Rob Ford’s Found Poetry At a council debate about Uber, Rob Ford gives the world an accidental poem http://torontoist.com/2015/09/rob-fords-found-poetry/

Howdy folks, long-time lurker, first-time poster here -- this will likely be my only post on this thread ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you, animatronic, for your contributions to this thread.

I love that Dan Jacob's facebook profile picture is an action shot of him on the job. ... as a D.J. </personal-trivial-snipe>

That is indeed a fair point. It's also fair to say that the HHOF posting has the sad distinction of being a news item on a broad scale. The Buffalo News / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / Vancouver Sun don't care if RoFo was posted to the audit committee, but they will surely be reporting this...

Ah yes, that time that UT assumed the role of live-blogger/feed-aggregator for the debased events... http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/showthread.php/14268-Rob-Ford-s-Toronto?p=847514#post847514

Really? How could he possibly manage to screw that up?

I'm not a huge fan of hockey and much less a fan of the NHL, but in a weird way this is extremely distressing. After everything that has gone on, HOW ON EARTH IS THIS F*@&#G POSSIBLE?

100% this, over and over again. Streetcars slow your drive on St. Clair? Build your whole transit strategy around running them out of town. Hate paying a nickel for a bag even though it discourages packaging waste? NO NO NO I HATE PAYING THAT NICKEL. And on and on and on. "Ok Robbie, now think...

Lol -- it's absolutely hilarious that Peat has now written what is essentially the rebuttal to Worms' item, extensively quoting municipal law lawyer John Mascarin. "I am certain that if council decides to appoint there is a policy that dictates how the appointment process works and it most...

I think it's time for a quick reality check. If you told a friend who lived in a media-shielding bubble that a municipal councillor (one of forty-four) with some health problems managed to bring the entire town's media corps to the hospital's front step so they could run a live update on the...

Agreed, there's no doubt he has cancer.

Thank you, DFL, for your devestatingly succinct and on-target letter to members of the press. You have been doing great work lately.

The National Post has published a new story on "the three young people who were arrested last month in connection with the forcing of a 14-year-old into the sex trade." The three young people are Sage Finestone, Nicholas Faria, and Natasha Robataille and they "face numerous human trafficking...

Yeah, but you probably don't smoke weed all day every day.

I used to do contract work for a Canadian company that shared the same address for their US "operations". 4450 Witmer Industrial Estates is the address of a contract warehouse space called Freight Boy. The customer I used to do work for said it was sometimes cheaper on freight to have a...

-- Re: Tory won't help the Ford brothers -- As if Tory needs any other reason, Ford designated propogandist Neil Flagg has pivoted his "I Hate The War on Mayor Rob Ford" Facebook page from a general purpose attack page that targets all opponents of Ford to a straight-forward John Tory insult...
