Goodbye Ford Nation

[boodog]

..................Olivia has a brain..................................The only way I see an NDP candidate winning this election is to give the people what they want .............Olivia is sharp enough to know, that even though people don't want to see their taxes raised, if she gives them what they really want.................. more SP, then she has a good chance.

The important stuff.

If Chow gives the voters more SP's she will be in?

Yeah, the important stuff about coked-out lack of judgement.

So Rob Ford wrote another letter of reference for another one of his convict friends

Rob Ford penned a character reference for his assistant football coach’s sentencing for dangerous driving and assaulting a police officer, court documents reveal, marking at least the third time he has written a letter of support for a convict while in public office.

The letter, composed on behalf of Payman Aboodowleh in 2009, confirms Mr. Ford knew of the volunteer coach’s violent history when he invited him to work with high-school athletes. As with his other letters, Mr. Ford’s acclamation of Mr. Aboodowleh was written on official City of Toronto stationery, sparking concern from a veteran Ontario Court judge who questioned whether the then-councillor may have misused his position of authority.
...
Mr. Aboodowleh pleaded guilty to his 2009 charges for assaulting a police officer and dangerous driving. His sentence included 35 days in jail, two years of probation and a five-year prohibition on possessing firearms.

According to an agreed statement of facts, police officers spotted Mr. Aboodowleh driving erratically on April 1, 2007, running through three red lights, swerving in and out of lanes, and accelerating to 140 kilometres an hour on a residential road when officers tried to pull him over. He was arrested at his home.

At the police station, Mr. Aboodowleh yelled out an obscenity when two officers searched him. He curled his fingers into a fist, raised his right arm and charged toward a detective. He was subdued before he could strike the officer.

Mr. Aboodowleh’s lawyer told the court his client was at an Etobicoke house party before encountering police. Mr. Aboodowleh, whose previous convictions include assaulting his mother and brother, contended his pop had been spiked with the drug LSD.

Thug Mayor 4 Lyfe y'all.

Why not?

What I am suggesting is that the only chance for the Left to win this mayor election is to not talk about stuff like budget, economics, infrastructure, garbage collection, because the left in this city has no creditibility left at all on those topics.

They should re-visit their traditional role which is to subvert traditional norms in society.

Ford Nation decides to launch vicious attack on new political target – Hollywood’s Kevin Spacey

Rob Ford says he wouldn't know Kevin Spacey 'if he ran him over'

...while driving drunk.

With the 2014 mayoral race heating up with the long-awaited arrival of Olivia Chow, the Fords have launched an incendiary attack on their most powerful rival to date — Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey.

Mayor Rob Ford, who claimed he wasn’t an international celebrity until shortly before he appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! program in Los Angeles last week, had the latest episode of the YouTube series Ford Nation nearly entirely devoted to discussing Hollywood celebrities, Hollywood parties and Hollywood feuds.

Councillor Doug Ford was furious with Spacey after the actor mocked the mayor when they both appeared on Kimmel’s show on March 2. But Ford did not address Spacey’s mocking and instead attacked him for what allegedly happened backstage.

“He’s an arrogant SOB and I’ll tell you why,” Councillor Ford said about Spacey on an episode of Ford Nation entitled “Kevin Spacey”, released Friday morning. “Any actor who makes a living off the people that watch his shows — you can’t take a picture with him?

“We were told you can’t take a picture, you can’t speak to him. Who does this character think he is? He thinks he’s God?”

Mayor Ford didn’t believe in the deity of Spacey because the greatest trick Kevin Spacey ever pulled was convincing Rob Ford he doesn’t exist.

“I don’t watch movies so I wouldn’t know him if I ran him over,” Mayor Ford said in a curious choice of words for someone who has had more than his fair share of vehicular controversy.

Can't tell if these attention whoring clowns are running for political office or trying to get their own reality show.

Also it boggles my mind that there is a man in his 40s anywhere who hasn't seen The Usual Suspects.
So Ford doesn't watch movies, votes against funding for TIFF, yet claims he was in Hollywood trying to something something movie business in Toronto. And now they're attacking...Kevin Spacey. Because he had the good sense to not want to have his picture taken with a crackhead.
As for Campaign Manager Doug's usual easily-disproven bullshit (that Spacey thinks he's too good to pose for pictures) , there was a quick response:

Ford is a noisy fart in a crowded elevator.

YES! Some norms need to be subverted!

Olivia Chow says she smoked pot "a little bit" when she was younger, including in her early days as a Toronto school-board trustee in the mid to late 1980s.

The Toronto mayoral candidate and former New Democrat MP told Evan Solomon, host of CBC Radio's The House, that she smoked marijuana when she was a student.

"Well, when I was in arts school, yes, I've smoked marijuana a little bit," Chow told Solomon.

"That's never been my thing. Other than the antihistamine that I occasionally need to take because of hay fever … other than that, no [drugs]."

Asked whether she ever inhaled when she was a New Democrat MP, Chow said no.

"Not as a member of Parliament. I think in my early days when I was a school trustee. I think that's a long, long time ago," she said.

"It's really not my thing. And you know, back in the old days when I was in arts school in university, yeah a little bit, but I'd rather work out. I'd rather go swimming and hiking and cycling, and I find that I need to be in very good shape, so that's why drugs is never really my thing."

She's just like me! I used to smoke pot (more than a little), but now prefer to swim, bike and run. :dance:

The more I find out, the more I like her and her norm-defying life. And her ability to communicate clearly.

Rob Ford Praises Olivia Chow

“Those Oriental people work like dogs. They work their hearts out. They are workers non-stop. They sleep beside their machines. That’s why they’re successful in life. I went to Seoul, South Korea, I went to Taipei, Taiwan. I went to Tokyo, Japan. That’s why these people are so hard workers (sic). I’m telling you, the Oriental people, they’re slowly taking over.”

Yep yep yep. Thank you to Councilor Rob Ford, for talking up Olivia Chow.

 

[oldjones]

Thanks for the Ford quote. Once again (long ago actually) Rob proves that the best thing he could do for his record and reputation is never speak publicly again and leave office and the public sphere as soon as he can.

He likely could have been quite content and useful living on his trust fund and quietly building a football foundation for kids; too bad his folks could only see him taking over the other family business he had no talent for.
