OT: American Politics

Re: OT: Canadian Politics

I don't understand why the guy would want to stay on as Mayor and subject himself to this. Where is the benefit.
 
Re: OT: Canadian Politics

Still showing this on CNN. Yeah, this is really embarrassing.

They go to commercial break and host says "I can't believe what I'm hearing here."

Toronto city council is being broadcast live on CNN, which they usually reserve for natural disasters, and wait I see their point

Mammoliti says he's been trying to get rid of "gangbangers" in Ward 7. Ford: "I am not part of gangbangers."

Mihevc: Media saying you're not cooperating with police - correct? Ford: Yes - my lawyer says "do not talk to the police."

Daniel Dale @ddale8
Mihevc: Doesn't that send wrong signals to community we always ask to cooperate? Ford: "I can only repeat what Mr. Dennis Morris told me."

Daniel Dale @ddale8
Ford: "On the advice of my counsel...he has said do NOT talk to the police."
 
Re: OT: Canadian Politics

@thekeenanwire: Rob Ford: "I am a positive role model."

Daniel Dale @ddale8
Ford on whether there's more coming: "There might be a coat hanger left in my closet - I don't know what's left."
 
Re: OT: Canadian Politics

Host on CNN: "I kid you not, when we were on commercial break... the mayor of Toronto said he is a positive role model for down and out kids."

She is beside herself.
 
Re: OT: Canadian Politics

LOLOLOLOL. "I'm gonna continue to do it for 5 more years".

He thinks he's getting re-elected.

"I'll put my record against anyone else in this chamber".

LOL.

Ivor Tossell @ivortossell
"I support the police more than anyone!" says the mayor, pointedly adding, "The front line police." (He just won't talk to them.)

If this were on pay-per-view Toronto would get solid gold subways

I'm in Amman Jordan watching the Mayor of Toronto. So Canada is finally leading the news. None of this makes sense. #cdnpoli

Councillor DeB asks Ford if he's ever "assaulted" any members of his staff. Ford pauses for a while. Eventually says he doesn't think so.

Signs you might be an addict: you refer to your moments of sobriety as being “straight”.

Sky News in the UK running a live stream of Toronto City Council. This must be a first. #cbc

Doug Ford: "Have you ever done illicit drugs, Minnan-Wong? I KNOW THE ANSWER." Rob Ford yells for Minnan-Wong to answer.

Daniel Dale @ddale8
Doug Ford: "Have you ever drank? Have you ever driven, Councillor Minnan-Wong?" His mic was cut off a while ago, but he keeps going.

Chris Selley @cselley
Someone says to turn Doug Ford's mic off. "It IS off," says the speaker. Ha.

Daniel Dale @ddale8
Doug Ford causes his second recess of the day. Then he says something like: "Don't pretend that you're a Christian when you aren't."


Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
Cllr Ford has to physically restrain his brother as he strides towards Cllr Minnan Wong. Crazy scene. Council on recess.

Will @natnewswatch
Doug Ford loses control

Nicki Doyle @Nicki_Doyle
This is so off the rails.

Pundits' Guide @punditsguide
This is the definition of a complete and utter shit-show. What an embarrassment.
