This stuff makes my hubby seeth....he's a consultant currently at TTC and half the people under him are on the list, many making more than him (he does crack the 100k, but then again, some of his admin assistants are almost on the list).

As for folks tonight saying Ford's drunk. While that's quite likely, being red and sweaty is not enough proof. One has to engage him in coversation to really figure it out.

As a retired Toronto Paramedic, Rob was never stingy with voting pay raises we deserved: “They put their lives on the line day in and day out and they don’t know if they are coming home to their families. It is hard to put a price tag on that job. They’re heroes, the men and women in EMS and fire and police are heroes.”

“If they’re going to get a bit more money for doing it – I have never had a person come up and say, “Rob, I object to paying Paramedics, Firefighters, or Police more money. I have no problem paying our Officers, or our Firefighters, or our Paramedics good money to do a job.”

Overheard while ordering a beer at the ACC: "Mayor Ford has been cut off, do not serve him any more alcohol".

In fairness though - the sunshine list includes overtime. So somebody in a role being paid hourly and earning much less can work a LOT and thus find themselves on that list. Doesn't necessarily mean they're "overpaid".

I put myself through post secondary by working in a factory... the guys that worked there made reasonable money but some of the older ones without wives or kids worked EVERY single overtime call that came their way. Bumped their overall salary far beyond their "base". They essentially traded their leisure time for it though.
 
The first comment on this pic on instagram is unreal. Classy guy that Rob.

"...I saw rob ford in a cab stuck at a red. I ran over and stuck my head in and snapped a pic. He was down for it. This other guy ran up and called him a piece of ...poop, and a f*** up. At which Rob calmly replied "well you're the load your mom should have swallowed." #classic #classy #ourmayor #toronto"

I read that when Webb Pierce was invited back to his hometown in Louisiana for a parade in his honour he had to be helped into the convertible. All during the parade, as people cheered and threw accolades his way, it is said that he kept sipping from his pint of bourbon, hardly aware of his surroundings. When the bottle was empty he is reported to have tossed it to the street, causing the spectators to scramble from the shards of broken glass. He was never invited back.
 
OT re Sunshine list, my hubby (and I) have nothing against those who deserve it or who do over time; his beef is mainly with idiots who really don't (deserve it or do anything close to over time).

So did Ford last the game?

That's true. Plus nights, weekends, stat holidays. I was even on "working quarantine" during SARS and made extra for that. Call-back, mandated OT ( when you are ordered to work end-of-shift OT ). You miss a lot of time with your kids as they grow up.

I can't believe the way he lets people touch him.

When I met our Chief, the Commissioner or the Metro Chairman it was like touching an Emperor.
