The media have been very quiet about this. Maybe because it's a suicide? Or maybe because they just don't care?

probably because they don't have any details, so not much of a story

but now that Rob's staff have tweeted, something will break

i noticed Jude MacDonald (not sure if she's still active here on UT) has suggested on twitter a get-together to celebrate life -- https://twitter.com/judemacdonald/status/700385747266727937

Any word from Tory? Graeme had a special level of hate for him.

Did he? He's going to say something pretty neutral though, if anything.

Maybe because aside from a few mentions in the Star he didn't actually have much of a profile. The only picture I've ever seen of him has his face obscured by the phone he's using to take pictures of Ford opponents in council chambers. I've already seen a few reports online that use Tom Beyer's photo instead ...

I'm not sure Doug Ford qualifies as a leader ... or a speaker.

Unemployed politician, sure.

That is a very white crowd...

Yeah, he was better known to the Twitter crowd and mostly the anti-Ford people.

The website actually advertises nine speakers and leads with the Hon. Peter McKay, PC, QC (not pictured here), but I guess Doug is a bigger draw among their target demographic.

Incidently, of the eight people in this ad, Doug is the only one who lost their most recent election.

And the only one to enrich his resume by mentioning the political careers of his dad and brother. What were MacKay, Clement, Brown and Bernier thinking?

The Cons must be keeping him in reserve in case they decide to go full Trump.

IIRC the maximum owing before your card is "invalid" is $20, so it would cost more to collect than is owing. It's just another example of penny wise, pound foolish. Where do we find these guys?

Surprised they didn't propose sending out the cops to collect outstanding fines as part of their Community Engagement initiatives.

Be careful. Trump just turned on the Pope. See link.

Trump calls Pope’s questioning of his faith over border wall ‘disgraceful’

Trump claimed the Pope’s a ‘pawn’ for Mexico after Francis said that anyone who wants to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border isn’t Christian.

It's more like those billionaires who play astronaut by buying a seat on a Soyuz.

Councillor Rob Ford
6 hrs ·

I'm very sad to learn of the passing of former staffer Graeme McEachern. He was a great man, loyal, funny, and loved helping the people of Toronto.

Many of you may have known Graeme as the front face of the Mayor's Office, as he worked there as my receptionist. He was also a part of my Ward 2 team until his decision to leave last year, and worked extensively with helping the residents of Ward 2, and Toronto at large.

Graeme was incredibly hard working, but always up for a good laugh, especially at the expense of the political commentary taking place under the ‪#‎ToPoli‬ thread.

Please join me in sending our thoughts and prayers to his family and friends at this difficult time.
