Thank you for your words of wisdom, but you forgot that today's RoFo talking points memo dictates mandatory use of the word "shenanigans". No gold star for you today.

I can't see this "One Toronto" approach working either, especially if it's something that aims to win with a warm Liberal Party dose of multicultural diversity, looks ad agency produced and focus-grouped, and gets praised for its message by the CBC, NOW, the Star, and the Twittersphere. Too much potential for those sympathetic to Ford's message to see "One Toronto" as the downtown elite asking the taxpayers to step back into line, quit acting uppity and adopt our proper tasteful values of tolerance and diversity.
Anyone good with video? Here's an idea for a grassroots negative campaign for Youtube:
Find a few examples of Ford saying "Anything else?"
Find a few examples of Ford running from the media, including the time he walks into the camera.
Then, using a combination of text and pictures, begin the retelling of all the Ford scandals, from the simple and stupid like the time he gave the finger to the mother in the next car, to the serious and dangerous, like the drunk driving or the associations with criminals.
You can also throw in there a few direct questions that Ford has never answered like, "MAYOR FORD, WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE THREE INDIVIDUALS, ONE LATER MURDERED, THE OTHER TWO ARRESTED?" or "MAYOR FORD, HAD YOU BEEN DRINKING BEFORE YOU DROVE YOURSELF TO THE TASTE OF THE DANFORTH?" or "MAYOR FORD, IS IT NOT GRAVY WHEN YOUR OFFICE STAFFERS SPEND CITY RESOURCES TO ASSIST YOUR FOOTBALL TEAM?" or "MAYOR FORD, WHAT DOES LONG-TIME FAMILY FRIEND DAVE PRICE DO IN YOUR OFFICE AND IS THIS WORTH $130,000 A YEAR SALARY?".
Between each Ford scandal or episode cut to him once again asking "Anything else?", so that it seems like he's asking for just what more he could have possibly done. The idea is to illustrate just how never-ending Ford screw-ups and scandals have been, will continue to be, and how significant and serious some of them have been.
Throw in the shots of him hiding and running from the media, making them more frequent as the video progresses.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the leftists are always immediately jumping to divisive partisan hate politics. They preach about positivity and "One Toronto" but they're the first ones diving into the mud to do hatchet jobs and smear hardworking men like Rob Ford.
If you watched the press conference, you notice how the spineless professional maggots operate.
Rob Ford was trying to get to Austin to bring more jobs back to Toronto but instead of reporting on the jobs or chasing after the real waste at City Hall like a $75,000 chair or unacceptable parking expenses, they went to his house to stalk his family, stalk his kids and stalk his friends. Absolutely no class.
They should be asking why the leftists at City Hall aren't going out and doing the same thing to build bridges with the private sector to drum up more business and more jobs for Toronto.
Just like he went to Chicago to bring jobs to Toronto? I have yet to see a single new job or policy change from that trip.
Or to Winnipeg to have a "meeting" with the mayor (he went to watch a football game)
It’s understandable when you see highly-skilled, 15-year homicide man Det.-Sgt. Gary Giroux handling the arrest of Ford pal Sandro Lisi.
Why him?
I put the question to Const. Wendy Drummond.
“You are right, it is due to his expertise and skill,” she said of Giroux.
Remember Gary just recently made an arrest in a homicide case with two female victims and now has a man before the courts on first-degree murder charges.
If something happens, we will cover it.
Either way, the mayor will always have an opportunity to tell his side of things in my column.
Yep, MISTER "I don't miss a day of work", or "I'm always ready to serve Toronto" is always ready to go on a "working vacation" to serve his city.
No wonder he flopped at working at Deco, and college, being an elected official...
CBC News has also learned that Lisi had been under surveillance for several months before his arrest, with police picking up conversations and encounters with several people — including the mayor.
The TD Centre was never owned by the Bronfman family. Phyllis Lambert (ne Bronfman) was influential in advising TD to choose Mies (her husband was chair of the TD board), but the TD centre was never owned by the family.
I believe that the chairs are not replica's as Mies was very intent on ensuring the purity of his visions even after he died. I believe there are stipulations on the number and size of the Poinsetta's for example.
Who needs work when you have daddy's money?

Still no evidence Ford has done anything illegal

There has also been a lot of behind the scenes — nudge, nudge, wink, wink — that something is coming down from Toronto Police.
