How does it look like that? The extortion charges involve Lisi's attempt to retrieve the video.

I love how he proclaims he will continue to save me money, even though he's just committed to a billion dollars and a tax increase for a shitty transit option in scarborough.

I seriously don't get why scarbrough, who already has an RT line, is a better option for an addition to the transit infrastructure than say queen street, or eglinton, or really anywhere in the main city's core.

That's checkmate. Get this fool out of office.

The RT line is second class shit. They need something that will get some cars of their congested streets. The LRT plan was extensive and effective in terms of cost and usefulness. It would have left an opportunity for a relief line and all the other infrastructure costs that will be needed to take on any extra passengers coming into the core. They went from an integrated city-wide plan that required no tax increase to three subway stops that will cost a dumb amount for what they offer.

It was all about buying votes, which is the worst kind of wasteful governance, and Stintz lost any chance of me considering her for a ford replacement. Wynn lost any chance of getting my vote as well.

No it was recovered from a computer seized in the raids a while back.

Yeah, being elected kinda makes him entitled.

jeffb · 10-31-2013, 11:00 PM

No way is this clown is going to step down.

js12 · 10-31-2013, 11:16 PM

And he still has a group of ignorant supporters behind his back, no matter what he does. smh

I really hope Olivia Chow runs for mayor, she definitely got my vote.

who are his ignorant supporters? Are they the ones that just want to save money?

How can this guy not have the decency to stand down? He's making Toronto look really bad and the #1 priority of being a mayor is your city but he's being selfish and ignorant

Overally rich snobs tend to like him. And he has his little support group in the rich part of Etobicoke.

Why won't he step down? I honestly don't know, he's living in his own fantasy world.

There is a very large number of not so rich supporters. People who have bought into his populist ramblings, and who heard him say that he has saved over a billion dollars so it must be true. He represents a counter to a prevailing idea that people like David Miller are socialists that spent lavishly on downtown crazies and enriched themselves in the process, while allowing unions to run rampant. Rob planted the seeds of dissatisfaction a long time ago. There are now some mighty oaks that require chopping down in a lot of minds.

Sounds like Ford is denying it's crack in the pipe. Lawyer: "no one's gonna approach the media with a video saying he's smoking tobacco

I just can't believe nobody will be able to stop the endless humiliation of the guy, and the embarrassment to the whole city. Doug is an evil fucker. It's clear to anybody that Rob is in need of help. But his own brother just keeps enabling and allowing this whole detachment from reality, like it's nothing to worry about.

I believe Doug was a drug dealer growing up so how can he be trusted. Fucked up family!!
