Re: OT: Canadian Politics
This is what we should have been going for. Instead we get pussy ass politicians who refuse to accept the fact that we need to pay in order to get the service we need.
It's also interesting to note that we would have had the Eglinton W subway running if Harris hadn't killed it
At least the TTC is aware of what the goal should be.

Re: OT: Canadian Politics
That's absolutely outstanding.
I would wager that a substantial portion of the city's traffic, if not a majority of it, is the result of commuters hailing from the outlying suburban areas (Newmarket, Aurora, Richmond Hill, Barrie, etc.) coming into the city.
If you provided for subway stops all the way into Richmond Hill, you probably eliminate a ton of the congestion that's caused on the 404 artery by providing the suburban residents with an alternative means of transportation.

I had a good chuckle at that one. Even some of the more hardcore guys that workout at my gym don't stay for that long. If you're doing resistance training and you stay beyond an hour any benefit past that point (if any) is negligible.
And no, sitting on one's ass does not count. It may add to gym time, but if you're taking ten minute breaks in between sets of course you're going to be in the gym for a long time. Robbie doesn't seem to get that.
He probably spends half his time at the juice bar. :lol

Re: OT: Canadian Politics
What is Ford drinking?!?! He has been drinking none stop. A lot of water, then about 4 glasses from a blue plastic cup and then a Tim Hortons. All within 30 minute span.
He must have been watching Liar Liar last night and is hoping land a bathroom break.

Re: OT: Canadian Politics
Rip the guy all you want for his shady personal dealings and drug use - but why the hell are people putting a microscope to how much he is drinking (water, soda, coffee, whatever) while in council?
Re: OT: Canadian Politics
Wouldn't surprise me if he's going hard core into thermogenics and other supplements to kick start his weight loss attempts (and quite possibly kill him).
Also it just occurred to me, how much do you want to bet that the medical advice he's supposedly getting is Dr. Bernstein's weight loss clinics?

Amendments coming forward "to tighten" motion. Cllr Robinson says Mayor wouldn't be reduced to cllr budgt. 700k she says.
Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
So Mayor could keep more than 3 staff..maybe 6 or 7. Told most staff want out though.
Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
Robinson says changes to motion in response to letter from Mayor Ford's lawyer.
Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
Di Giorgio: is Mayor being told he is no longer head of council? City staff: no that is not being considered.
Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
Cllr Ford sparring with city legal staff. Has mayor's conduct breached council's code? Legal: not for us to answer.
Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
Cllr Ford: this should be going to accountability officers not this kangaroo court. Ainslie heckles, Mayor makes drinking and driving motion
Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
How many staff could Mayor keep with new figure. Would staff have options? Clerk: yes, but lots of details to work out.
Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
The budget figure proposed-- 712k represents 40 pct of budget. Would be enough for about 8 staff city manager estimates.
Jamie Strashin @StrashinCBC
Staff says Mayor would remain on executive as member but not the chair if this motion passes. Would Mayor have to serve on a cmte?

I cannot believe that Mayor Ford made that drinking and driving motion to the one counsellor. How can he possibly do that when he is on tape drinking and driving, as well as admitting it. Shameful.

Is he imitating himself? What a ****ing moron he is. Utterly brain dead *******. This goes beyond him clearly being an addict. He is just a down right low class, immature, arrogant prick at his core.

IMO one of the required skills to be a leader is being able to handle adversity. Ford just keeps making it worse for himself.
You can screw up, but if you can't settle down the storm you just aren't qualified to be mayor.
