[matou]

I love the CBC newscaster LOL!

Rob Ford's true victims may be those closest to him

Doug Ford says critics ‘can’t go after our fiscal record’ – challenge accepted

They need to bring charges. He has made it clear as a total asshat he isn't about to leave. His Political career is over. I think right now it's about saving his life. IMO.

BBM~ There are charges coming. It's under investigation and alot of the complaints are alleged.

However, with that being said, why can't the Premier (oh wait, there is no Premier for Ontario) or Prime Minister (Stephen Harper), who is also a Conservative step in?

There is some serious flaws in Canadian Law.

And not to be outdone in the buffoon department, brother Doug has his bottle of what appears to be Grey Goose Vodka strategically placed behind him under his desk while doing his CNN interview defending his brother's actions.

So much of this IS unbelievably hilarious...until you realize that it is real. :banghead:

MOO

:floorlaugh: :floorlaugh:

Good catch! I love it! This is REAL!

Looking through a list of Councillors to see if I recognize the man in the interview.

Did find this good article

http://www.insidetoronto.com/news-s...ants-rob-ford-out-of-mayor-s-job-permanently/

Are you referring to Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong?

I heard on CBC radio today that a survey firm determined that ~ 23% of Torontonians would vote for Rob Ford if an election was held now. This stacks up as high as for anyone else.

I am absolutely gobsmacked! (I am channeling my inner Brit, using that terminology.)

Seriously? The guy has no respect for his family, himself, women, staffers, the law, civil society, etc., etc. How can anyone think he is appropriate to represent the citizens of Toronto?? Clearly he has shown he has no judgement. How can people expect him to show judgement when it comes to managing the city?

My condolences to the citizens of Toronto. (What the heck is wrong with the 23% of you?)

I suppose people adore him because he's not superficial and over the top in accordance to social norms.

He is like a bull with a b***s of steel. There are ALOT of politicians who are drug/alcohol addicts, so much so, Mayor Rob Ford challenged them all to random drug tests! :scared:

At the end of the day, the family has alot of money and can afford good lawyers.

I also think he's harmless, except to himself. MOO

Rob Ford tells Fox he wants to be prime minister

Ford opens up to John Roberts from Fox News, saying he has a team of health professionals and still wants to be prime minister.

Per that article,he also showed up to the Santa Claus Parade after being asked by organizers not to. :blushing:

I've lost my last shred of empathy for the guy. Implode already.

Are you referring to Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong?

Just got back and saw your post. No. It is Coun. Parker. He is the one I saw interviewed and explained the workings of Canadian govt. And he clearly wanted Ford OUT.

Alas,I cannot find what I saw on the television.

I would love to be there, but I'm in the US. Please report back to us!

I can't believe he still has, what appears to be, many supporters. Ugh!!

How much does one actually save in rent a year, by a tiny property tax cut?
I saw this being argued by his supporters.
