I still think that "Ford Follies" is best.

"Fords Follies", we need to be inclusive.

How about Fords' Disingenuousities

Fine with me but I doubt the site owners would want to sacrifice the page views closing it. It's still their most active topic.

The people that want to close the thread aren't contributors.

Is it even possible to close a thread? I know the site owners definitely wouldn't want to delete it entirely. They make money per page view.

It's a bit cumbersome, but how about "It's what Rob would have wanted." because we're sure going to be hearing that a lot over the next few years, whether or not Doug imposes himself on Scarborough.

Awesome! I support this. Is there a way to post a poll?

So should we rename the thread "Doug Ford's Scarborough"?

• The Ward 2 by-election
• The Scarborough by-election
• Sandro Lisi's trial
• Post-mortem "revelations" from friends and foes

Agreed that all this Renata stuff is straying too far from the intent of the thread, but there is a lot of relevant political material still to come.

In all seriousness, "Rob Ford's Toronto" remains the perfect name for this thread, since 30-odd percent of people in this city continue to see Toronto through his strange, distorted lens.

The converse of "It's what Rob would have wanted" of course is "that sounds like something Rob would have said." And this thread is as good a place as any to keep pointing out the Fordian assholery that still pervades our politics . . . and will, unfortunately, for the foreseeable future.
