I noticed that many Wikipedia pages associated with Rob Ford are semi-protected, such as Rob Ford (itself), Timeline of Rob Ford video scandal, Toronto, and List of mayors of Toronto (as well as Toronto Maple Leafs, CN Tower, and Canada).

Now it feels like the (early) morning after the party when the hard core partiers have left, and the place is trashed.
We are living in Mayor (in name only) Rob Ford's Toronto.
People are divided and set against each other.
Being trashy seems to be more valued than working hard.
Traffic/transit is still the number one issue. In fact, Rob Ford's dysfunctional personal problems could mirror Toronto's dysfunctional transportation network in some respects.

Where do we go from here?
How do we rebuild and heal as a city of 'two solitudes'.

Thank you. I blocked him when the best thing he could come up with was "f*ck him in the ear".

Hah well I guess you won't see this if I'm blocked but I never said fuck YOU in the ear. Or is it the profanity you have the issue with?

From the Sun:

“Do you want to stay or not?” Ford asked the group gathered for the last meeting of his full-sized mayor’s office staff, according to sources in the room.

“He said, ‘We’re in a war.’”

One of the junior staffers Ford wanted to keep stood up and told the embattled politician, “thank you very much, but no,” according to a source.

Mwahahahaha! Really does have a Downfall-ish air to it all, doesn't it?

Some Merry Pranksters have been editing them.

Right, and either Ford will do this? Take-out is king to Robbie.

This may sound housewife-stereotype sexist, but I really wonder what Renata's cooking skills are like...

Yes, those that have at least 10 edits in at least four days under their belt can edit semi-protected pages. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:SEMI

Really? Wouldn't the fact that it's submitted at a court hearing make it equivalent to a sworn statement, subject to purgery?

not to be overly pedantic, but the word you wanted there is perjury

purgery might be something His Rotundness could consider for his weight loss

Kingsway Fish and Chips for your west end fishly needs. McNie's on Burnamthorpe used to be great, but they've gone through too many changes of owner, sadly.

Black Cat on Avenue Road in North York. At least it was great 15 years ago, when I used to live near it.

OK, I take back my intimation that [Councillor John Parker] was in cahoots with the Mayor and Speaker, and insert instead the opinion that he's a DUMBASS.

he's my councillor, i've been watching him carefully for months, and he's doing a stellar job

he came back to council after the ttc meeting and not only voted on every motion, but voted 100% against ford

I don't think CT said the use of the logo was unauthorized did they? Pretty sure they didn't. All they said was that they did not place the ad or target the show. I'm sure their logo use was completely authorized.

Generally, a lot of these branded commodities, e.g. 'CLR', do a 'Sold At' or 'Only Available At These Fine Stores' thing at the end of the spot. Canadian Tire is often one of these. They get a free plug and the crap being sold gets a degree of 'legitimacy'. The fact they felt they needed to disassociate from the whole fiasco is significant. Sandy McTyre must've thrown his Tam O' Shanter at the TeeVee. And then got on the ol' handset to Rockwell Tools to voice his supreme displeasure in a frightening and burly brogue.

Really does have a Downfall-ish air to it all, doesn't it?

O.M.G. -- how have we not yet seen a Ford Downfall parody?!

Even better would be to loop in actual Ford recordings into the rant...

Rob Fordiot to staff: "We're in a war."?

I'm assuming he's referring to the coup d'état in Kuwait.

Man, that kid is fucked in the head. (Or ear maybe)

I believe him now when he says he hasn't done coke; it's clearly been PCP that he's been snorting.
