For mayor?

CP24 9:24am via TweetDeck
Ford says he received an endorsement from John Tory in 2010.

What the hell? This is the bombshell endorsement that Graeme thought was so clever? Figures.

Hey Doug, if endorsements don't matter and the only endorsement you need is from voters, what's the point of claiming Tory endorsed you ... in 2010, when you weren't running for mayor? Do you think he endorses you now? No? Then STFU.

When does the election prediction pool close? I want to see if there are other great minds...

Isn't Michael Ford running for trustee ? That is one of the nephews .

Liz, not much is known about Mikey other than photos and the fact that he changed his last name.

As you know, he was originally to have been a councillor, then got bumped down to trustee.

Do you think he makes a viable candidate for either position? Would you say Mikey is "on the ball"?

I don't believe he attended any candidates debates.

Doug Ford is now issuing a daily itinerary, which Rob Ford never did.

Of course, he only started doing it two weeks before the election.

Makes it easier for the reporters to show up for his useless pressers.

^ I agree.

A politician's itinerary AFTER the election is what's important.

 

[sno man]

The answer is Rob Ford.
Yep.

lol, well that ole Graeme, he's a sly one pulling the mediasheeps wool over our eyes, yup.. He's probably so pleased with himself he'll need a cigarette and a change of underwear.

That and they couldn't actually muster a single above pay grade endorsement is my take away..

I donated $100 to the Princess Margaret Hospital Lottery and I received the "Ticket To Win Your Dream Home" award- which, as we all know, is the highest accolade the Princess Margaret Hospital Lottery bestows upon its Princess Margaret Hospital Lottery contestants. This goes to show the high regard the Princess Margaret Hospital Lottery has for me.

Interesting that even though DoFo has donated his entire councilors salary to charities, none of it went to Rotary and they only got money from him that one time.

Chemo must have been very hard on Rob this time, he's still in the hospital. It's supposed to be 3 days of chemo, then home for 18 days, he stayed nearly a week last time IIRC, and this time even longer. Not looking good.

I suspect Ford is hospitalized longer than most chemo patients due to co-morbidity factors ... Certainly his obesity and quite likely some ongoing addiction issues.

Just a reminder to PM me your DoFo election % prediction. The pool closes at midnight on Wednesday, October 15th.

Has anybody come across a shred of evidence that Doug Ford actually did donate his city salary - even part of it - to any charity?

Lawn sign report from Ward 13.

I moved to this ward in the late 1970's from Ward 4. This is what I see on my neighbourhood walks.

Almost no mayoral signs seen. Saw a few for Ms. Chow.

What I did see were of lot to re-elect Councillor Doucette. Also, many "Save out Village" signs.

What this indicates to me, and from talking to neighbours, is that many in the area have very little interest in the other 240 square miles.

We have the subway and High Park. What most do not want is those cranes in the sky Doug keeps boasting about. NIMBY! ( There I said it. )

Perhaps that's why Doug got booed by the "ignorant" folks at the Ward 13 debate?

27% is the Keyes constant. What other outcome could there be?

I thought it was five days of chemo. Regardless, I agree with your assessment.

Unless it's been changed, it's 3 days of chemo and then an 18 day break. He must be having horrible side effects to be kept in hospital over a week. He probably has an enlarged liver from all the booze and it's making it much more difficult for his liver to process all the chemo being thrown at it. He's screwed,

"Ford is expected to start to undergo three days of chemotherapy in hospital in the next 48 hours. After 18 days, the chemotherapy cycle will be repeated and doctors will assess the response and next steps."
