On the bright side, he couldn't fill the place. Gravy trail sorta derailed.

Him being friendly to developers? Yeah, unless it's in his ward like Humbertown. He like to talk the good talk, but when push comes to shove he is as much a NIMBY as anyone else. But of course, it's not like there is much happening in his ward now is there?

“Too big. Too dense. Too tall,†was the message coming from residents of Humber Valley Village as the council considered a proposal that would add 604 new residential units to the area, which is currently home to 1,600 dwellings.
"CLOSED BY ROB FORD" - the message on Fire Station 424 on Runnymede Road, which closes today.

The Fords live in Ward 4, and consider GLL a nuisance. Their attitude seems to be that it is their ward by rights. Both Doug and Rob Ford were outspoken regarding Humbertown. So was the actual Councillor, of course.
905ers are still giving him money. What a joke.
Please stop saying that like the 905 is some monolithic hive of Ford support.
The ones giving him money are almost exclusively Conservative Party members. Big donators are often Developers looking to get projects done in the city, and the smaller donators drunk on the Con KoolAid, are doing it (against their own best interest) to screw Toronto.
I'd be more concerned about Mammoliti filming people at Pride ... Not to get too off-topic, but Sotiropoulos seems like a one-issue candidate, fixating on one event outside the school year that the TDSB is associated with along with many other entities. I have not heard one word from him about anything related to education (except maybe 'My god, these other trustees are awful and they make me want to puke') and I suspect he is running interference for someone. Suddenly public nudity has become a dog-whistle for social conservatives and the Fordite trolls on Twitter are clamouring for the law regarding public nudity to be enforced at Pride. What gives?
Why would developers give him money this time? He's proven that he can't get anything done in council, he's useless to developers. That's why they're selling the bubbleheads and t-shirts
But look at all those cranes in the sky, right?
We know that the "1000" jobs are just another "Ford" number, however, my question is if the jobs in question are "new" jobs, and how many are filled by Torontonians.
I just find it interesting that they are blaming Ford, when, obviously, he wouldn't be solely responsible.I live in that Ward, so I'm sorry to see it go. But, there are already three other fire stations within a two kilometre radius of this firehouse.

We don’t always agree with the public sector labour leadership. And do you know what’s amazing? Sixty per cent of union members don’t agree with their leaders. On top of it, they don’t even want to belong to the union,

I wonder if this is the sign we have all been looking for (or at least me lol) when people start publically turning on him en masse.
It is easter, after all. If Ford plays Jesus, saving us all from the Roman elites, who will play Judas, or Pontius Pilate?
