Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
Good news: I'm outside Toronto just enough that I can't vote for Toronto mayor.
Bad news: where I live, the majority of residents voted in Bev Oda.
Daryl and his other brother Daryl are a joke.
Wait and see about Tory.

What problems has he solved?
if you believe in the "stopping the gravy train" rhetoric, you probably also believe the republican's lie that government funded health care will hurt the poor in America (who currently can't afford any health insurance.)

so that one politician who accused ford of being on crack cocaine and no one believed her because she is "fat and unattractive" was actually right?

You just had to open the ACA can of worms....The same ACA that all the liberal media outlets are backpedaling and distancing from....dude, the thing is heading for the wall and Obamas got the pedal to the metal.
More and more things are coming out of the woodwork about what a total fiasco that thing is and will be. You're right, the poor will frigging LOVE it....as the middle class will pick up the tabs on that endless bill.
Theres a topic on a US motorcycle boards, which asks people to list their new "Affordable" healthplan. 90% are seeing an increase in costs with a decrease of benefits....Those are real world people like you and me who are being shafted.

What kind of journalism do you think we need more of? Babies stuck in wells and Miley?
There was no slander, and he deserves to be discredited (though not for being an addict, but for being a thug and a dunderhead).

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
I am a supporter of Ford and the smoking stuff on the comfort of his home I can overlook if he is doing a good job, but I am watching the news and there are things I can't overlook, trowing empty bottles of vodka on a school parking lot is one of those. **** him!

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
Just remember that what Obama wanted to pass and what he end up passing after compromising and been hold hostage by the republicans is a very different thing. Just going to leave it at that because this is a topic that will take many pages to properly discuss

No, that would be ridiculous. No one believed or cared what she had to say because she was a woman. Trololol.

Are we talking about the same crack cocaine that didn't exist until roughly 1984/85, in the US?

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
The last election was a disaster. No one of any worth ran for it, so we got what we got. If it wasn't Ford, it woulda been Smitherman, or Rossi. God help us all... The best thing about this Ford disaster is that we are going to see a REAL election with good people actually putting themselves forward. There will actually be a real choice between (potentially) competent leaders.
That brings us to alternative con candidates for mayor. Basically we've got Tory and Stinz.
I used to be a fan of John Tory, but I think he's way too hesitant. Stinz on the other hand, she scares the hell outta me. She's razor sharp, in a good way. Any of you ever see that woman in council? Nobody's going to give her any ****. Right now she looks better to me anyone else who might run. Got a damn good staff locked up already too.
But whatever else happens, I want Ford running in the next election. I hope that whatever he gets hit with - and he's gonna get hit with SOMETHING - won't move fast enough to toss him out just yet. I want the voters to toss him out.
While that may sound like a "Be careful what you wish for!" scenario (given Ford's resilience and a splintered vote between many candidates), I'm pretty sure he hasn't got a hope in hell. Modern elections aren't won by one person - you need a good team. And every functional human on Ford's staff is gone, replaced by a bunch of college kids who eager to work in (ooh!) THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. Can't say as I'd blame them - I'd have done the same at their age. It'd be a hell of an experience - not one anyone that young or green would normally get. But god bless those kids, come election time, Ford's going to be playing with a staff of rank amateurs.

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
If anybody ever met Toronto's other option for mayor (Slitherman) and truly knew what he was up to Ford being accused of hittin' the pipe every now and then would look like a walk in the park.
The truth is Ford was the best of the worst. And smart people do not become mayor. They make money doing other things.

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
People sure hate on McGuinty, but it's worth noting that nearly every major fiasco of the McGuinty government was a programme started by one George Smitherman. Orang? E-Health? Green Energy subsidy trainwreck? All that and more came from the same mind.
(other than the powerplant cancellation... and I think he was involved in setting them up at least)
His mayoral campaign was basically just "Vote for me, because I deserve it".

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
Fact is;
1- Miller's admin implemented Transit City, consisting almost entirely of dedicated rail lines for the suburbs. Ford actually tried to stop it entirely, with only a faint hope of replacing it with a smaller subway system that we couldn't afford or need.
2- Miller initiated the Priority Community concept for areas that needed special attention from the city (none of them downtown).
3- Miller was opposed to the development of the downtown airport which most downtowners were happy to have (naturally benefitting Rexdale).
Maybe if you weren't so busy belittling the other side you might see that there are actually many significantly better alternatives to Ford.
The suburban vs. downtown argument is baseless. No one talked about suburban discontent until AFTER Ford was elected, because they needed to explain his victory somehow.

Another one mocking the left while lacking information! You could get a job at the Sun. FYI; they both admitted to pot use, and nobody cared either way.
The issue here is that Rob is a thug. There isn't a single example of his presence anywhere where he isn't being thuggish. He also needs help for his substance abuse problem, but he thinks he needs help for nothing. The two are actually the same problem, as people prone to outbursts and fits of rage are more likely to be addicts (boils down to lack of self-control). It highlights just how hopelessly inadequate he is for any position of authority, let alone mayor.

If the facts bare out the accusations then so be it.
It's easy to hurl accusations.
It seems Ford is done based on the Police surveillance photos as well.
How the hell did he not know they were watching him?
I guess just like others when you are that arrogant you tend to believe you are untouchable.

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!
He's done one good thing for the city, and that's contract out half the city's garbage collection.
"Character issues", wow, great spin. He makes council meetings dysfunctional. He has repeatedly shown he doesn't understand simple issues yet he insists on yelling on about what he believes is the right way to proceed. He doesn't even take advice from people he pays to give him advice. He truly, genuinely thinks he knows it all. This is not a figure of speech, this is reflected in everything he says and does. He's an international embarrassment for the city. "Character issues"!
The subway is a waste. He's taken a billion Toronto dollars we don't have (plus a federal commitment) to add capacity to a line that didn't need it. Ford supported it because he thought the LRT would take space away from cars, that's all. He simply decided his own facts and stuck to them.
http://youtu.be/_vCpKUNRBEw?t=2m45s
Yes, people want subways. They want a million dollars too. Someone has to use good judgement to decide what is and isn't provided based on the actual circumstances. Rob has plenty of judgement, but none of it good.
BTW corruption ended at city hall with Miller. He also appointed the first ethics commissioner, reformed the bureaucracy, sought electoral funding reform (council voted against), and created a lobbyist registry. Rob's tough talk did nothing.
