So I’m kinda dumb sometimes and I was wondering if it’s possible to impeach a mayor to get them out of office. So of course I did a Google search on “impeach the mayor”. Now I’m not sure if it’s just because Google searches use your region in the algorithm but

Edwin Current: Impeach Mayor Rob Ford "Quimby"
So I’m kinda dumb sometimes and I was wondering if it’s possible to impeach a mayor to get them out of office. So of course I did a Google search on “impeach the mayor”. Now I’m not sure if it’s just because Google searches use your region …

NDP MP Peter Julian I came across this odd nugget of parliamentary protectionism courtesy of iPolitics.ca – Peter Julian, four-time elected NDP MP for Burnaby-New Westminster, has introduced “An act to support Canadian professional football,” a.k.a. Bill C-360, a.k.a. the Canadian Football Act. The bill acknowledges that Canadian football, as

John Kenneth Galbraith, once said of Richard Nixon: “Our nation stands at a fork in the political road. In one direction lies a land of slander and scare; the land of sly innuendo, the poison pen, the anonymous phone call and hustling, pushing, shoving; the land of smash and grab and

The Grid TO | Budget 2012: Rob Ford’s sleight of hand If Rob Ford hadn’t cut or cancelled all those taxes, we’d have enough to cover the entire budget hole without eliminating a single bus route, library hour or arts grant, without laying off a single staff member, and without
Continue readingTrashy's World: This shows quite clearly…
… how childish and petty the “Mayor” of Toronto can be! Mayor Ford has no obligation to speak to or be interviewed by the Star. That is entirely his choice. However, when it comes to public press releases and public notifications from his office as mayor of all the people,

We certainly are raising a peculiar crop of leaders these days. Since he was elected, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has frozen out the Toronto Star. He has told his staff that they are to have no dealings with the paper — including issuing press releases to the largest daily in

Serves you right (emphasis mine): Mayor Rob Ford’s proposed 2012 budget would close some swimming and wading pools and homeless shelters, cut programs for student nutrition, AIDS prevention and arts, and reduce street sweeping. The budget unveiled by Ford on Monday morning would also raise taxes by 2.5 per cent, hike
Continue readingBlunt Objects: Rob Ford – Feeding the Gravy Train?
The fact that Ford is going to hike taxes on Torontonians by two-and-a-half percent probably doesn’t strike anyone as surprising, since we knew where all of his populist rhetoric that brother Doug Ford and puppet Comrade Gorgio Mammoliti were pushing was going in the end – disaster. I do find

So imagine this. You are an MP of a riding in the middle of Montreal. You’re not any MP, though, you are a Liberal MP. Your party has held this riding since 1940 and not only that, the first time you ran for this riding, you won it with 91%.

The principal of Earl Batty Public School banned spheres of all types this week when a parent suffered a concussion after being hit in the head with a globe. “We’re now teaching that the Earth is flat. And that Rob Ford and dinosaurs walked the Earth together,” said Principal Alice

"Take the high road," muttered a teary-eyed Rob Ford to his losing football team, the Don Bosco Eagles. Too bad Toronto’s mayor knows nothing of the high road. The ethics-challenged buffoon, like his doppleganger Don Cherry, only knows how to bully and mince. But the high road, what’s that?

Sources on Toronto Police Services Board confirmed today that an investigation has been initiated into “libel, slander, and ad hominem attacks” on Toronto co-mayor Rob Ford. Police discovered an intentional effort to paint Mr. Ford as a fitness buff an…

Oh no. I’m sorry to report that Mayor Rob Ford is having a horrible Halloween. First he was terrorized by a 59-year-old comedian in a Princess Warrior costume. Then he called 911. And ran for his life drove to the office. Before the police arrived…

You knew the US media would not let a momentous occasion like Rob Ford’s freakout at Marg Delahunty and 911 dispatchers to go unnoticed. Keith Olbermann is the first US TV pundit to jump on the ridiculousness of Toronto’s wimpy mayor. He won’t be the l…

You have to admire Bill Blair for being a loyal soldier but after the G20 fiasco, does anybody really believe anything Bill Blair says any more?As for the 911 tape being released, I guess with the complaint lodged by the 911 dispatcher, it is inev…

It’s been a little while since my last post. To be honest though, it seems as though there isn’t anything really new and exciting going on and I’ve actually been pretty busy. Or maybe I’m just not keeping up. I’m not sure if it’s just…
