And we thought that Toronto couldn't look any more foolish to the rest of the planet....

Musical municipal chairs or something like that.

I wonder how Mikey now feels about all this?

He's wearing the first genuine smile that has appeared on his face in months.

Rob is far less dangerous as a councillor. It also keeps him in the public eye to go down in flames one way or another.

Doug will lose the election handily.

This is not ideal but it's not the worst.

Also this was totally planned, we've all been had.

Agree. Agree. Agree. Agree.

Cue "OMG IT'S BENIGN! And my sudden, unbearable pain has now disappeared completely. IT'S A MIRACLE!! And because I'm so dedicated to the taxpayers of Ward 2, I'm going to wait until AFTER the election to have the surgery."

So many things to say about this absurd clusterfuck... I'm just at a total loss

Auditor Ken Froese says Doug Ford could use Rob Ford's materials - FORD FOR MAYOR signs, etc. - if his campaign bought them at market value.

This is just pathetic for Toronto. Makes me ashamed...

Michal Ford is running for trustee. And, hey, Ron Moeser is running for reelection, too.

Harmless enough office I suppose.

Every lawyer in Ontario is a commissioner for oaths and a notary. There are, literally, 1,000s of lawyers within a 1 km radius of CH - and some at CH (City Solicitor's office).

Like, right next door at Osgoode Hall?

Rob's statement. Sheesh. The hectic schedule? Yeah, we all saw how he handled that when not ill. He gave it his all? All of his what? Drunken stupors? Crack-induced rants?

Was Mama at the hospital with a typewriter to tap out that piece of claptrap?

Wow - a kid just out of High School running for School Trustee? This family has to be defeated.

Daniel Dale already posted about Doug's drug activity.

You simply couldn't make this stuff up. Incredible. What the hell has happened to my city? It's been highjacked by goons.

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

I am really curious how this will poll over the weekend.

Lenser:

The behaviour exhibited thus far by his family is one that not only knows the rules, but knows how to game them.

It might just be a case of "We've got all these signs and t-shirts anyway, so why not?"

Except that would probably be illegal, no? They'd be seen as a Rob Ford campaign expense, and this can't be transferred over to Doug.

My husband just texted me: If Doug wins, we're moving to Uxbridge.

The most embarrassing thing is the media is going to be able to report that Rob Ford, the crack smoking mayor of Toronto, has been reelected by the people of this city. While the article will clarify that it is only the people of his ward, the headlines will make the rest of us look like idiots.
