It does no say Don Cherry, bub. Though, the fact that the actual mayor is up in this, anybody's game. Maybe Red Green, too.

That's our mayor!
Holy schnikey's, it's Canada's own Chris Farley.
I said goddamn.
no matter what the star says, the article on gawker seems legit

This is just too good to be true. TOO GOOD.
Shit, the mayor is harder than Drake.
I'd say Glenn Healy

lulz.
The Star isn't a paper I'd doubt. They are one of the few sources left of true journalism in NA.

i love to see someone make a campaign poster with that on it
this thread has potential
Come now, this is the Sun were talking about, not Metro

All things considered: Is it really hard to find a picture of the mayor hanging out with inner city kids, dudes? part of the guy's job is to visit all the neighbourhoods of his city, I mean the night time setting and the casual jogging gear does look suspect, but this guy never really does anything conventionally to begin with.

Comedy gold.
You realize that in spite if their repeated misrepresentations they have actually outsourced all of their content, right?
As another poster said, this is Gawker's story and not the joke of a paper called the Star.
A big part of me still thinks Ford is being targeted since he is such basically Tommy Boy, Mayor....but goddamn I would laugh if the video surfaces and is real.

Started from the bottom now we're here
i don't know much about canadian politics or its media so i initially assumed the op had accidentally linked to a satirical site based on those related links
what the fuck is the magnets on cars about
Yeah, ok.
Again, the star has seen the video and will likely be headline news tomorrow.
Just out of curiosity, what would you consider to be a good newspaper? Considering the star is the only one I ever see that actually digs for the truth?
He skipped out on a council meeting (rob ford does this a lot) to throw magnets on cars, which is kind of against city laws

Rob Ford kicked out of the Air Canada Centre during a Leafs game for being intoxicated and yelling obscenities at others, later denied being at the game despite pictures of him being there
It's possible the Star will refute the Gawker story, I guess we'll find out

He's actually pretty good at his job, believe it or not.
He was removed once for conflict of interest but a judge decided to overrule it, much to the annoyance of the majority of torontonians
He doesn't even do anything. He's the worst damned mayor this city has even seen. He makes Mel lastman look like Abraham Lincoln

If by good at his job you mean get overruled by council on almost everything

Yeah to be honest I doubt it's Cherry, I don't think with his fame that he could afford doing anything like that without it having leaked already.
No, he's not.

It sets a bad example but at the end of the day I have no problem with this. As silly as the guy with his public image is we've had worse mayors than him(not in terms of public image).

He did keep his election promise: End war on cars
*by getting rid of car registration tax in Toronto ($60 per car)
**~$60Million revenue was lost
***Oh, then the city went into a deficit
****So let's cut things, and raise cost of the TTC instead, because, WAR ON CARS
