My memory may be faulty, but doesn't DECO have its US operations in Chicago? He's probably just going to go hide out at someone's house for a couple of weeks.

Right around the corner from the Grand Hotel. When was Ford last there publicly?

Thank you for this. It's the best summary I've seen of how co-ops work. In any event, it's the smear that doesn't want to die, and it really should.

I'm taking it as such.

It's sort of a losing battle, though. No new co-ops are being created. They're sort of a relic of an earlier, more enlightened time in city planning. I don't think a new co-op has been created in this city since the early 1990s. FWIW, what I heard from a number of people who lived in Hazelburn...

I actually lived in Hazelburn Co-Op a number of years after Layton/Chow. I wish more people understood how Co-ops work, and I really wish there was more political will to create them. I just can't believe that, 25 years later, people still believe that Layton/Chow were living in subsidized...

Maybe it's time to start "Mayor Rob Ford's Toronto, part two" as a separate thread?

You can put me down for March 18.

It's a great neighbourhood with lots of young families. It give the appearance of being a bit rough around the edges but we've been here for four years and have no complaints. It's not perfect -- break-ins are not unheard of and there are some unsavoury elements hanging around. That said, we can...

Upper Beach and East York got walloped. Most people I know in the east end were without power last night -- only those on the same grid as East General are back up. We got lucky, somehow.

I don't know if anyone noticed that the graphic used on CNN yesterday cited October 31st as the polling date. I wouldn't take that as indicative of the current mood.

We all know the Fords don't read. A book deal would be the lowest of their priorities.

A friend of mine was at the protest and did manage to talk to her. She was very gracious and did say that she felt vindicated.

But the good thing about is that it's retrospective. It doesn't matter if he manages to clean up his act as it's his past actions that will be examined. I really wanted to see council take a stand, but I'm starting to think there's more value to the referral motion, given that the "censure"...

While I agree with this in principle, I do hope that if he does attend, that people recall the solemnity of the occasion. Agree with him or not, the point of the service is remembrance, not the immediate concerns of the day. It would be terribly disrespectful to our veterans if the the mayor was...

I agree. I know old Toronto money, and they would never have let their loose-canon spawn any where near public life. They'd also never be caught dead on CP24, airing their laundry. She screams new money to me.

Undoubtedly people have been sending the police every clip they've recorded of the mayor behaving badly over the last couple of years, just in case. I would guess that the police have seen lots of videos. My sense has been that video #2 is directly related to a criminal activity of some sort...

And/or likely, Muslim, unless he's holding a union rally in his living room.

When ever it was taken, it was warm enough for the person taking the video to be wearing shorts -- judging by their bare leg in the foreground of the first 10 - 15 s of the video. Either that, or that person's in their underwear, which doesn't bear thinking about. Honestly, I suspect this has...

Probably Ford's own house. And the video looks like it was recorded off of another phone.
