It sounds like he's at the game, too. Would be funny if they were near each other.

Olivia Chow is also at the game.

Kelly is tweeting about it. It would be hilarious if Dale was sitting behind Ford. Hi Mayor! So about Gene Jones...

Edit: Jerry the driver just posted a pic of Warmington, who is also way up at the game. No doubt he's there to check Ford's drinks.

Ladies and gentlemen: our Mayor... wiping his nose with the back of his sleeve like your average 5-year-old.

Be fair. He probably wasn't wiping his nose, he was probably just checking to see if there were any residuals he spilled on his sleeve after his last line.

What would you comment be if he had courtside seats or a box?

Dunno, he's rich, it's what I would expect to be honest. I'd expect the mayor to sit in a box tbh, they usually do.

Is it just me or does he look disproportionately large? Another photo made him look cartoonishly big too.

Maybe the more 'interesting' selfies come once the game is over. Is Muzik open on a Tuesday?

Speaking of which, anyone with some free time & night club experience can get a job & spy on RoFo.

Yes. So is Steak Queen.

Well, the Raptors won, so RoFo broke his streak of being a bad luck charm.

Probably because he was seated so far away.

no it's because Olivia Chow was there!

I wonder where he'll end up tonight. The sit-in is over so he could go back to city hall without worry.

You are a west-ender, Annette Street area? There were no abbatoirs in my neck of the woods that I can recall; just factories which contaminated the soil for generations to come. It's odd to see expensive condos go up on that contaminated land like all is okay now. Fyi, I love the new-fangled neighbourhood names which have been created to slap lipstick on a sow. Eastern Ave is now Riverdale South. Just west of there... Leslieville. All dumps when I was a kid. Main/Gerrard is now called "Beaches North" but we used to call it CNR South.

I'm more familiar with the Niagara area of Toronto. But, I know the east-end also. It's changed so much. I remember the big factories like Inglis and Massey. And, I think most of the workers actually lived in the area. Most workers used to live close to work, and with the severe traffic congestion we are now facing, it's becoming more common now.

"How many camera's did they use?"

I don't doubt the 2000 figure, but I think perhaps that many people came through and were not all there at the same time. When I arrived around 6:00 there were already people leaving with their Bobbleheads and other trinkets. Many people seemed to spend the whole time in lineups for stuff.

The atmosphere was pretty dead overall. Lots of action around the firetruck as people took photos, etc.... but around the tables it was mostly a snoozefest with bored-looking people. During the speeches and rah rah rah session, things got crowded around the stage, but that crowded area wasn't really all that big. Beyond the "mosh pit" it was again quite dead, with many people still standing around in their lineups or quietly sitting at scattered tables.

Yeah, it's been little said, but worth mulling how many "walkouts" there might have been among whatever "official" attendance figure, "this is dead/boring/sucks, let's get out of here", etc.

By comparison, that likely "wouldn't* have been a factor w/Tory or Chow--or else it would more likely have been a turn-away-at-the-door or "this is too crowded and stuffy, let's get out of here" circumstance...
