So the circus will be over by mid-week and then the city can declare the seat vacant either at the end of this month or in early May. Then there is a 60-day period for council to announce whether there will be a by-election or an appointment. With Rob gone, Doug is considerably weakened. Over these next two or three months, does Doug have much remaining cred in terms of keeping his gob in front of the media? What's a wingman without a pilot?

Hopefully they will take advantage of the 2 meeting grace period. The longer they wait the more ridiculous doug looks for trying to run. My money is still on Mikey though.

Yeah, she posted that she was more interested in international politics. And she was so articulate when she wrote that.

To quote from the post which mentioned that Renata posting...

http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/rob-fords-toronto.14268/page-7376#post-1097838

On the subject of Renata (and this is what prompted me to finally sign up here), I was on Facebook earlier this morning, and was looking through the "what's trending" page on there with Rob Ford posts. She posted this:

"Rob and myself fell in love thru politics I was more into international politics and my husband was into Canadain politics.we believe in being trustworthy and work for the people not the opposite. The media John Tory and Ms. Wynne weré drove us to work so hard for the people where they are sneaky. He was a honest politician." Here's where I saw it (scroll down to see it) https://www.facebook.com/topic/Rob-...ce=whfrt&position=1&trqid=6266038289714555671

So, let the drunken-stuporette articulation skills speak for itself.

And yeah, I, too, was thinking of "international politics" in terms of whatever Brejnak kitchen-table blather about Poland over time.

And come to think of it, Polish politics over the past generation has been defined by its own RoFoDoFo combo: the Kaczynski twins (and just as in Toronto, one of the pair's now dead)

Whose legacy I can see Renata (and her family) supporting, since their cause is like Ford Nation drenched in kapusta: anti-elite right-wing ultra-nationalism that's Proudly Nationalist and Anti-Communist, fighting or persecuting scourges ranging from homosexuality to Islam, trying to meddle with parliamentary laws in a way worthy of DoFo, etc...

And like most ppl these days, probably typed on her iphone on the way to pick up the kids.

I think Adma needs to go to the wake: he needs closure.

The Fords put Tory in a horrible position. If he had said no to their request, he would have appeared to be cold and if he agreed, people like us would be furious. The Fords should never have asked, but as we know, they have zero class.

Actually, I'm finding myself backhandedly willing to go along with Tory's decision, on "display it out in the open and let the raw Ford bozodom spectacle speak for itself" grounds. It's in the same way that all these memorial gestures thus far--condolence book, chalking, Douglas Ford Park memorializing--have turned out much more underwhelming or even downright tatty than was bargained for; and not even endless CP24 or CFRB coverage can make that dog hunt...

The Ford Family has produced a video. It uses the song Puffy produced to note the passing of Notorious B.I.G.

Which was a sampled paraphrase of the Police's "Every Breath You Take"; with kinda befits the "Men's Rights" wing of Ford Nationalism...

Terrific "worst brother ever" paragraph here

I later sent the photo to Doug and Rob. For the next year or so, whenever I walked by the two of them, Doug would tease his brother: “There’s your girlfriend!” Sometimes, Rob looked embarrassed. More often, he seemed irritated. He never addressed me.

I do seem to recall, within a different long-ago context in UT, someone outing you as a drug dealer. Maybe (or not) that was vicious slander and untruth; but somehow, your Ford support lends implicit credence to that possibility.

ETA: texting while driving? Oh dear.

Doug truly is a goon - what's with the funeral promo tour? Have the other councilors heard that they're expected to walk en masse to St. James? Are they going to walk behind the casket as Prince Charles and his sons did behind Princess Diana? For all their promotion of Rob Ford as the "common man" they seem to want to elevate him wayyyy above his "station". It' effin ridiculous.

Doubt very much council was aware of the funeral march to the church.
I wonder if this just sweet revenge, these are the same councilors who stripped him of most of his powers. Karma Ford style

Heard about it? Mammo is already elbowing his way to the front!

Adma: Yes I'm a drug dealer: I *push* renderporn.

You buying?

 

[Yaitsme]

By international politics, I suspect she follows Polish news more closely than Toronto news. Perhaps she also has better grammatical skills in Polish than English?

Cowboylogic: Is your first name Doug?

I thought so too. Dougie made some statements today that echoed this place.

I'm sure he checks for heads up info that he will ignore as he continues on his quest to rule the world like the brain only well... No brains.

Wed, 30 Mar A mix of sun and cloud. High 10.

And Council on Thursday - a busy week that just keeps getting better.

 

[riffraff]

All the memories are kind of retraumatizing so I'm trying to look Fordward.

I'm working on a platform for Doug to run on. Your input would be welcome.

So far I've got:

1. Casinos (Etobicoke deserves Casinos)

2. Monorails (not LRTs)

3. Yuuge Ferris Wheels (everyone deserves Ferris Wheels)

That's it. Even Dougie Jr Jr could canvas Ward 2 on that.

To the Ford supporters who post on here: look up what gaslighting is. You are a victim of it.

Well, we mustn't forget this:

But he still didn’t seem to know that the SRT ran in it's own right of way.
