^I think it's just a reference to the fact that the named hotel is next door to Don Bosco and thus a very short crack-addled stumble from the Windsor road crackhouse.

Actually Doug help to expand the company, and was the person behind the move into the USA.
Would you sign your real name to that statement?Raw "expansion" of a company and the actual growth behind the smoke and mirrors is two different things--just because Deco's expanded abroad doesn't mean it's actually healthier than when it was more squarely Toronto-based. And there's plenty of cases of Canadian companies which've expanded into the States and fallen flat on their faces--not that Deco's one of them; but I don't think it's nearly the "player" abroad that the Fords are making it out to be.
Or come to think of it, there may be any number of subtexts behind "Deco abroad"--money laundering, industrial or ethics violations; who knows, maybe even drug running. Of course, we're now getting into the *really* paranoid sumthin's-up speculation--but, still. It's like a big big Palm Springs mansion can be a symbol of "we made it", or a foreshadowing of a flimsy house of cards falling down...

What's up with all this "would you sign this with your real name" crap, the only ones that would not stand behind what they say are trolls. And I think we know they are by now.
Ah, future bilger. just running your mouth as usual, and as clueless as ever.
and here he is again, with his trademark combo of immature hyperbole, and vaguely insulting inferences relating to 'success', 'class', 'status' etc. and implying that anyone who disagrees with him is a unsuccessful bike-riding loser.
Soon he will be lying again about what kind of car he drives. clearly a guy in the grip of feelings of deep inadequacy.
The trolls are the clowns make all sorts of conspiracy theories up, simply because they do not like the mayor of Toronto. We have ppl make the ridiculous claims of DECO being a front for criminal activity, the Ford's having contacts to the Mob etc etc. But no, they aren't trolls.... the "trolls" are the ones that call them out on this B.S.
You keep digging up old posts. You need a life. I honestly feel sorry for some of you in here.
Btw, Rob Ford is STILL mayor.... NO video has surfaced... your anti-Ford conspiracy theories are getting whackier.... and there is no candidate on the "left" that has a hope in hell of beating Ford.
You will get Ford for at least another term.
For my part, I haven't been speculating that Deco is a sham operation fronting for some crime like drug-running or money-laundering. If they run three shifts they must have trade as a real business. I'd guess they're like a third-tier supplier to household consumables companies that require large quantities and that provides a substantial cash-flow. But it must be a competitive business, both from domestic and international competitors. Their success from the very start would be dependent on personal relationships, obtaining and maintaining contracts. Probably true for most family businesses that start from the back of a car and end up with a couple hundred employees. I'd simply be curious to know the details behind their business relationships. Everything I know about the Fords says that they believe rules are for other people. And they've kept some creepy company. Maybe Deco isn't that wildly successful or secure a company. They do okay, but perhaps the idea that the family are flush several times over grows from a combination of mythmaking and everyday Ford boastfulness.
Maybe some of us believe, whatever our personal situations, in a form of meritocracy where actual competency and dedication are rewarded, not bluster, lies and targeting. Where inarticulate crackheads who fail to show up for work and who are inattentive to detail don't become leaders of major cities. Funny how the contrarian/libertarian approach here is all about protecting power and privilege, of claiming the right of those who have to have more, to call all the shots.
Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi is working so hard with the flood situation in Calgary, that citizens have taken to Twitter to demand that he nap. Has anyone ever told Mayor Ford to stop working so hard? I guess he could be working hard--but we never know where he is or what he's doing.
Calgary Flooding 2013: Naheed Nenshi And Why He Must Nap
Sample tweets:
“Montreal mayor: arrested; Toronto mayor: disgraced; #Calgary mayor: awake for 40 hours doing his job. #nap4nenshi”
You know you have a amazing mayor when... citizens are telling them to take a break! Thank you @nenshi! #nap4nenshi #yyc
#nap4nenshi - Love it! @nenshi - listen to your citizens. Please take a bit of a rest - you look exhausted! xo
Love it. #nap4nenshi - we have a very cool mayor.
Nenshi's own tweet: And with that, a day that started 43 hours ago comes to a close. It included 1 plane, 2 helicopters and 3:45 am and 8:30 pm press briefings
