Boges

Because reports say she was. But now there's this from that Conservative Rag: The Globe and Mail. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/torontos-rob-ford-verbally-abusive-but-reports-of-911-profanity-inaccurate-source/article2215608/

Faced with a leader that had a wishy washy platform that really didn't differ a whole lot from McGuinty's the Ontario Liberals lost about 25 seats and now have a minority government as opposed to the strong majority the received in 2007. I think the Ontario Liberals should probably have a bit of humility from this result. But that's not what this thread is about. Everyone knew Rob Ford was like this when they elected him. It's just disappointing that his reaction has allowed the CBC to skate on their heinous behaviour.

Is there proof he did this yet? There may be but since 911 calls are supposed to stay private we might never hear it. Also it's odd that a 911 operator would act all traumatized from hearing a few F-bombs. I'm sure she hears worse everyday.

Apparently in Canada 911 calls are private so we may never hear this call. As of now it's just hearsay. I wouldn't put it past Ford to melt like this though.

I just heard he can't even get someone to second his nomination. It appears this is a non-story. No way he becomes speaker. As for the bi-election issues. That's not something anyone can count on because we have no idea where or when the first bi-election will happen. It could happen the other way and the Liberals may fall further behind their majority.

Heard Klees on the radio this morning and he says there is no rule that says the speaker has to vote with the government. Oh and I acknowledged those were Federal MP's in my post.

I'm not sure what Mayor Ford was thinking. I haven't seen the video but I heard the Audio. He obviously wasn't impressed by the situation. He didn't sound scared though. Calling the cops and lying about your daughter and the time of day makes him look like the bad guy. All he had to do was say that he doesn't appreciate the media harassing him at his home. And he'd escape any criticism here. Oh well by tomorrow no one will care about this anymore.

That appears to be done in Ottawa not Mr. Chretien's house. Had she come to his house he might have strangled her considering what he's done in the past.

I'll give you Belinda Stronach. Scott Brison did it because of the merger. He saw himself as a PC.

People eat Ivory now? Coucillor Holliday is warning of potential law suit. I'm not opposed to this law but I don't think it will change much. Typical government to take a year to do something though.

It seems like a He said, It said. Regardless of his reaction, it's not cool to go to people's house with TV camera's uninvited like that. They would never do this to a sympathetic politician to their cause.

There's no real way to enforce this. I doubt they're going to hire special Shark fin agents to monitor China town. It's just a feel good bit of legislation. That actually means very little. Just think of all the Shark fin Speakeasys. There'll be a new crime syndicate getting your local City Wok Shark Fin. BTW if they cared about Shark's so much, why is it going to take a year for this legislation to be implemented? Can anyone tell I've been watching a lot of Boardwalk Empire?

Are there any MPPs that anyone can think would cross the floor? I can't think of any. Liberals are usually the ones that cross the floor. The only Conservative I can think of that's crossed the floor since the merger (I know that's federal) is that puke Garth Turner. There's no law that says Frank Klees has to vote with the government in a tie. Who's going to punish him if he doesn't? I doubt anyone in opposition will vote for him though. It does make things very weird in the PC caucus though.

Not sure what Frank Klees is thinking. Is there a law that says he has vote with the government?

This is assuming he knew who Mary Walsh was at the time.

I'm sure they'll have lovely careers at Tim Horton's.

BTW this thread has gone off the rails a bit. There are plenty of threads on this site that debate the usefulness of the CBC. This thread is about that "Get the Facts" thing on their website which didn't have all the facts.

You really think a country of 32 or so million people all have a shared national consciousness? I'm sure there are plenty of people that hate most of what's on CBC so they clearly aren't speaking to the whole country. I'll give them credit with having a show like Heartland though. I'm sure people South of Bloor hate that show.

That's probably not what these hack's want. They want to embarrass people.

That he made it known to the public where he'd be. Well that justifies ambushing him at his home.

Funny, even I know he had a press conference today. I'm sure you can find him at City Hall during business hours.

Do you have evidence of this? Perhaps we should request a Freedom on Information request.

This power plants are needed. But that people bought McGuinty's BS during the election is hilarious. Thank God he didn't get a majority.

No question. But because the chattering classes don't like Rob Ford it's OK to do that. The CBC would never think of going to Dalton McGuinty's house. Never went to David Miller's house.

Dalton should just say Eff it and put that Oakville Power plan back on schedule. No one seems to care if he lies or not anyway.
