Rob Ford cares about the average joe.

He's at his desk 24/7 taking calls.

He'll walk your dog, feed your cat.

He's a man's man.

Oh, boohoo. Rob Ford is a sweet innocent guy, sadly attacked by some of the media, simply because he's a sweet, lovable guy.

I never said that;

He never gets in trouble, there have never been any 911 calls from his house, he's never had any bad press before, and no one has ever accused him of anything.
I never said that; and

What an angel.
I never said that.

The Digital Journal?

The Toronto Star Big surprise there.

Holy Catshi!t THE HUFFINGTON POST.

Are you even trying anymore? :lol:

Although I did like the story titled:
Police arrest man named Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop


Rob Ford cares about the average joe.

Your words not mine.

And just so we are clear the people in ridings that are red, pink and burgundy are not all of Toronto or the center of the Universe -- although many who live in those ridings seem to think so.

Rob Ford inspires local citizens—to try to bring Transit City back

The push to resurrect Transit City is picking up a modest amount of steam, courtesy of activist Joe Drew and the website SaveTransitCity.com.Speaking on the CBC’s Metro Morning yesterday,Drew made a case for reviving the plan Rob Ford killed on his first day in office.He argued that much of the legwork on Transit City is already done; he invoked the suburbs and their need for rapid transit(bonus Ford point)and said there’s room for compromise between Transit City and the mayor’s plan. Meanwhile, another website, CodeRedTO, is also pushing local citizens into the fight for what it calls “a rational, affordable and achievable rapid transit strategy.” As Torontoist notes, it seems Ford has managed to spark a wave of activism and community engagement the city hasn’t seen in years—though we suspect he doesn’t consider it one of his greatest accomplishments. Listen to the entire segment [Metro Morning] »

I never said, implied, suggested, or stated that you did say that.

Well then, I suppose I mistook your post as addressing mine. No harm nor foul intended.

Don't call 911 on me. :)

Sorry, the amount of votes does not determine how popular a politician is. It only shows how popular he was at election time.

Nor does the ramblings of quoted Far Left Media.

Come election time we will see what happens. Although it doesn't affect me, it will be interesting to see if the Chicken Little Crowd will benefit from squawking about having to pay entry to a public pool (like the rest of the country).

Toronto needs to sort out its house and all these stupid vignettes of perceived scandal are just a distraction of the real issues. It seems the Extreme Left Wing along with their supporters in the media have adopted Republican tactics.

Well, yes, when Sue Ann Levy and the other former Conservative candidates who now work for the Sun are not paid to shill for Ford, they have to at least pretend like they are critical of his policies.

There is a distinct difference between a columnist's opinion and a paper reporting bullsh!t.` By the way, Sue Ann Levy worked for The Sun long before she was candidate.

She's a shill, just like Ford's secretary who is now writing for them.

Anyway, I guess it brings back to the point of discussing the particulars of each article if you want to make the strongest point.

So, are you saying that Ford is kicking money over to The Sun? That would be a great Toronto Star Headline.
