Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
"Stand Up for Toronto – Let’s Demand Rob Ford’s Resignation" event on Facebook has joined forces with www.fordmustgo.com
http://globalnews.ca/news/598058/rally-asking-ford-to-resign-garners-huge-support-online/
How come Ford supporters don't organize a rally to cheer up the mayor?
Is it because (like it has been written here previously) Ford supporters are not involved in social media?
Or is it because, by now, it's a matter of jumping ship?
Are people who voted for Ford ashamed yet? No more Ford Nation?
What's the deal?

When was the last time you tried to organize anything in suburbia? The opposition is in downtown Toronto. Ford's supporters are in the 'burbs.

There's better things to do like making sure kids stay off your lawn.

He's the mayor of all Toronto but his greatest support came from places line Scarborough, Etobicoke, etc.. They are suburbs of Toronto

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
Pfff politicians has been caught with their pants down before. Pardon the pun, Clinton has been caught getting a BJ, mayor of NY has been caught with a prostitute and some other mayor has been caught doing bad things & still stayed in office. I highly doubt they can throw him out because of a "phantom" video

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
Yep, I was confused too!
What about me, since I live in the 905 area? Is that the suburb of the suburbs?
I still wonder why his supporters don't try to organize something significant... I see a bunch of them posting on forums, so they do have internet access...

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
That would be what is referred to as a "bedroom community"
It could be mindset issues. Rabid ideological conservatives tend toward a "me first, screw the rest" sort of attitude, while rabid ideological liberals prefer the "everyone should do what I think they should" sort of position. The first doesn't care unless it directly effects themselves, while that latter tends to want everyone to march to the beat of their own drum, as long as it's playing a song they personally like.

It was Marion Barry in Washington. But - rather than stay in office, he stayed in jail for a while.
He loved his crack................and whores.................and crackwhores.
They even make mention of Mr Ford in Barry's wiki notes:

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
Funny thing; Barry couldn't run for re-election because of the charges/conviction but later got back onto city council, then got re-elected as mayor after that. "The devil you know"?

And if we broaden the scope, we should all come to the same conclusion. Drug habits are a disease / medical condition that require re-hab / help / assistance, not jail time, or loss of employment.
Nobody gets dragged through the mud if they're diagnosed with "ALS" or "MS" or "PMS' etc etc.

To my mind any addiction, that impacts job performance, is a cause for firing. If it doesn't, then who cares?
I also believe that everyone is an addict in waiting, who just hasn't found the thing that tweaks their brain chemistry just right yet.

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
No body chooses to expose themselves to substances that cause those problems, last time I checked the only way to become a drug addict is to do drugs. So unless your mom did crack when you were in the womb it is self inflicted. That's why people have sympathy for those with als and ms vs being a crack head

What a mockery of democracy. Ford was voted in with a HUGE mandate, he is probably one of the least corrupt politicians we have in this country. Look at his previous record as councillor and how he votes on the issues, this city desperately needed him and still does. Sure lets throw some more money around and hold another election, if he wins everyone shuts their traps and lets the man do the job he was elected for. This media side-show has gone on long enough.

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
Sorry you feel that way. Acciction is not a criminal offence - once again, it's a disease.
Some of us tend to dwell on what we believe to be "negative" addiction, i.e. crack, cocaine, heroin, oxycontin, etc etc.
Some overlook / deem other things (I'm only going to use 1 example) such as excessive fitness workoutaholics not to be an addiction / job performance impacting.
Do you know anyone that works out more than once a day? I know several. Is their job negatively impacted? Yes. In most cases.
Thousands of jobs needed to be impacted for the Boston Marathon to be a success. I watched a teacher from this area interviewed on the news after the bombing(s).
According to your logic, she had a negative impact on her students / school by NOT being there, due to her running addiction.
Should she (and hundreds more examples I'm not going to elaborate on) be fired?
Personally - I don't care, but what's good for the goose, is good for the gander, IMHO.
