I am not clear on what you think that ads to the story? They went to Ford because he is the only person who can make the call.
This seems like another argument that he is putting himself before the city.

Indeed it does BUT there was no benefit to the GTA to go through the embarrassment of having to call in outside resources like when calling in the army for so called Canadian city that can't cope with winter.
yes I don't disagree with what you have said here...still it is a rule I would like to see enforced as I believe the behaviour adds no value to a thread.
if he were left leaning it would have been brought forward as typical amoral left behaviour
'parently... I am frankly shocked at the defense for Ford that just continues in spite of proof to the contrary...I don't wish him ill, but he is fuked up beyond belief...no wonder we end up with politicians who fuk us over....we just bend over and take it and thank them for it...if he swings our way, let's just defend him regardless of how bad they present or the evidence uncovered....let's just blame everyone but him...
fuking, scares me
as for him caring about the people of TO...no one as messed up as he is, thinks clearly about anything other than their next fix or their next press encounter...clue in folks...he is mentally unstable...if you want him to govern you, well...have at it...you get what you deserve.
No one is defending the Ford we are just sick of the overkill by CBC Toronto Star Born Ruff et al .
Mayor of London Ontario on corruption charges for misuse of public funds, Corruption in Quebec politics and Ontario wasting billions on hydro cancellations all receive little or no coverage but the Ford is front and center for 2 months .To me that is overkill .And the pack of braying hounds yelling accusations at him all in the name of unbiased news reporting was sickening regardless of your politics .
You end up with politicians who fuk you over for one reason and one reason only .You believe the CBC and Toronto Star and all the b.s. they sell as news .
The "accusations" as some liked to call them have all been shown to be correct. I know they sound bad, but that is because Ford does a lot of bad things.
You can't blame the media for Ford having way too many skeletons in and out of his closet.
Yay, more folksy sayings.
Any time you want to switch to actually dealing with the facts of this situation, that would be swell.
If you are going to boil this down to petty right vs left politics, you think that the left would have any problem with something that removed Rob Ford from the equation?
that is not how the threads read, in fact there was denial, denial, denial, , just browse through the threads here, malicious, personal, demeaning accusations, because hero boy fell and hard..lack of proof everyone kept belly aching. Yeah okay if that's what passes for good politics on the right, it sure is eye opening.
then say that don't keep trying to refute the truth...
see here you go...
baloney, this forum leans so far right it's worse than the tower of Pisa. If buddy here had been left ya'll would have been yuking it up. Your boy fell...face it.
wow for one reason and one reason only, I can think of five reasons right off and the press isn't on the top five...but there is only one according to you. Well now I have six, without even trying.
I don't think it's so much a matter of defending Ford, at least for myself I have no problem that he could be F**ked up and I have no problem with his smoking crack, but too many people just jump on the band wagon because of what they've been told by the media and that's where the problem lies. The media themselves have got some pretty nefarious habits and ones that are worse than smoking crack, so I just don't necessarily happen to believe everything they spew out. But let's for sake of argument agree that the media has got everything right, to keep dwelling on one or two aspects of Ford when OTHER issues come up is a little overkill. When your kid gets caught playing hooky from school you deal with that misdemeanor but you don't keep bringing it up during all his/her other activities. People should try concentrating more on Ford's good qualities. I'm afraid we've gotten to the point where we let crack define the man.
There, you've homed in on the crux of the matter. We just need to get the prigs out of the issue!
Lol, you still wont accept that YOU were the one who brought up the crack issue in this thread?
It is really despicable to attack other people with zero evidence of wrongdoing just to deflect from someone who has done a ton of things wrong but you happen to like.
If you think the media have actually done something wrong, be specific and say what it is.
And honestly, you keep showing that you don't know much about this situation. Nobody is judging Ford just for doing crack. If you have seen even a small portion of what he has been doing over the past month or two, you would know that.
really, I see moderates as being willing to support the homeless and kids who go hungry...according to conversations I've had here, they are lazy and who cares about the kids because it's all the mother's fault...I see that opinion on here frequently no?
