Province vowing to fix laws governing towns, cities
When then-mayor Rob Ford (open Rob Ford's policard) was found to have overspent his legal 2010 campaign spending limit, Toronto’s compliance audit committee voted to do nothing. When former Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro was convicted of overspending his limit, and trying to cover that up, he was led away to jail in shackles.

It is not difficult, at city halls across Ontario, to find complaints about loopholes and contradictions in the provincial laws that govern both towns and cities and the conduct of their candidates and elected officials.
[...]
Toronto Councillor Maria Augimeri (open Maria Augimeri's policard) says unjust rules cost her about $300,000. That’s how much she personally spent in legal and other costs defending her narrow 2010 re-election victory after runner-up Gus Cusimano challenged in court.

Ford hosted a fundraiser to clear his ally Cusimano’s expenses not covered by the city, but Toronto’s integrity commissioner advised Augimeri no such fundraiser could be held for a councillor.

“So the sitting mayor was allowed to fundraise for his boy but I was left twisting in the wind,” said Augimeri, adding she was financially able to draw on family savings while others would have been forced to give up and concede office. “The province needs to make it a fairer playing field.”

Such calls have, for years, gone unheeded. That may be about to change.

As part of a periodic review, Ontario’s municipal affairs ministry is asking for input from members of the public and municipalities on possible legislative reform.
[...]
The deadline for Municipal Elections Act submissions is July 27. The ministry on Thursday extended the deadline for public feedback on the other laws to Oct. 31, to match municipalties’ submission deadlines.

So, after a couple of weeks of where-the hell-did-he-go, Rob Ford apparently walked to the Jays game on Friday, which in the past was pretty much guaranteed to create chaos on the street and in stands, and yet so far appears to have resulted in maybe three photos on Instagram (one of which was definately ironic.)

From this can we assume that his days of—as Doug would put it—being mobbed like a rock star wherever he goes have finally come to an end?

Or is it more of a testament to the fact that previous spectacles were most likely manufactured events, and that he has always been entirely capable of moving through this city without causing a scene?
 
i assumed it was a pan am pass, but you may be correct... if it was pan am related it would be multi-coloured, right? something more like this?...

That reminds me of some epic excuse-making on Ford's behalf that Isaw when the HOV lane issue came up:

He doesn't need to have others in the car to use the HOV lanes! He has a Pan Am pass!
-Um, wouldn't he need to be on the way to a Pan Am event then?
No, he can use it any time!
-Has anyone seen him at a Pan Am event yet?
No, but ...
-But he hates the Games!
...

I wouldn't put it past Ford to abuse the pass for the purpose of driving in the HOV lanes though.

They were always manufactured events, his entourage made sure the scripts were executed to a "T". It was the lone events that the real fun, i.e. Taste of The Danforth, happened; Rogue Robbie* lost too many votes.

Some probably argue that it was the "Mayor" aura, being a lowly "Councillor" just does not cut it, that may be true but I doubt it because the Fords, without Rogue Robbie*, don't like to leave anything to chance.

This is hysterical, Col. Flagg is a perfect blogger for TheRebel parody/satire website.

I Hate The War on Mayor Rob Ford
1 hr ·
Former CBC writer Stephen Marche continues his bizarre fixation on Toronto's former Mayor despite leaving the Toronto beat years ago and now writing for New York-based Esquire. Here's the fact: Rob Ford would NEVER cast aspersions on the distinguished military career of a former POW. Not now, not then. Not drunk, not sober. Not as Mayor, not as Councillor, not as civilian. There are two jackasses in this article: Donald Trump, and Stephen Marche. Rob Ford is a class act and Stephen Marche is sick.
