'This is just my personal interest, it does not benefit the city in any way' -- Mayor Ford on why he was not in conflict.

Quote

Ford's stated reasons for ignoring warnings include: Being sure he was right; being political enemies with the people doing the warning.

Quote

Ruby: "Did you understand the words as you were speaking them?" Ford: "No."

Wow.

Oh wow.

I... uh.

Huh.

Yeah, that whole transcript is just amazing. I was just coming to post the bit about "Did you understand the words as you were speaking them?" Ford: "No."

Do you understand the words that are coming out of your mouth???

Today's Ford feed

Nothing especially amazing yet, other than "Mayor Ford: A man too stupid to play dumb".

Welp, Canada closed its embassy in Iran.

So, they finally wore him down.

He's got some big strengths and he's got big weaknesses. But who else have they got, really?

Wow... Dalton McGuinty just resigned with no warning.

No, see, what Obama did was classy. This stinks of opportunism.

Soon, a new class of politician emerged: The Wedding Chaser.

Slinking through shadows, chasing "just married" cars. These hungry, opportunistic men began to stalk unsuspecting newlyweds, not just to their weddings, but to the honeymoon after. Emerging from hot tubs, private beaches, from under heart shaped beds. The photo ops were brief and vicious. A blinding flash of camera. A swift and brutal pat on the back. A wolfish smile. A few quick murmured words, more noise than language. And then they were gone, off to seek new prey.

I'd chase him off. I'd literally run after him to put my shoe up his ass until he made it all the way back to his limo. Let's see his goons stop me. "Bodyguards beat up groom after bizarre PM attempt to ruin wedding photo", how's that for PR, Steve.

So you remember Rob Ford's football team? Apparently they got into a fight and then the police made a TTC bus leave its passengers behind so it could pick them up.

To the surprise of no one, Stephen Harper is one of the least-trusted leaders in this hemisphere.

I don't have a very strong opinion regarding that law either way, but I must admit a positive bias towards anything that pisses off Wal-Mart.

From the comments:

If I was the owner of Walmart, Costco or the Gap, I would close down every single store in that province.

Could you? Please please please please please avec une cerise dessus!

An amusing tid-bit from a sideshow to the ongoing construction/government corruption inquiries in Quebec:

"But we nailed a stripy sign to it! If they run into it anyway it's their own damn fault!"

The best part (other than the picture itself) was this one guy in the comments who's all like "This is an obvious photoshop! Another example of horribly biased journalism!"
