Boges Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 I heard highlights of yesterdays council session on the radio. I'm embarrassed for Ford. He got totally pwned by councillor Josh Matlow. I don't know anything about this proposed Scarberia LRT. But I'll take experts word for it that it's not going to take away from lanes on the street. And the population density isn't high enough to really justify full fledged subway. Ford was saying the project was going to tear up streets, and Matlow had a meltdown. This actually makes the Province and Stinz look even worse, because we all know Ford is just appealing to blind populism. But THEY! are supposed to be the responsible ones. Yeah I know Provincial Liberals and the Word Responsible don't ever get used together EVER! But they're just partially financing this project. They should know what the plans are before they waffle like this. Ironically Ford won't be the one to suffer from this mess, it's the sheeple that fear he'll get them turfed out. It's quite a sight.

Problem is, council (or rather, certain Scarbourough councillors) keeps changing the plan. Quote
guyser Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 You should see the video. It's like watching an owl slowly pull out a mouse's entrails. Could our Mayor be any more dense and ignorant? He should be arrested for abject stupidity. The more I see him talk, the more I am convinced that Doug is pulling all the strings. Quote

g_bambino Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 What are you going to do when he's re-elected? Where are the results of that future election he won? Quote

Boges Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 Hey people on this site are constantly predicting the downfall of the CPC 2 years out. Election prediction is nothing new on this site. Quote

And how often are they right? Let's keep in mind, the sage predicting a Rob Ford re-election also predicted a Romney landslide, so... Quote
Boges Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 And how often are they right? Let's keep in mind, the sage predicting a Rob Ford re-election also predicted a Romney landslide, so... Sure but it's annoying no matter who's doing it. We don't know who Ford is facing in the 2014 election so a prediction there is as silly as saying Trudeau will win a majority in 2015. Quote

g_bambino Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 Dickish troll is being normal. Why bother entertaining all his obvious shortcomings? Mmm... Just thought I'd see why he can so often speak in unsubstantiated absolutes while anyone else's rational likelihoods are first misrepresented as unsubstantiated absolutes and then simply denigrated as fantasy. But, the question of why bother to do so is a good one. Quote
WWWTT Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Posted July 18, 2013 OK lets bring the debate back to Rob Ford. Here's why this guy is losing the next election Enjoy!

GostHacked Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Speaker - Councilor Matlow(sp) calm down. Councilor Matlow - Ford does not know wtf he his talking about why SHOULD I be calm? His questions were clear, Ford's answers were typical political horse sh!t. Scale this up and this is how provincial matters and federal matters are settled. Quote
Boges Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 OK lets bring the debate back to Rob Ford. Here's why this guy is losing the next election So isn't predicting Ford will lose be as silly as predicting Ford will in? BTW, Ford's ignorance aside the motion still was passed in his favour. That's what people will remember. Quote

g_bambino Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 So isn't predicting Ford will lose be as silly as predicting Ford will in? It isn't even prediction; it's full on assertion. And, yes, it's just as silly. Quote
PIK Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 Where are the results of that future election he won? Looks good for him to be reelected. Chow going to run or go federal and if she runs and tory does to , good for ford. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
PIK Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 So I wonder if the star has a investigation going on ,becuase ford was in sask at the football game. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
Boges Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 His brother was apparently ranting on the radio Sunday that one of the crack video reporters has been snooping around their condo in Florida compiling info for what appears to be a book. Reporters will follow Ford anywhere. Quote
Keepitsimple Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Turns out one of the crack reporters - Robyn Doolittle - went to Fords Florida condo on personal business - she is writing a book on Ford. It would seem to me that might be a conflict of interest with her current job - using company resources for personal gain....amongst other things. But of course we didn't see Doolittle on CBC or any in depth follow-up in the media. Thats the juicy part of all these tempest in a teapot scandals - its really the underlying vendetta of all things Conservative that cries out for a book to be written.

scribblet Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 Right... good thing he isn't doing the Weiner thing, they'd be all over it. Oh wait... that's acceptable cos it's a democrat. Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province

Keepitsimple Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) How do you know she's doing it on the Star's dime? Derp. Don't know if the trip was paid for by the Star in advance - but you can bet that if she had found something juicy, it would have been reported - and her expenses paid for - right? My point was not the trip to Florida - it was writing a book (or claiming to) - while working for the Star - using all the material that has been amassed by the Star. Personally, I don't think she's writing a book - I think that was just a cover because she knew she had gone too far at this particular time. BTW....what does DERP stand for?

Journalists are allowed to pursue personal projects while working for newspapers. Happens all the time. You're reaching. Quote
