More questions for Councillor Ford

Councillor Doug Ford the enabler: What's all this about "judge, jury and executioner?"

Though he could not state why he was disappointed, I thought it was obvious Chief Blair was disappointed in what Mayor Rob Ford SAID, because he was not surprised to see what Mayor Ford was doing.

Now, what about progress on tying up the loose ends in the murder case of Anthony Smith?

A prayer for Rob Ford

O God of the Universe:

May you be close beside our mayor today. Give him strength and hope and a clear mind to deal with what is ahead of him. Open his heart to those around him who love him and care about him. Help him to experience the joy of living, the blessings of abundance around him and healing love. May you walk beside each of his family members, his friends and his co-workers giving them strength and hope. May you bring hope and healing to the people of Toronto. Be especially close to those who are hurt and bereft surrounding them with your restorative love as we hold them in the light.

 Let it be this way today.

On Toronto Mayory Rob Ford's increase of support

Forget about the substance abuse and the drug dealing for a moment. What else happened here? The three media members told us that on the video they were shown racist and homophobic comments were made by a man who was apparently identified as Rob Ford. I suspect this is the source of Chief Blair's "disappointment" and would certainly be grounds for council to call for his resignation. Then, there were the shooting deaths of young men. THIS IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT here. Ford appeared in photos with these men and that appearance is what should be concerning people. But, all and sundry are going after the substance abuse behaviours which has obfuscated what the city's constituents need to remember when forming an opinion. This is why they have become more protective of "their" mayor.

Rob "effing" Ford

The mayor who flipped a bird to a mother and her child after they pointed out he was using a cellphone while driving his vehicle is now national news. Rob Ford, as many federal and provincial politicos have enjoyed, had the privilege of getting the ambush from 22Minutes' "Marg Princess Warrior" (Mary Walsh) one morning and refused to play along.  He called 911 TWICE to have the comedienne and her crew removed from his driveway and hurled obscenities at the dispatchers because they weren't moving fast enough to his liking. Dear Mayor Ford, don't you remember your vow to cut the gravy at Toronto City Hall? This is what happens when you cut into bone. And, that's not funny at all.
