Give it Up, Mr. Mayor.

I know Rob Ford is an easy target right now- oh wait- do you think maybe he always was. And I'm sure this comment will be made many times over (in private at least) if it hasn't already been made in the 7 pages on him and his alleged seedy dealings in the Globe and Mail today but do you mind! Does Rob Ford really need more candy? Doesn't he know it's bad for your health? Oh wait- do we think crack cocaine is healthy?



Mayor Ford's' bodyguard does not look happy
Here he is trick or treating last night.

Marcus Gee wrote an excellent article this morning calling for the mayor's resignation. In the article he confirms that the police are in possession of "the video"- like "Cher" (how did she get to own that  name anyway) it doesn't even need an explanation- everybody knows about this video, the one Ford denied ever existed that allegedly shows him smoking crack cocaine.  There is apparently more damning evidence. Marcus states "It's hard to see how Mr. Ford can explain his way out of this even if he tried."  Which he is not doing. He is very closed lipped about this. For somebody who is obviously good at opening his mouth for some purposes, (just saying), he is pretty darn good at keeping his mouth shut about anything to do with "the video". Marcus goes on to query" How does he explain the suspicious packages Mr. Lisi (who is accused of drug offences and extortion) left for him in his car." Extra lunch perhaps?
I know that was a cheap shot, but Mr. Ford isn't really doing much to help his image or the city of Toronto right now. It's not even funny anymore- it is just embarrassing. Maybe it's time to give some stuff up, Mr. Mayor?

  3. The so-called apology makes it even worse. Now if you say anything you'll be kicking the flawed and apparently contrite (for now) but usually smug everyman. That and calling alcohol "pops." This is the man that controls the city's budget, therefore the budget for policing. And he's known to consort with dealers, organized crime, the stuff the cops are supposed to fight. TV, the radio is bad enough.

  4. And it seems that the media can't get enough of him. He is plastered many times over in the paper. I do think it can't go on.. Ford Nation or not..
