Not sure....RoFo said something very similar about homeless shelters 12 years ago.
That's not surprising. Like I said, I think it's mostly a perception - a way of making sense of things, even if they are wrong.

"Yes the support today has been overwhelming and we are so grateful that so many recognize and support the important work Griffin Centre does.

How's that for customer service? (the one thing the Fords seem to value). Ten minutes later, on a Saturday night at 11pm. And no slurred words.
Somewhere inside the heart and mind of Doug Ford there is the agony of failure. There is something there that he does not want to admit to, and I bet that something has to do with the fact that he is a failure to his father. Doug Ford is not a successful businessman. He did not build a great business. He is not a great politician, and he is a terrible strategist. He has had privilege and opportunity handed to him. He has had money and a thriving business handed to him, and he has been able to work with these. But he wasn’t able to create them.
Doug is a failure desperately trying to hide his ineffectiveness inside the bluster of a bully. And the city of Toronto is his schoolyard.
Hurts, doesn’t it, Mr.Ford?
It hurts to have your weaknesses exposed. Even if Doug Ford actually reads these words, and even if he categorically denies them, the fact is people continue to detect the reek of failure upon him. Especially after he makes his next speech, blaming the media, blaming the lack of subways, blaming anything but himself or his brother, people will still raise an eyebrow and think to themselves, “Yeah right. Loser.”
That’s got to hurt when you know that people all around you see you as different, less capable, an inferior part of society.
It must be like what autistic kids feel
Mr. Ford’s angry tirade revealed far more than the daily bigotry and arrogance that we have now come to expect from him and his brother. It reveals the shame he feels at being a lesser person. He doesn’t have what those in his social circle have and no amount of money can buy it. He feels secondary.
But I know that those hard working kids at the Griffin Centre are big enough to forgive him.
I am liking Ari more and more.
I would like to shake his hand.
I would like the debates to be limited to: Mr. Tory, Mrs. Stintz, Mr. Socknacki, Mrs. Chow and Mr. Goldkind.
typezed said:Most neighbourhoods built in the last fifty years, those twisty turny cul-de-sac places, are monocultures.
From reading the article, I got the sense that these people don't really know what it means to be neighbourly. They are probably scared of everyone and everything outside their doors, and that is why they don't want the centre in their 'hood.
I'm not a doctor, but I hope he gets a check-up at the CH Employee Health Unit before hitting the gym.
I made an account on the site just to comment.Original posted story has now been tweeted 980 times.....
eh, what do you mean? The Fords are just like you and me. Haven't you ever pulled out half a million from your back pocket and bought out an annoying neighbour?“If it comes down to it, I’ll buy the house myself and resell it.”
This guy is the scum of the Earth..
Yeah I have so much money, I'll just buy the house and make the problem disappear..
