I refuse to believe that any day is "the day" until I see Ford in cuffs on the evening news.

I'd be okay with breaking news interrupting every channel's afternoon programming

I can't wait to hear him claim that he support rank and file, front line soldiers in the CF.

A person connected with the Garrison Ball (missed the name, sorry) will be on CP24 with Ledrew in minutes.

Yep. My hopes can't stand being dashed again, so "Ford in police custody on serious charges which carry real a real prison sentence" - and only that - will satisfy me.

Connect the dots, people.

If you're quoting Doug Ford, he actually said "put the dots together". He can't even get a simple saying correct.

The people on the organizing committee of the Garrison Ball make me a little ill. After TheStar published the Garrison story last year the committe (most of them) scrambled like rats to deny anything ever happened regarding Ford. Ainslie and TheStar are left swinging in the wind while the Ford camp spewed their bile and conspiracy theories.

Now this year the same organizing committee deliberately declines to invite Ford and specifically releases a statement essentially saying "He's not getting in even if he shows up". We all know what that means.

It's just another example of people enabling this ridiculous circus-show of a Mayor.

 

[Huge Seagull]

Yes, Squirrel. The po-po can take all the time they need... however long it take to build airtight case that will stick.

Doug and Rob are likely holed up together talking strategy. Either for the debate, or the best way to turn Rob in.

In light of all we know now, this seems far worse and more gutless. Ford shows up to the event visibly messed-up high with two track-suit type goons and HIS KIDS IN THE CAR, causes enough of a scene to shock a number of people (who chose to remain nameless), and all the organizing committee can say is "...didn't happen." ??? VERY classy and high society. Folks.

I was just commenting to my spouse that if there was one good thing about Ford, it was that it got us more interested and engaged in municipal politics. I previously only followed it by what was reported in the news. Did a bit of research and voted in elections, but that was about it. Of course, that was more than most of my co-workers, but I'm glad I have learned so much in the last couple of years.

I believe Ivor Tossell called this very phenomenon of increased engagement via outrage and the 'politics of psychodrama "The Gift Of Ford".

ETA: The swift and mighty skillz of vic beat me to it. Touche.

Gone to the mattresses?

One lucky thing for Rob, he got Sonny, not Fredo for a brother.

Maybe the way Lepke did it was best. Although Walter Winchell is no longer available, Joe W. is.

A contact at CTV just told me that today is likely the day so he Ford might just miss that debate...

Be still my heart - today's my day in the pool!

I was going to say that today doesn't make sense, given what OPP Commissioner Lewis was just quoted as saying - then I remembered who wrote that article.

Oh pleasepleaseplease let it be today. And if it isn't, thanks for making my day a little brighter anyway.

No...no...it was a Ford majority... 6 of 13 signed the letter...suggesting they hadn't seen or heard of anyone asking R Ford or someone in his entourage to get R Ford to leave..

Most of the organizers are active military (plus a few political/community folks symbolically thrown in). Getting involved in politics or saying anything negative about a politician is just not done in the CF.

Cops were at his campaign office today but false alarm. Heard any time this week but likely early next week. But my source was shocked by opp commish's comments that it all depends on Lisis phone. Maybe he was underselling their hand?

The commissioner's comments were a lot of doublespeak and bafflegab; he really didn't say anything. That is of course, assuming that Warmington quoted him correctly in the first place.
