Wynne best stay out of it.

having a Ontario Liberal-NDP coalition to oust a populist Conservative would really rally do Average Joes who support Ford to support him even more.

Would be perceived as a Left wing attack. Wynne best stay out of it

Actually, Hudak is (shockingly) on board. It's Horwath who isn't.

She'd need Horwath and Hudak to play ball and the former is a weasel, with the latter being useless though willing to do ... something.

I'm not much up on Canadian politics but is it possible this guy is still in power due to his comedic value? We all need something to laugh at and cheer us up!

It's cultural. Canada still has a queen, so a crack smoking mayor fits the bill just fine.

That's how Obama wins everytime: radicalize your enemies until they self destroy. It's divide and conquer and it works great. I want Ford to present himself as mayor again for that very purpose, it will cause him and his supporters to self destruct. The more Ford gets attacked, the crazier he and his supporters get.

The Queen is as much of a de facto head of state as Rob Ford is of Toronto.

Yeah, just like the Queen they'll pay him to stay in power without power, just to have something to put on the headlines, and keep people dumb.

Now that he's irrelevant, I wish he'd just go into hibernation or something. I think we can all agree that the city is exhausted.

Irrelevant? He's a star.

https://soundcloud.com/am640/oakley-mayor-rob-ford-mon-nov This interview is fucking insane. This is so crazy it sounds scripted.

Taxpayers. Fight fight fight. Training. Saving Money. Socialists. NDP.
I can see people eat it up. :(

"I urinated in a park."
"They would have charged me."
"Bring out the wiretaps, bring out the videos."
"I admit it on my own terms."
"I'm not an alcoholic, and I'm not a drug addict!"
"They're the ones who need help, not me!"

I'm willing to bet Ford is loving his new global popularity so much that he's going to milk this for all he's got. Expect more and more craziness.

I dunno what if there's nothing else and he's right? They can't charge him, maybe he wins again?

I think we all have to prepare ourselves for the inevitable Rob Ford reelection next October. I've seen and heard too many stupid and sympathetic comments about him already. The only thing that can stop him at this point is a murder charge and even then I'm not 100% sure.

Yup, he's gonna play the victim card relentlessly.

Rob Ford has forced the New York Times to write the following sentence.


NY Times said:
For the lawmakers and people of Toronto, known to much of the world as a cosmopolitan city with copious bike lanes, hockey’s Maple Leafs and general placidity, the endurance of Mr. Ford, so rotund and erratic that he often appears on the brink of spontaneous explosion, has become nothing short of an obsession.

Got dang.

It wouldn't surprise me. Which is completely disheartening.
