Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

I thought thats what politics were all about

Most politicians are at least slick enough to tell you that there's no elephant in the room, when there actually is no elephant directly behind them on the stage. Not so Ford.

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

To save time, do you have the totals?
Arguing over one page of results (out of 120 pages) does not make any sense.



Also, make note that Rob Ford is now taking credit over items that he voted against, and maybe that's what AdRath meant.




Rob Ford voted against several of his listed "accomplishments"

By Matt Elliott

Rob Ford's website has now a "TOP ACCOMPLISHMENTS LIST" that plays very loose with the facts. So loose, there’s no choice but to do an exhaustive fact check on every single item — my biggest fact check ever.

The following are the list of accomplishments taken off Ford’s website on Monday, March 3. Don’t blame me for the weird capitalization — it was like that when I got there.


At least six of the mayor’s accomplishments relate to things that Ford actually voted against, either as mayor or as councillor.


Here’s the list:

Introduced a Customer Service Reception Desk in City Hall
I can’t find any record of Ford bringing an item to council to create this desk, but there does seem to be a desk near the entrance of city hall where people can ask questions.

Made Nathan Phillips Square Safe and Inviting for Citizens
Ford may be referring to one of two things here. Either this is about a Sue Ann Levy column that complained about too many homeless people in the square, which prompted Ford to complain to the city manager and apparently step up enforcement. Or it’s about the Nathan Phillips Square Revitalization project.

If it’s about the latter, Ford doesn’t have much room to brag. The project began long before Ford became mayor and in 2007 he voted against it. (Page 95) Later, as council debated the 2009 capital budget, Ford moved to remove all funding for the project. (Page 6)

Improving Communication with the City through 311 and mobile apps
311 was a project of the previous administration. Ford was against it. On December 8, 2009, Ford moved to eliminate all funding for plans to implement it.

Improving TTC service
On January 10, 2011, Ford announced his first budget would cut service on dozens of TTC routes. Since then, the fare subsidy for the TTC remains below 2010 levels and the system is wracked widely-reported instances of crowding.

Made TTC an Essential Service
Yep.

Improving Toronto EMS and Toronto Fire Services
Too vague to verify.

etc.
etc.
etc.
etc.
etc,

I said I was going to take that first page as a sample, did not have time to go through all the pages since I am at work.

This is what AdRath said

He voted against almost every single issue brought forth by council. The guy voted against his own budget.

so I am not sure how you came up with that interpretation of what he said.

I did not bring this topic up, I am sure there are many articles that will support your point and many others that wont, I answered specifically to his comments

So he is less polished on the way he lies? I will take that!


Now I will let you guys continue to have your little circle of Rob Ford haters, just please stick to substantial facts

Peace

Hate him? No, I can't muster enough effort to hate him. I do, however, believe that he is simply not the sort of person to be the mayor of a small town, let alone one of the largest cities on the continent. All of the reasons why have been clearly stated.

I don't hate him either, but there's not one member of GTAM starting an Olivia Chow thread. Maybe cause there’s not much to criticize there. Is she really the Anointed One?

Rob Ford, on the other hand, offers us drunken, expletive-laden videos and bizarre behavior that are evidence of a bigger problem that there’s something wrong with Toronto and its voters. After all, people get the government they deserve.

Well I could have started one but given that my usual nickname for her is "Oblivious Cow", I doubt that it would have gone well.

Haha! Haven't hear that one before..But I do hope she wins cuz I don't really like the others and she would be a lot better than RoFo.

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

I like Soknacki as a candidate.

 

[GP_RZ]

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

Soknacki sounds like something Olivia Chow would drink! If I could vote in TO it would be for FORD!

 

[MarcosSantiago]

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

I'm only voting for candidates that do crack, acid, or meth...

If she wins, I bet you within a couple of years, people will be wishing Rob Ford was back - I am just going to leave this prediction up in here and bring it back in 2016

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

Years? I'd give it six months.

And you are basing your prediction on ... what?

Mostly Miller's legacy with car penalties and congestion-causing bicycle lane overdose

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

We'll see who the voters choose. I predict he'll be facing criminal charges before the election in October.

When I first started posting about Ford, I had a lot of pent up anger over his behaviour, and Ford Nayshun for continuing to support him. I needed to vent that. Lately, as he continues his buffoonery, I'm beginning to feel more pity for his supporters. They are looking more and more foolish, in my opinion.

It's okay, the first step is always admitting you have a problem :thumbup:

Unfortunately Rob Ford is not able to do so.
