smoking street drugs, there's not a heck of a long way to go to reach 'circus' I guess.

From a couple pages back (damn this thread moves fast)... From personal experience I can tell you that, if the people who viewed the video are correct, he is not smoking hash. The people who saw the video claim he lights the pipe from the bottom, and no human being on earth smokes hash that...

Maybe not even then. They'll deny up and down that it's Rob, then they'll say he never lied in his statement Friday since he used the present tense. They will use every possible excuse and lie before resigning. I would definitely like to see an audit of their hiring practices. There's...
