Well, that's what happens when it's a lifestyle choice. No accounting for taste, indeed.

I still don't get it ... why would a grey-haired be His Blondness?
I wasn't in town for the 2003 campaign ... I've barely even heard of Laschinger. And I haven't read a Toronto Sun since the 1980s ...Well, Miller's hair's taken on a silver touch in office. But he's always been blond--and indeed, Laschinger made his hair the subject of one of his 2003 campaign posters. And AFAIK the Sun's been referring to His Blondness, if not since the beginning, then it might as well be...
To be fair I don't know whether Baker has officially backed any candidate for Mayor, but compared to Bussin he sounds like a rational choice for the Council chair. I didn't even know he was a Conservative until you just told me, thanks! But then again if 11,000 nfitz's show up at the ballot, rationality be damned. Interesting how you again decided to skim over the streetcar issue - a violation of Section 37 of the Planning Act; and I could add on to the list the Tuggs deal, the wall mural debacle, the bunny seat, charging the taxpayer for flowers sent to funerals, the self-promotion in local flyers, the Teehans, etc. Seems like Councillors' actions are only considered taboo and subject to punishment when a Councillor hails from the right of caucas.
Surely using bigoted terms to describe the mayor is a poor thing.
However, as other posters have pointed out, the Sun is a very bigoted publication. It's a shame that there are people who are so evil to read such bigotry.

That doesn't even make sense. Miller shallow? What, compared to Lastman? Rob Ford? It makes little sense.Besides, I can get the Sun's drift here. "His Blondness" connotes Miller's perceived shallow, pretty-boy vacuity.
I fully admit it. I'm bigoted against anti-gay, racial bigots, sexist bigots, and linguistic bigots. I hate and despise these evil criminals, and think they should be subject to the harshest applicable penalties.BIGOT -- a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own

Besides, the bigotry at the Toronto Sun, and of their readers, was documented quite well in one of the posts further above.
The articles referred to previously clearly demonstrate that the Toronto Sun is a bigoted publication. And now that we have that proven, it only seems likely that their really weird comments about other politicians that don't seem to have any basis in reality must be bigotry.
What other thing can explain the really weird things they publish?
As for the "Fat Fuck" nickname for Ford. The ONLY place I've ever seen this outside of this forum, is coming out of Rob Ford's mouth. Repeatedly. He's the first person that is recorded as using it. However if the shoe fits ...

Do you see a problem with that?
Of course it's the stupidest thing I've ever posted. I was trying to write in the Toronto Sun's bizarre over-the-top style. It seems the humour is lost on you ...And accusing ALL Toronto Sun readers of being evil is the stupidest thing you've ever posted.

Rob Ford is a living example of how people aren't going to back down from false accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia.
While you rely on anecdotal evidence coloured by the witness' own biases, I rely on the facts
When you call Rob bad names, that means you are calling his hundreds of thousands of supporters the same bad name
FS, do you really specialize in internal contradictions? Need I remind you your knowledge of facts has been proven to be woefully inadequate, as per the example of the LRV yard debate? Claming that you rely on facts when you have been caught knowing absolutely nothing - in fact, ranting in light of facts- kind of put your spin on things in a completely different perspective. Practice what you preach.
I just love how one elevates themselves to the pedestal of rationality when policywise it's nothing but emotional manipulation.
Funny, considering how much name calling RF has been doing - perhaps YOU should apply the same standards to him, no? But of course, that's "free speech".
