All the bullshit aside, when did it become unfashionable to protest, even peacefully? I do like the whole "you can't exorcize the rights vets secured for you" shtick.

Worms does know about democracy doesn't he?

For years now, Conservatives have been trying to discredit any form of protest.

If your protest is violent or disruptive: "You are not getting your point across the RIGHT way". or "This is not the time and place for this"

If your protest is peaceful and by their 'rules': it is either belittled or ignored.

Actually I would narrow it down a little - I think some conservatives don't share these values. Having said that, there is always the view that protesters are "professionals" that "need a real job" - ignoring at the same time that the right often make the loudest noises about free speech and all that.

And could someone please tell him that the blood wasn't spilt so that people can be paid to play a game, have a hot dog and beer? It's for upholding a system of government that respect the law, respect the right to dissent (like not standing up to an anthem) and freedom from persecution. Honestly, the guy need a lesson in history and civics.

Come to think of it - a game, hot dog and beer - isn't that what Imperial Rome does? Paragon of democracy, that.

Sounds like Worms is coaching Doug Ford for Kelly Leitch's Canadian Values Test.

Joe's having technical difficulty again tonight:

That tweet by Worms is gold! Go Gays Go!

 

[EagleEye]

Kevin Donovan and Jesse Brown sound like they really hate each other. I'm not surprised, they seem very Type A and Brown really does hate The Star.

And then this:

Typical mentality of meat-heads, just like the Fords, they also could not understand the nuances of social media.

Not related but she has the mentality down pat...

Toronto school trustee in hot water for business promotion
TDSB told Tiffany Ford to remove her board role from materials touting Smarty Pants Water. She now says she should not have become a trustee, calling the job ‘limiting.’

I know Donovan hates Brown with a passion. Thinks the guy's a weasel and an amateur.

So, the first thing Mikey does is try and derail Tory's key item. Doug probably told him to do that.

No one wants to question Ford on his deferral motion. It fails 3-29. Augimeri and Mammoliti supported it.

Tried to have it deferred to January/February and failed.

@jpags He's already building alliances left and right.

Another lone wolf attack dog?

 

[Roy's Square]

Just like his uncle, Mikey is holding down an item on a traffic light because it "doesn't meet the warrants."

Unlike his uncle, he's only holding down this single item and not a dozen or more.

Still, if I were John Campbell, I be pretty pissed off at the new Ward 2 councillor sticking his nose into the business of my ward.

 

[PinkLucy]

Baby steps. Start with one item and then move on to the whole agenda.
