So, were they a precursor of Billboard Liberation Front? Same thing? Anyway, image led me to the site. Now in deep. Thanks. I think...
Edit: Watched the vid. Australia, late 70's-early 80s. Amazing.

In regards to the new thread title, Oh am I ever so glad that Rob Ford's vision of Toronto never has and never will come into existence.
Christine Elliot may have made a deal with DoFo. In exchange for him not running for CON leader, she may have said something like, you help me win the leadership, and I'll make sure you get the nomination for MP for Etobicoke, etc etc etc."Rob Ford's vision of Toronto never has and never will come into existence."
Doug was the only mayoral candidate out of 67 ( I believe that was the exact number ) who came close ( uncomfortably close ) to beating John Tory.
So, the question remains, without John Tory to stop Doug, can anyone else?
I'll avoid using the term "a heartbeat away". But, if something were to happen to JT, we could find ourselves in an election sooner than we think.
What Rob's health status will be for the 2018 is unknown, but Doug is more than ten years younger than JT. And from what I have read, is still enthusiastic about politics.

Just for fun, I looked up the Job Call for: 311 Contact Centre Services Representative
http://wx.toronto.ca/inter/hr/jobs....6fe0003ff434/288932ac191b3ff7852579280043192e
If Ford Nation can be contained to North Etobicoke, I'm ok with that:

The only time I pass through it is via the centre-core of the 401.

Rob must get someone else to use the computer, which is one of skills required for a 311 Contact Centre Services Representative. He uses hardcopies. Uses the computer monitor to tape photographs on.
Just go through this list of qualifications needed for that position, which Rob totally fails:
Okay, #2 (using the phone), he may qualify.
I think someone noted before that Rob isn't qualified for a 311 rep job.

ETA: Whatever Rob's "vision of Toronto" was, he and Ford Nation did have an impact on our city.
who?Anyone seen him doing anything at all since Tory's swearing-in?
Call centres are notorious for the amount of sheer abuse their employees are expected to endure from the general public and (more often than not) their supervisors.
I may have missed something, but it seems almost a week has passed and Doug has somehow managed to STFU. Anyone seen him doing anything at all since Tory's swearing-in?
