The original plan of Doug becoming premiere is probably shelved.

I don't think so....as I said before, I think the strategy behind Doug Ford running for mayor is a Ford belief the whole thing is win-win. He either wins the mayoralty or he parlays what he expects will be a solid second place showing into a run for the Ontario PC leadership.

(Just like John Tory did)

Not sure what it means exactly, but Bob and Doug ( McKenzie ) used it frequently. As in, "I horked a beer from your fridge."

It's a mispronounciation of "hawked." As one of the cub leaders told my group many years ago, "Bring a helmet. I don't care where you get it, even if you have to hawk it. Bring one, or you don't get to play." If memory serves, we were going to play hockey.

According to a release from the Chow campaign, Tory has pulled out of the @enzodimatteo-moderated TTC Riders debate at 5:00.

Tory pulling out of a debate? The Fordites will be all over that.

Strange response. Does not seem like a good strategy to me. Makes him appear week or not interested.

Yes it is strange, and wildly out of character, that rob has not posted pics of himself in his hospital bed, pouring over "important papers", or making phone calls. And not one selfie with a nurse, doctor, etc.? Unlike when he was in hospital for "asthma" related problems in August, 2012:

Gonna be grammatically pedantic here, but it's "poring over".

But anyhow, I agree with you. If the Ford were truly using this as a sympathy vote technique, I'm sure we'd see pics of Rob. I do suspect it's quite a bad state he's in, and if he's been using oxys recreationally, his tolerance for opiates is probably quite high. I think he's likely in a lot of pain and drugged beyond incoherence most of the time.

Of course I have no way of knowing, but Mikey ( even if he did speak ) does not strike me as the deep-thinker type. I could be wrong.

His old Facebook and Twitter seemed to indicate that.

The response from the Tory campaign. There is one at 5 PM today and another one at 7 PM. That is a lot of time spend debating.

Ford campaign spokesman says he "can't say at this point," if Doug Ford will have event Tuesday. Confirms Fordfest will be "rescheduled."

This sounds right.
 
You guys know that the sit-in twitter handle now is @ Dougfordmustgo, right? The old one is still being used for ward2 stuff.
 
"stay tuned for Councillors Karla, Krista, Kayla, Kara and Kyla Ford (Doug's wife and daughters), coming in 2018."

A comment on Wormington's story:

Officially Day One of the Doug Ford Campaign:

Agenda

1. Cancel participation in Ryerson debate.
2. Deny the Conflict of Interest story published in the Globe today.
3. Cancel press conference.
4. Cancel Ford Fest amid the conflict of interest allegations.

Worst start to a political campaign . . . . ever. lol

Hack, hawk, hock, hork I think in this case are all variations on the same word which is to expel mucus, phlegm, goo, etc.
