The *rally* as such, perhaps; but the Layton-esque chalk-marking makes this a de facto 24-hour affair, now (at least for now, and against the grain of the rain, I suppose)

The rain cannot wash away Torontonians' hated of incompetence at the municipal level.

 

[Johnny Au]

No, that hatred will still be hanging in the air here in the morning--not going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

Regardless, Rob Ford must be kicked out in any possible way, even if he is forced.

 

[SunriseChampion]

Yeah, all jokes in the RoFo thread aside, I'm actually bringing a pitchfork.

Pitchforks and flashlights? (Lit torches might make some nervous. But then "flashlights" in Great Britain would be called "torches".) Feathers, without the tar?

 

[SunriseChampion]

Or I can easily turn my pitchfork into a pointy torch.

 

[W. K. Lis]

A politically correct angry mob?

Instead of...

they'll have...

forks...

torches (British for flashlights)...

and pillows (for the feathers)...

 

[SunriseChampion]

Oh, no....I'm bringing a pitchfork.

W. L.:

How Canadian of you

That would be pretty funny if that did happen. I could see that easily turning into a meme.

Wonder if there will still be a supply of chalk available at stores? For City Hall.

Who's been supplying the chalk at NPS. I used up the last piece of chalk last night. I couldn't even finish my drawing (I'm sure someone will)

According to Ford Nation, Faux News is run by evil communists, masquerading as conservatives.

By the way, the Rob Ford billboard makes me think that Ford Nation is targeting Christian fundamentalists to join their base.

 

[W. K. Lis]

Rob Ford said he'll be at the Remembrance Day ceremony. At Old City Hall? Oh, dear.

Please, if he does, just turn your backs on him if he speaks. No words, just turn your backs.

Will there be any speakers etc. at the rally? I went to the one in the summer and while 1000 people claimed via Facebook that they would show, the numbers were much lower and there was no organization...just people standing around holding signs and looking at each other, occasionally chanting. Would love to see this one be more successful.

Also at what time do you think we'll hear Ford on DMW's motion? If the meeting starts at 9:30, we should be able to watch/hear his response before the rally, correct?

 

[christiesplits]

Hope to see everyone there!

 

[SunriseChampion]

I can't make it.

Work + shit + fan + position of responsibility = at work til 5 all week + Saturday

This is typical of such rallies. All this talk about thousands, rather hundreds of people showing up, only to find a handful of individuals with pathetically made signs, chanting about and looking like fools. Mtown is a great example - all this talk before the rally and then bails last minute. Very typical of anti-Ford supporters. I`ll enjoy my bobble head, while you guys enjoy your little gathering in the cold.
