The Fords cannot get away with a political function out of season.

Unless moving it back to the backyard is a means of obviating that concern--that way, it becomes what it *always* was at its best: a Conservative version of Joe Foti's old Liberal BBQs, but more invitingly generous to "folks" and "taxpayers".

In fact, hasn't there always been some public vs private property distinction re legal vs illegal political functions? Which is why the last two FFs have happened on Sears property rather than that of the City (cf Centennial and Thomson Parks)

Doug Ford is “expecting a few thousand people” for a downsized Ford Fest.Rob’s final public BBQ in Etobicoke was on a frigid October night, and it only drew about 500 people—so the family is going old-school in Diane’s backyard this Friday, where the focus will be on Ward 2 city councillor Mikey.

And neighbours, tourists, bloggers, reporters, media that supports them, and the media that don't support them.

Forget the BBQ - it's the booze.

Have you in the past? I never have but I have a cell phone.

Yeah, I have got a few robocalls from the Fords, but we still have a landline.
