Listening to these callers on the AM Talk Radio show with Oakley leaves me totally bewildered.

One old woman remarked, "If I had to deal with the lefties every day I'd be drunk a too! I support you!"

My basic knowledge of psychology leads me to the conclusion that people like that are nothing short of brain-damaged.

This is without mentioning that my schooling in poli sci at Carleton tells me that this sort of hyper-partisan thinking leads to authoritarianism and that "left vs right" is a false dichotomy where REASONABLE people are involved.

That cover is gold. That's exactly what Ford is doing. "FUCK YOU TORONTO!"

Tom Beyer.

Yup, that cover says it all.....unfortunately.

Just makes one want to go "for a walk" with the bastard, if you know what I mean.

I wonder if anything is brewing. Ford is still in his office at this late hour. Just saw these tweets from NOW reporter

Ben Spurr ‏@BenSpurr 8m
Mayor's aide just led a man in a trench coat who I didn't recognize into the mayor's office.

Ben Spurr ‏@BenSpurr 8m
Ford's chief of staff just joined them.

Trench coat guy is the lawyer. He was there yesterday in his trench coat too.

Parker - I typed the below prior to your apology; thank you for being a reasonable and awesome person.

For the sake of not wasting the words, and for the love of hearing (?) myself speak, I'd ask those of us non-UT-regulars to take a moment to consider the perspective of the person you're responding to, and the arena where these comments are being made.

There are a number of people, myself included, who only post in this thread. The whole discussion of the Fords' mess that occurs here is a distraction from what this forum is normally devoted to. UT is a place where people discuss the finer points of architectural development in this city; the beauty of sustainable development in Canada's largest urban centre; the value and evolution of modern buildings the world over; etc. While this thread is a huge draw, we are all fortunate that we can participate in this discussion in a place that is devoted to something else.

I think it's important we all recognize that there are rules for this unique place, and that many of us (and the discussion itself) is a departure from what this forum is normally about. You wouldn't find a bunch of people off the street crashing a cocktail party devoted to urban development just to yell and swear about the mayor. People may discuss the Fords at a party like this, but they'd conduct themselves in the way they normally do at a party like that.

I'd suggest we all appreciate the context of this discussion, and conduct ourselves accordingly.

This is one of the most entitled, snobby things I have ever read.

Hahaaa.....quelle désastre! These covers are awesome and very apt.

I coworker said his cousin was going to view the videos at a city councilor's house tonight. I've known him for years, he's a senior editor at a major website, and I've never known him to be anything but honest. He was taking to the lead editor about it, I don't see him making it up. Trust me, I'll be asking for details first thing tomorrow.

He's not allowed a copy, just to watch it with a select few. If it's true, it won't be long.

Any update on this?

 

[heywriterboy]

This is one of the most entitled, snobby things I have ever read.

You must be absolutely delightful at a party.

I thought it was wonderfully kind, contextually on point, and an example of exactly the kind of comity we sorely wish would return to our civic space.

On CBC just now: Rumour around Dixon is: someone is shopping around a THIRD video. CBC hasn't been able to confirm yet #TOpoli

CBC reported that police are aware of the third video. Also, kinda funny to see CBC reporting today, as if they had a new revelation, that another staffer was seen meeting with Lisi. Yes, we already knew that since last Thursday when the ITO was released. It was Tom Beyer.
