Toronto needs a mayor: will this be a very bad week for Rob Ford?
Right now, lawyers are crowding into a Toronto courtroom for a fairly extraordinary hearing. They are there to gain access to a nearly-500-page police ITO (Information To Obtain) that led to a search warrant. The ITO apparently contains the name “Rob Ford” more than 100 times.
You may have heard of Rob Ford. He’s the Mayor of Toronto, and his personal driver apparently used drugs to get back Ford’s cell phone:
What will be the outcome of the hearing, and discussions with the Crown? We shall see. But my prediction is that Ford’s involvement with criminals will occupy a lot of folks in a lot of newsrooms this week.
C’mon. He’s a regular guy. My daughter lost her cellphone at McDonalds a few weeks ago. Boy, was I mad. That phone costs a lot and she needs to take better care of her things. But when I calmed down I did what every regular guy would do. I sent out a drug dealer with a long history of violent crime to get in back in return for a big bag of pot.
I agree. I mean, what’s the big deal? It’s just a pound of weed, with a street value of a few thousand bucks. Doesn’t everyone do that?
Folks, the taxpayers of Trawno have spoken loud and clear. They wants robocalls, folks. Robocalls, robocalls, robocalls.
… and cellphones … and pounds of weed … and driver felons ….
lol…yep normal for the ford family, good thing the sister wasnt the mayor.
Now I know where I went wrong, I sent the guy from the bus stop with a dimebag and he brought me back a BlackBerry.
I guess most of us in Toronto would accept 3000$ worth of week if we found a cell phone and returned it. That’s what normal people do right?
So what? For the core of Crack Nation the fantasy that is their golden cow is unaffected by trivialities.
“Uh, did Rob ask Lissi to barter his phone for a pound of weed? C’mon, that’s a lot of weed” and didn’t Stalin make deals over vodka martini’s. You pinkos never bring that up, does ya!
Except for the life of privilege, political access, drug use, drug pusher friends, junkie relatives, social failure, educational failure, political failure, he’s one of us.
I don’t care if he smoked weed, crack and killed a guy. He’s better than any commie pinko left winger. He kept my taxes low and saved the city a bazillion dollars. That’s a lot of gravy.
There there Michael, just let’s change your diaper and get you a cookie
The fact that you don’t care if he killed someone speaks volumes about the morality of people who vote for Ford.
The fact you that didn’t pick up on the obvious sarcasm/satire of that comment speaks volumes about the oblivious earnestness of those who believe Ford is just some odd aberration.
I think is is spoofing yer typical Ford Nayshunal ….
… and he just raised your taxes for the next 30 years for three subway stops… Subways, Subways, Subways! – The guy’s a bully.
So, if i trade a pound of weed for a cell phone, that’s actually considered a sale, is it not? I wonder if that was included in the original charges?
Rob needs Rehab, when he gets out, he will retreive cell phones the normal way, by phoning the number and asking politely for it back:)
I, for one, am appalled that Ford would try to offer a pound of weed to get his cell phone back. What does he think? That we working schmoes are only good enough for weed? That crack is only for the “upper crust”? Please. Mr Ford, no self-respecting citizen would accept your pitiful attempt, at least offer your drug of choice for payment.
The issue is that Ford thought that the poeple who had the phone would respond better to week than cash. Nice company he hangs out with.
When is next municipal election – this Rob ford stuff is really getting tired ..most of folks I talk to in the big smoke of toronto ..many of whom voted for him, are embarassed to have him as mayor, cant believe he would win again…
Rob ford is simply another example of, just about anyone can get elected in Toronto, if they have enough spin doctors and money. Hey, its a job. Unless Mr. Ford it thrown in prison or some such thing, I’m sure he will win the next election. b.C. elected Christie Clark, Canada elected harper. There is no accounting for taste.
Isnt it funny the minute Rob Ford tries to lower peoples wages in government they want him out…No politition
deserves the pay they are getting… That’s where all our money goes…So they want him out of office. Great smear campaign if u ask me…We all make mistakes we are human after all
