    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I have the responsibility of chairing a resident-owned corporation that governs a small apartment building in the city -- sort of condo, but under a different Ontario statute. I use Cannon's Rules of Order, and have studied it thoroughly, along with our own bylaws and the applicable statute...

    He wrote a column explaining how $196,000 a year (after paying the mortgage on the gigasmic house, fuelling the luxury SUVs, stocking up on the Dom Perignon Brut, having the silk drapes dry-cleaned, etc.) left a person feeling positively poverty-stricken...

    <pedantic correction> "Rob Ford with drawl" was evident during all those surreptitious, slurred recordings. Rob Ford withdrawal is what the forum members are now experiencing. Please include the 'a'.</pedantic correction>

    Yeah, Andrew Scheer will teach her how to hold the pose long enough that the photog can get his horizon level.

    Tory just appointed Nunziata as Speaker and put Mammoliti on Licences and Standards committee. He supports the insane billion-dollar Scarborough stubway, doesn't have any enthusiasm for LRT, and appointed no-one from the core nor anyone progressive to the executive, so we already have a deeply...

    Washington Post Style Invitational Honorary Mention, in a contest to caption a cartoon. The drawing shows a Vanna-White type in evening gown showing off a car placed upside-down on a pedestal: "Introducing the car with an extra strong roof, internal roll bars and self-sealing cup holders so you...

    Minor correction: according to earlier posts (Anna, IIRC), Randy got 15 days behind bars for the kidnapping event. As for COI Act updates, Goldsbie tweets: "...Which would be a far more significant development if the paper hadn't reported the exact same thing two years ago...

    And their list of supporters keeps on growing. My office-mate just signed up Bashar al-Assad and Jian Ghomeshi as volunteers.

    2/3 for me; -Olivia, +Matlow, +Laskin I think Tory will be bad for the city. He won't reverse the insane Scarborough subway, so there's a billion wasted. He'll focus on BrainFartTrack that will take years longer than he says, at far greater cost, won't solve the problems and will totally...

    In country-wide elections, in both the US and Canada, you would start getting results in the western time zones after the eastern time zone polls closed and counting could start. (Although it's still technically illegal in Canada to report them in any region where polls have not closed.) But...

    I'm not a lawyer, but I doubt that by-law officers would be the ones to enforce Provincial Statutes. TPS, I think, are tasked with enforcing provincial and criminal laws and handing apprehended persons over to the justice system for sorting into the appropriate courtroom. At any rate, the...
