Is it 100% confirmed Rob was buried today? I have a feeling Doug might trot out the casket in 2018 when he launches his Mayoral campaign.

Most critiques of Ford on this site revolve around his own words and deeds. They are his legacy, and should not be whitewashed because of notions of politeness. Ford had no qualms about dividing the people of this city for his own benefit. Demanding that his critics censor themselves while his...

Rob Ford may have died yesterday, but Ford Nation has been on life support for a little while now. During the federal election, Harper's desperate stump with the Fords didn't rally votes for the conservatives. Quite the opposite - it basically gift wrapped a Toronto sweep for the Liberals, and...

It's not sitting well with me that Ford will lie in repose in city hall. My letter to the Mayor (FWIW): I am writing you today to express my displeasure that the city is allowing Rob Ford's body to lie in repose in City Hall. Rob Ford was an unrepentant racist, sexist and homophobe who abused...

Ford was an unrepentant bigot, a sexist, racist homophobe who cultivated ties to criminals and had a preference to skip work to get high and drink in school yards rather than be the Mayor of the city "he loved so much." He was a pathological liar. He used bully tactics to silence his critics...

...hidden in an Esso washroom somewhere in etobicoke.

One of the candidates for Mayor of Vancouver. Still 'udderly' better than Ford.

I'm not sure the gloom is justified. If Tea Party politics were the norm here in Canada, Doug would have won. Ford Nation seems formidable, but it is also stagnant. Unlike 2010, Ford lost almost all support in Old Toronto. Rob Ford had respectable numbers in many downtown ridings in 2010. He...

For sure!

Doug Ford's counter to allegations he was a drug wholesaler in high school. 'I tried drugs in high school.' Ah yes, who didn't experiment with setting up a drug wholesaling operation when they were in a teen?

Council will temper the agenda of Tory in the same way it did with Ford. The risk in voting non strategically this year is allowing the Fords to remain in power. They would choose a new Police Chief! This alone should scare the hell out of anyone who would risk a Doug Ford vote split victory in...

There is a certain wonderfulness to how quickly a Ford campaign strategy shift will be undermined by a Ford lashing out wildly at the slightest hint of criticism. Witness yesterday's presser where Doug pivoted towards making a DRL his transit priority, sparking discussions that his campaign...

I'd be interested if it corroborates the rumour I heard that he took a sizable sum of money out of Deco to suppress the first crack video. (also of interest if this is true, how this money was used)

He's a very impressive candidate running in a ward that isn't used to his caliber of councillor. I hope he makes a strong push and at the very least, gives the Fords a scare about their so-called dynasty. It will be tough though, as he'll be trying to persuade voters who would blindly elect a 20...

One private "hospital" is the Medcan Clinic, frequented by many a Bay St exec.

If Rob were to drop out and Doug step in, the race could become interesting again. I'd be shocked if Doug would poll as well as his brother, sympathy votes notwithstanding. If Doug were to drop to (a hopefully distant) third could significantly change things for Tory, who might lose some of...

Only Toronto TV journalists would consider it unprofessional to ask a convicted rapist about the impact his rape history might have on the mayor he endorsed. Anyone on this email chain can fuck off.

So, there were a lot of peeps hinting big things might be about to happen soon. Was the globe story on Apollo and expropriation one of those impending events?

Don Peat with a brief story on Brazen 2. Police confirm it the investigation of the Mayor is still active. Perhaps a reason for some optimism? http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2014/09/04/21919251.html
