Some truth is that. Was in Santiago Chile a while back and their subway system is bloody incredible. Stayed downtown and never had to use the rental car.Our city does need a downtown relief line, but we also need extensions to other parts of the city. How about an extension to Pearson? How about an extension to the zoo? I was in Chicago last summer, they have 7 different lines, and they have subway stops that connect to both of their airports, we don't even have a subway stop that connects to one of our airports, how sad is that?
Funny because the left are usually the ones in support of drug use, whereas the right are staunchly against all drug use including marijuana. I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal, but I always vote Conservative because I don't really care about gay marriage, abortion, or marijuana.i really like where the direction of the right is going... superb social values... anyone care that money used to buy and smoke crack, probably ended up paying for guns that were used in crimes?...
And it's not just Santiago, or Chicago, it's NYC, London, Tokyo, and so many other cities.Some truth is that. Was in Santiago Chile a while back and their subway system is bloody incredible. Stayed downtown and never had to use the rental car.
if it's funny then the joke is on Ford, no?Funny because the left are usually the ones in support of drug use, whereas the right are staunchly against all drug use including marijuana.
just marijuana from what i know... and how can Ford not support "hug-a-thug" programs and yet be a customer and friend of those same thugs? the same thugs that terrorize poorer neighbourhoods?Funny because the left are usually the ones in support of drug use, whereas the right are staunchly against all drug use including marijuana.

blame the lack of co-coperartion b'tween the city, province and feds...i can't remeber when we had cons at all three levels....or liberals at all three levels of gov'tAnd it's not just Santiago, or Chicago, it's NYC, London, Tokyo, and so many other cities.
Lets face it. Ford has more demons than a Baptist exorcist exercise. Its not Rob that I worry about its his brother Doug. Doug Ford exemlifies everything wrong in politics. This guy is pure and plain sinister.just marijuana from what i know... and how can Ford not support "hug-a-thug" programs and yet be a customer and friend of those same thugs? the same thugs that terrorize poorer neighbourhoods?
You can't be serious....???? What about leadership, consensus building, attracting investment to the city, helping to shape a vision of the futureFor the mayor of a city, the absolute most important measure of their job performance is their level of fiscal responsibility, nothing else is really important. The mayor can be fat, drunk, addicted to crack and possess any other negative attribute, but if they don't waste tax payers money, they're doing their job and that's all a resident of a city can ask for.
Let's not debate whether or not Rob Ford is a crack smoking corpulent drunkard, there's nothing to dispute about that, he is a crack smoking corpulent drunkard, but the question is, so what? Let's debate his level of fiscal responsibility, that's the only important matter here.
of this city....with fiscal responsibility none of which he has shown...
Well if these programs get these "thugs" off the streets and into jobs, who is going to sell him crack cocaine?just marijuana from what i know... and how can Ford not support "hug-a-thug" programs and yet be a customer and friend of those same thugs? the same thugs that terrorize poorer neighbourhoods?
His brother Doug.Well if these programs get these "thugs" off the streets and into jobs, who is going to sell him crack cocaine?
I agree. However, in the case of the current mayor it is actually rare and newsworthy when he manages to perform one of his duties with some degree of competence.It is a very sad state of affairs when you need to point out the dignified and respectful behaviour of Chief Magistrate of Canada's largest city.
This is news how? It should be par for the course, standard operating procedure.
The reason Ford needs to step down is that he only occasionally does a small part of his job.
damn GB.. "you took my line away"His brother Doug.
(that's what Ford said)
another weak statement from FORD NATIONRob Ford is different then your typical run of the mill politician, and so he must go. He is not a Yes man to the powers that be.
Crack use is being blown out of proportion, but the real motive is strictly political.
