Poor Marcus Gee. He is at a restaurant where Doug Ford is speaking. I don't know why Doug is there, but if you want to read all about it:

Among the gems:
Doug Ford is telling the crowd about the Ford family and its values.
Doug says his father came from nothing and was "two steps right of Attila the Hun." Used to rant against Bob Rae on the TV.
Doug Ford says he and Rob came to office and found city hall "spending like drunken sailors."
Doug Ford says the Fords never said they were going to fire 100,000 people -- a little dig at Hudak.
"We have froze all sole-source deals" - Doug Ford
How can Rob still be at 27 pc in the polls despite everything -- because Rob himself would go help fix your potholes, says Doug.
"We have subways going to Scarborough," boasts D. Ford, and can have lots elsewhere
Doug says a Scarborough LRT would be like the Flyer -- the old roller-coaster at the Ex.
Doug says pension funds and other investors are dying to build subways for us
Doug would like to bring in a strong mayor system for Toronto. The past four years are a pretty good answer to that.
Doug says the Toronto Star wants to "kill us." Politically, he means.
The city is booming under this administration, sayeth Doug.
Rob Ford has gone from a 52 waist to a 44, says Doug, saying he went to see Rob and he "looks good"
"He never missed a day of work," claims Doug of Rob.
People of Scarborough don't want LRTs ripping up their streets, says Doug.
Doug says "no one can buy us" -- about Deco.
When Doug says the Fords, like the Jackmans, give back to the public, a listener says YOU are not the Jackmans.
"No one has serviced the poor people more than Rob Ford has," says Doug. Yes, he said serviced.
"He wasn't honest with the people about his personal life," admits Doug.
"If you want to see skyrocket taxes, vote for Olivia Chow," says Doug.
