Cue Fordzilla. And of course, this comes to mind:

A little off topic but this article in the Star about dumping of toxic dirt is interesting. Guess who is mentioned? Makes me wonder what happened to the dirt from the Pan Am Pool, which was built directly next to an old garbage dump. Tons of soil from that, and nobody knows where it went. IIRC GFL was also suing the City for extra money on the excavation of the pool and I just noticed from this article they were also responsible for the Athlete's Village dig.
"After an investigation, the ministry filed Environmental Protection Act charges against soil contractor Green For Life (the company is also Toronto’s garbage collector) and a soil broker called Earthworx. No one from Earthworx would comment.
GFL’s president and CEO, Patrick Dovigi, said his company was not to blame for the toxic soil on the sheep farm. He said another contractor dumped the bad soil. The case is still before the courts."
"Infrastructure Ontario said GFL started the village job on Oct. 16, 2011, taking 248,000 cubic metres (depending on soil density, that’s as much as 500,000 tonnes) to ministry-approved sites. The dirt was either tainted (with petroleum and metals) or needed extra tests to determine contamination levels, said an official from Infrastructure Ontario."
"Here’s the conundrum: Walker Environmental’s Mike Watt said GFL’s Dovigi told Walker it would get roughly 200,000 tonnes from the village dig. Instead, Watt said only 25,000 tonnes arrived at his landfills. In an interview, Dovigi said he strongly disputes those figures."

"If you pick up the telephone receiver in this town you may, or may not, get a dial tone. If you get on a subway you may, or may not, get stuck in a tunnel for an hour. The wall socket in your apartment may, or may not, contain electricity. The city's air may, or may not, be killing you. The only real sure thing in this town is that the firemen come when you pull down the handle on that red box." - Report From Engine Company 82.

This bears repeating.Lily Allen wrote this to celebrate the end of the Bush era. It could have been written for the back side of the ford era. Warning: contains really really appropriate profanity.

Are people confusing the Provisionals of the IRA with the above?

Back in the day, I'd see posts about him on Gawker that would mindlessly squee variations of, "Oh, he always looks like he's having such fun!" But these latest pics of Slob stumbling his way to polling stations couldn't be more different. He does not look well at all, and easily appears to be 20 years older than his actual age. Methinks the days of ego-boosting selfies - especially with club-going douchbags and bimbos half his age - are well and truly over. Awwww.

I don't see how that's relevant. There's the Provisional IRA and several other versions of the IRA name, but there doesn't ever seem to have been a group whose name contained the words People's and Republican with regard to Northern Ireland.

Let's hope that this bodes poorly for Doug.

No, All his trips to the polling stations appear to me to be about trying to chase that old high he would get from public adoration. Addiction to drugs, food and attention are not that different to the brain. The speculation that he hates his family is just stupid. They just can't provide his fix.

Good points. Also, mingling with the public probably helps take his mind off of cancer.

Synonym for one of the IRA 'splinter groups', the INLA, the Irish National Liberation Army. You can find it (People's Republican Army, PRA) referenced under same at these two links (thanks for querying - that was interesting reading. I had no idea so many independent groups with similar aims were operating there, as well as the IRA):
