Fisherman Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Saved a pile of money for one half of the city that's now using a different contract for refuse collection. Managed to get the subway extended. Probably the only mayor that's got free worldwide advertising...
kickingfrog Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 The private garbage collection? No one else could have got that subway done eh? No sound bites please.
Renegade67 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Turn on the CBC today and they were actually talking about something else! They spent a minute or two covering the drone killing of Hakimullah Mehsud who was one of the most wanted and feared men in Pakistan with a $5 million U.S. bounty on his head. Then they went right back to attacking Ford, then the senators. Makes me want to hurl. Channel changed and just enjoyed the one of the Beasley's take a trophy whitetail. Now thats entertainment.
John Bacon Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 No one else could have got that subway done eh? I am sure there are others that could have got it done. But he is the one who did get it done.
kickingfrog Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 And with an infinite number of monkeys... ...Why pick the drunk bully?
John Bacon Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 And with an infinite number of monkeys... ...Why pick the drunk bully? By no means do I consider him to be a great mayor. He wasn't my first choice for mayor last election; it is highly unlikely that I will vote for him next election. Having said that, he has done some good things; and I would still take him over Miller.
cram Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 The private garbage collection? No one else could have got that subway done eh? No sound bites please. Garbage collection was a good change. Miller was WAY too soft on this issue. . There were other cuts. The guy may be an embarassing mess, but it's not like everything he did was terrible..
Freshtrax Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Hey man the people voted, he was picked. I bet he would have got allot more done if every bleeding heart liberal in the city want trying to get him fired all the time. Let the man do his job. Cut spending.
Joey Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 What irks me the most is the circus this has turned into. Leave the man alone. If it is true, he's not the first, and certainly won't be the last, politician to do drugs. And I'd like to add, he obviously doesn't do alot, or he'd be thin
Fisherman Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 I still think Mel was more entertaining. Hmm, and why didn't Mel get the heave-ho when his wife was alledgedly caught for shoplefting..
FUSION Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) The truthfull speach he needs to give... LOL! Edited November 2, 2013 by FUSION
Twocoda Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) I think part of his appeal is ...he is one of the people and not a stuffed shirt sitting behind closed doors to further his career...yeah he seems to have some issues but that comes with the lime lite.....Areosmith /Stones etc all had extreme drug problems but they still managed to continue with their careers for the greater good of music...the only difference is ....they didnt lie about it ...so for the lies....Ford should be ejected (even though they cant) same as the goof ball in Calgary hosting a speech to his cult.. Greed is worse than addiction in my mind...Greed effects everyone in the country...addiction affects the person and only immediate people in his/her life...Honestly ...if i was forced to be Mayor of Toronto...i wouldnt waste my time with crack...i would be doing the good stuff...one would have to in order to look after the center of the universe known as Toronto Edited November 2, 2013 by Twocoda
moxie Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 He is as real as one could be. Not a socialistic putz like others that have preceded him. He has put Toronto and its councils self destructive nature on the world stage and shown how small time Toronto has been, currently is and forever will be. I hope he skates away on this one and makes it to the end of his term only to crush all opponents. Especially the most leftist, public teat sucker of them all, The Chow. Entertaining to say the least.
jbailey Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 you make me want to vomit -- take it back to the toronto sun forums
jbailey Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 he has actually done NOTHING, everything has been projected numbers of what "would" have been spent..
FloatnFly Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 it does not matter if he has a drinking problem, it does not matter if he presumably has a drug problem, the fact thats hes lying about both will hurt him a lot more in the long run
Twocoda Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Our former Attorney General of Ontario was a functioning alcoholic (in his mind) and he got away with his personal agenda of Breed Specific Legislation up until he ran over a bike courier before he was ousted...then we as a private society get stuck trying to fix his boondoggle...Our system is flawed
ehg Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 it does not matter if he has a drinking problem, it does not matter if he presumably has a drug problem, the fact thats hes lying about both will hurt him a lot more in the long run It almost doesn't matter if he has a drug problem either. So far what has been shown is just tip of the iceberg, The senior homicide investigators are still involved in compiling evidence. This has been more of a murder investigation actually. FORD MORE YEARS from jail cell. Just watch.
Renegade67 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 The most practical solution is to let him finish his term and vote someone else in. Get onto the business at hand, not waste all of his term defending himself. The idea of digging hoping to find a reason to incarcerate him will only cost US money. What a waste of oxygen....
ch312 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Considering all of the attempts in the past to get rid of Ford have been complete lies and Bull, I think we should all wait until the facts are put fourth and the court makes a decision whether he is guilty or not. As for the chief of police *cough* lying d-bag *cough*, he should have been fired a long time ago. Isn't it odd that in a country where we're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty people are relying on "facts" from the media, which is the last place anyone should get facts from, to label the man guilty....
Steve Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 as an "outsider" who does not work or reside in Toronto, the chief of police looks worse, and has done worse, than the subject Ford appears to have done himself.
kickingfrog Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 as an "outsider" who does not work or reside in Toronto, the chief of police looks worse, and has done worse, than the subject Ford appears to have done himself. Where a police chief lives is relevant? And the Toronto police chief doesn't work in the city? We love scandal (and so does the media) so please give the details as to what the chief had/has done that is "worse" then what some claim the mayor has done?
Steve Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 sorry, I meant i'm the outsider...not the chief of police....
kickingfrog Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 sorry, I meant i'm the outsider...not the chief of police.... The . and the , are too close together on the key board. What has the chief done?
