    Yes, he personally returns phone calls when citizens complain about things like snow not being cleared from their streets. Not a practical approach for a city of almost 5 million, nor does it truly help things when you divert busy city crews to go help poor old Agnes. Still a nice attitude to have in principle though, that every citizen should receive high priority attention from their government when they need it (unless they're homeless, in which case he doesn't give a **** about them). That and he's running a surplus at a time when many parts of Canada continue to run endless deficits and expect endless bailouts from other parts of the country.

    @ Captain Kremmen,

    Yes. Nothing but good things to say about him from most I know.

    It is funny that the bloke has put himself in such a hard seat, and I recommend to all future Mayors to watch what you do on videotape.

    Okay. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE CITY IN QUESTION. I DID AND WILL VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN.

    We needed a Tough Guy/Hard Ass on the bench to reduce government spending against roles protected by various Unions. If Toronto elects a wimp into office all the concessions Rob Ford got from the various parties will be moot as he/she will cave to the threats of the Unions.

    The Council wanted a LRT system that would help our transit, yet Rob Ford said "No", "The people want subways"... This proved to be true and eventually the LRT people went away.

    I have met Rob Ford.

    He has slashed government spending and has already fulfilled his campaign promises to that end.

    - Lets start with he is doing this for free. He is rich enough from his families label company that he really does not need the work.

    - Ford had donated $20,000 to equip the Don Bosco team and started a foundation to fund teams at other schools struggling to field football teams.[18] Ford continued coaching after becoming Toronto mayor and was criticized for involving his political aides in the Don Bosco program and the football foundation. His fund-raising for the football foundation on city letterhead led to his being sued for conflict of interest.[17] Wikipedia

    (CAN ANYBODY HERE SAY THEY HAVE DONATED $20 000 plus their time to help youth?), yet this thread stands in condemnation of the man.


    The guy is a HERO to a lot here ...

    Wow.. A guy who saves a 35% Tax increase that also has donated over $20k and time to Football youth...

    That's pretty good guy to me.

    also wikipedia...

    Yep.. still sounds like a good mayor to me...

    He achieved 47% of all votes in his election.

    If you want to attack Mayors why not look at Detroit! Canada has Windsor attached to Detroit by a bridge, yet our side of the city runs perfectly.

    This Mayor MADE A LOT OF ENEMIES by CUTTING A LOT OF GOVERNMENT SPENDING. HE IS A TARGET.

    He even investigated the Crack Problem personally.

    TORONTO HAS POLITICAL OPPONENTS WITH HAND IN COOKIE JAR. ROB FORD IS OUR ONLY DEFENSE.

    He has been fought by them and the left since before he took office with a historical amount of votes.

    HE IS THE MOST HONEST POLITICIANS WHEN IT COMES TO TAXPAYERS. Toronto has lowest Residential taxes in North America. This will change if they manage to oust Ford.

    I have thought of suing City Council myself... Can they remove a Mayor I elected because they want their expense budgets back?

    Toronto needs Rob Ford.

    He did not NEED to confess to drinking or Crack Use. He was honest. A video proves nothing.

    If you do not live in Toronto then get your facts straight from Letterman before you comment.

    He has killed Government gravy train spending

    He has hard lined a Subway deal.

    He is a fantastic and trustworthy mayor. Has no drug offenses/arrests. He helps youth. He is doing this for the city and not for him.

    The media has rousted some inbred neanderthals who know little of Toronto Politics. Toronto is so backwards we ship our garbage over 1000 miles to the United States because we are too neighbor friendly to build our own dump. Yes; all my old underwear is shipped to the United States for dumping. We need a Rob Ford in Office next term to fix that also.

    Mayors need to do One thing. Their Job. Rob Ford has already fulfilled his campaign promises, and much more. He is a Canadian Hero.

    Black kid gets murdered and you support his murderer because you have deemed the black kid to be a marijuana dealer.

    White dude smokes crack cocaine, has dodgy dealings with a drug trafficker whom he hired because he is his friend and is payed for with your tax dollars, whereupon they then set up secret clandestine meetings in the woods at night, petrol stations, a man who is being accused of extortion and who was filmed leaving envelopes in the Mayor's car at pre-arranged dodgy meetings.. A mayor who has threatened to murder people, who invited prostitutes into his tax funded office, who makes a public spectacle of himself at most of the things he attends on an official capacity - you are paying him to attend these things and he goes there and gets stoned and drunk each time.. Not to mention his sexual harassment and groping of female staff and his obscene behaviour. A Mayor who visited a crack house, took photos with crack dealers, one of whom was gunned down and murdered shortly after and the other two were arrested for his murder and who drove him there and took the photo? His drug trafficking friend and driver of course.. And who then went went around trying to exort and threaten people about the video of Ford smoking crack cocaine? His drug trafficking friend and driver. And there appears to be more police evidence of Ford doing even more drugs in February... Him you support and say you will vote for him again.

    Tell me, how does it feel to know that your hard earned tax dollars are being used by your Mayor to pay known drug traffickers to drive his fat arse around?

    And it seems Ford's connections with traffickers doesn't just end with the previous friend and driver. It carries on to the new driver and others as well.. Seems his fitness trainer is a convicted drug trafficker too.


    A trainer who consulted with Rob Ford as recently as Tuesday night on a health “game plan” was convicted in the U.S. for steroid trafficking and is currently in the midst of a 12-year ban from coaching in Canada for administering steroids.

    The Toronto mayor has repeatedly said he is working with a team of health professionals following his admission of smoking crack while in a “drunken stupor.” Ford has not specified what that team includes other than to say it includes advice about his weight and he is not in an alcohol treatment program. Ford’s criminal lawyer, Dennis Morris, has said the mayor is spending up to two hours a day exercising, has revamped his diet and has received support from a medical doctor.

    Valerio Moscariello, the owner of Team Body Pro Athletics, tweeted a picture Tuesday night of himself in the gym with Ford with the captions: “Toronto Mayor Rob Ford joins forces to get in shape with “Teambodypro.com” and “#teambodypro Toronto mayor Rob Ford killing him on cardio today! Man on a mission.”

    [HR][/HR]

    Moscariello is also linked to the Ford’s office through aspiring bodybuilder Jerry Agyemang, who Ford hired as a driver earlier this month. Agyemang is also a member of Mutant Nation, winning its “Monthly Mutant of the Month” in October 2011. He is also featured in pictures on the body supplement company’s website.

    Agyemang was previously a security guard at City Hall.

    Moscariello since-deleted Twitter reveals that he was speaking of training Ford as early as November 16. He referenced training the mayor in a conversation with Canadian porn actress Nikki Benz.

    “What times are your show? I’m calling Mr. Ford now,” Moscariello said to Benz on Twitter last Saturday.

    “Yo, @TomayordFord, come to Whiskey A GoGo tonight. @ryanmclane and I have shots of Remy Martin waiting for you. #416,” Benz’s verified account responded.

    “You seriously want me to bring him? I just started training him,” Moscariello responded.

    Benz appeared at the Whiskey A Go-Go on November 14, 15 and 16, according to the adult nightclub’s webpage [Warning: link includes nudity].

    [HR][/HR]


    Moscariello pleaded guilty to possession with the intent to distribute anabolic steroids in October 2005, according to United States Attorney for the District of Nevada.

    “Valerio Moscareillo, age 31, of Toronto, Canada, pleaded guilty in August to the felony offense. He admitted to unlawfully possessing 27 units (270 cc) of anabolic steroids, Schedule III controlled substances, and to operating a website at [www.juiceworld.com], that was accessible to the general public for the purpose of distributing these anabolic steroids,” a November 1, 2005 press release said.

    “In February 2005, U.S. Postal Inspectors tracked a steroid distribution operation to the defendant’s residence in Henderson. In June 2005, law enforcement officers executed a search of the residence and seized a quantity of anabolic steroids, including Primobolon Depot, Deca Nadrolone Decanoate, and Trenbolone Acetate. They also seized “buy-owe” sheets, materials such as small bottles and syringes consistent with the repackaging of these substances, and approximately $16,000 in cash.”




    Man on a mission indeed.. Ford is a popular man.

    @ Bells,

    You are trolling on a wrong thread, and you do not even attempt to disguise your attempts to hijack this thread to discuss Trayvon Martin in yet another place for your tired tirades. If you cannot understand the threads topic ask. Don't just type whatever pops into your mind.

    I could care less if Drug Dealing was Trayvons only indiscretion, but apparently the moron had a large amount of buying and selling illegal guns to children on his text messages. If Rob Ford bought or sold illegal firearms to children then I would also like to see him pushing daisies.

    Yeah Trayvon was a wannabe Gangsta. Guess that ended badly. Stupid Trayvon. What a MORON!!!

    @ Quinnsong,

    What driver? Huh? Is that in reference to how Rob Ford has refused city drivers even though he is allowed one as Mayor? I'm not sure why you bring that up, but it is nice to know he is trying to save our city money this way.

    Here is a link about it..
    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-mayor-rob-ford-refuses-driver-1.1182064

    His Money Saving Gestures are great though. I am not sure why you are now supporting him, but he is a great Mayor.


    @ Quinnsong regarding TRAYVON,

    Huh? Please take all your meds before responding. Huh?

    I don't know what idiot fool could think Trayvon Martin was anything other than a violent stoned drug/gun dealing wannabe gangsta. He had gold teeth and Tattoos he thought were intimidating to his victims that he liked to fight. The Gold Teeth made him look fierce. He beat up a guy for snitching but was mad because there was not enough blood. He even attacked his school bus driver. In the weeks before his death Trayvon was involved in multiple illegal gun deals and even suggested several people share a gun. Trayvons own mother kicked him out of her house while he was suspended and that is why he was even in Sanford Florida. Trayvon was suspended from school for Graffiti and had been expelled for owning burglary tools and possessing stolen Jewelry (Returned to a home burgled near the school).
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXWlquZ-e_E

    This was all shown with proof (Try searching Bing now) in appropriate thread. THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE THREAD. Dingbats! You can find your own proof this time around. The courts and me agree Trayvon deserved death, any other loser view is just a loser view.

    Mayor Ford Rocks, errr.

    I mean

    Mayor Ford is awesome. Cities like Detroit might be around today if they had a Rob Ford in power.

    Sorry but this is the perfect thread to show what a fecking hypocrite you are! Calling Ford a Canadian Hero when if I really wanted to sensationalize Ford's behavior like you do Martin's in a tit for tat, Ford would come out looking like more of a thug than Martin. Hmmm, Quinnsong wonders how many sets of white sheets Kwhill has in his closet?

    Just as you don't attempt to hide your hypocrisy and racism on this site.

    What driver? The driver and his close friend (by his own admittance), whom he hired to and is payed for by your tax dollars. The very same driver who was under police investigation for drug trafficking and the exact same driver who then attempted to threaten and used extortion when Ford found out that there was a video of him smoking crack - to get possession of the video before it fell into the hands of the media or police. Little did Ford know that the police had the driver under extensive surveillance and have a plethora of video and images of Ford's dodgy dealings with the driver and other drug dealers and crime gangs. And the very same driver Ford tried to get out of jail and pressure the prosecution and police by writing letters of recommendation on his Mayoral letterhead to try to sway the prosecutor to not press charges. It has been reported extensively in this thread and supported by links. Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with them. And that's just with his now jailed driver who is waiting his trial for drug trafficking, extortion and a few other criminal charges.

    Ford's latest driver put Ford in contact with yet another convicted drug dealer to work as his fitness trainer.

    Ford has been implicated to having some weird connection with criminal gangs and drug traffickers and murderers. I get it. He's a political conservative. And your little heart flutters at the thought.

    But he's a crook and a liar.

    @ Quinnsong,

    Yes. I realize the losers of the Zimmerman threads are upset and think anybody who does not like that Turd Trayvon Martin is a racist, but that smug arrogant little prick got what was coming to him.

    He Beat up people for fun and sold guns to kids. So if you suggest all Black People do this and deserve my "Hate" then it is you who is a racist. I have many black friends who do not sell guns to children.

    My racism.

    My best friend now is a Black Lady, and my best friend as a teen was a Black guy. I have co-authored a book with my Lady Friend.

    My Wife is Chinese and my kids are mixed Asian/White.

    When I first heard of Trayvon I thought "poor Kid", but when Obama made some comments I entered the Zimmerman thread and quickly learned this kid was a hoodlum who sold illegal guns to kids.

    @ Quinnsong,

    So if you think I am racist because I dislike kids who sell guns to other kids then that makes you an idiot. Racism is about skin color. I would hate Trayvon Martin as much if he was white. Selling guns to kids results in THOUSANDS of kid deaths every year. I have kids that I hope never see guns.

    Oh yeah!

    Now about the topic of this Thread. I was not the Only person voting for Ford. If he got ousted now it would be a travesty, but he has already fulfilled his campaign promises and more. It would not be the end.

    At the end of the day Ford has already done what I wanted him to.

    At the end of the day Zimmerman has also done a good deed.

    I am totally happy.

    @ Kwhil,

    My problem with you is you are willing to give a white man with the world as his oyster the benefit of the doubt and you do not give the same benefit to a poor black kid from a racist part of our country the same benefit. Martin a teenager had to live on the mean streets of America while your mayor a white man sought out those elements.

    It is indeed odd that posts from Zimmerman supporters almost universally devolve to personal attacks in which they support violence towards others. They seem to think violence is a good way to solve problems. (Perhaps that's a consequence of supporting a guy who seems to prefer violence to reason.)

    @ Everyone...

    Great jobs keeping thread on track.

    ROB FORD DOES NOT SELL GUNS TO CHILDREN. That is the difference between him and Trayvon Martin.

    @ Captain Kremmen and Billvon,

    We spent a lot of hours putting together nice posts in the older thread. Some racist vigilante has started this thread however to again try to make the innocent )proven by law) (Note to morons: YES THE F'IN LAW SAYS "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY" so ZIMMERMAN IS INNOCENT ACCORDING TO THE COURTS AND JUSTICE SYSTEM.).

    So some racist vigilante has started this thread condemning an innocent person who has already suffered to much at the hands of this Gun/Drug dealing thug.

    @ Captain Kremmen,

    Trayvon Martins Cellphone records STRONGLY INDICATE he bought and sold illegal handguns.

    Back to Trayvons Phone Extractions.. READ YOURSELF
    1.DEALING FOR ILLEGAL GUNS,
    Taken From Extraction Report #1


    @ Captain Kremmen,
    This is the gun dealing CHILD you are defending. Maybe one of the guns he sold will shoot someone you know (Knock wood)?
    2.VIOLENT ASSAULTS (PLURAL),

    Taken From Extraction report # 1
    3. DRUG ABUSE, on his own phone texts.

    Taken From extraction Report # 1
    and also:
    Was he kicked out of his own moms home?

    Taken from Extraction Record # 1


    I am not saying everyone here is intelligent enough to glean criminal activity from the above Trayvon transcripts, but I am.


    If anybody (Regardless of race) engages in this profession I label them as "SUBHUMAN". If one of the Guns Trayvon Martin sold was used to hurt a child you know perhaps you would think of this creep wannabe gangsta as the Stupid Kid he was. I care not about him as a kid, but care more for the innocents that will be gunned down as a result of his gun dealing profession.

    If I was in a Police Station and they said I had two choices. Kill an illegal gun dealer targeting children, or let him go about his business I would likely say kill the gun dealer. The gun dealer chose the crime life whereas kids being gunned down in parks just want to play on the swings.

    I only see a dead violent person that sold guns to children.

    @ Billvon,

    Devolving into personal attacks? Both people who have been debating here have already labelled me racist. It is laughable to me and anyone I know, but I have no problem attacking these racist vigilantes back. Obviously the American Justice system says they are innocent, but these disturbers think their backwater intuition can override justice.

    First. I cannot count how many Zimmerman supporters there are, but I do know everyone of them is automatically deemed a racist. I would be mad at my own kids if they went around selling guns, drugs, and beating up snitches and school bus drivers and doing graffiti on school and getting caught with stolen Jeweler and burglary tools. Getting suspended all the time, etc.


    Yes. Zimmerman did good by shooting his attacker. Less guns will be traded, and less homes will be broken into.

    @ Everyone,

    This thread does not need me to support all the facts over again. It has been shown Trayvon was a miscreant in the TRAYVON thread.

    Poor Rob Ford.

    NOTE: This thread title is insulting to fatso's everywhere. It is funny that of the three allegations in the threads title the OP thought it was appropriate to attack his weight first, and we all know if he were a crackhead he'd be a skinny runt with bulging eyes.

    Would you say the same about Rob Ford? If someone thought (correctly) that he was a lying drug-using criminal who had threatened people with death, and killed Ford after pursuing him through a development, then certainly fewer illegal drugs will be sold and less drug crime will occur. Good for everyone, correct?

    Is it good for everyone that Ford gets his staff and assistants to go out of their way on tax payer funded time to make calls about the maintenance of a crack house?

    Well I guess since it seems Ford may have been paying the utilities of the drug traffickers who live in the house, nothing is out of the ordinary anymore..

    The City of Toronto has refused to say whether Mayor Rob Ford paid utility bills for the Etobicoke crack house where he was photographed with three alleged gang members.

    But a city official has confirmed that on Jan. 7, Chris Fickel, one of Ford’s special assistants, called the city’s water department on behalf of resident Fabio Basso regarding a sewage issue at 15 Windsor Rd., said Toronto Water manager Lou Di Gironimo.

    The date lines up with an entry in a notebook found by detectives while they investigated the mayor and his friend Alexander “Sandro” Lisi.

    Comments in a police document released Thursday, used to obtain search warrants connected to Lisi, suggest a detective believed the notebook belonged to Ford or a staffer.

    “One possible explanation for these entries could be that the Mayor is dealing with house maintenance and bill payment at 15 Windsor Rd.,” the detective writes in the document.

    The detective writes that the notebook shows that its author seems to be dealing with water and other bills between Jan. 7 and March 20 of this year.

    The bungalow at 15 Windsor Rd. is home to the Basso family, including Ford’s old friend Fabio Basso and his sister, convicted cocaine trafficker Elena Basso, who also, according to the police document, has a conviction for prostitution.

    The house, where it is believed the video that appears to show Ford smoking crack was recorded, is also where Ford was photographed with three men: Anthony Smith, who was murdered in March, as well as Muhammad Khattak (wounded in the same incident) and Monir Kassim, both of whom were charged in the Project Traveller guns-and-gangs raids in June.

    A city spokesperson said the Star would have to file a freedom of information request to obtain information related to discovering whether the mayor or anyone connected to the mayor was handling the bills.

    [HR][/HR]

    The police document, released Thursday, that reveals contents of the notebook also refers to the bungalow as a “crack house” or “trap house,” another name for a house where crack, cocaine or other drugs can be found.

    The document was used to obtain a search warrant for the home and car of Lisi, Ford’s friend and occasional driver. Lisi has been charged with drug trafficking and recently with extortion in connection with an alleged attempt to retrieve the video from the man who made it.


    What an upstanding citizen. Making sure the crackhouse he smokes crack in has power and water for the crack dealers who live there.

    I say it over and over but American mentality is blocking it. I do not care about Trayvons drug use aside from that it tempered his judgement when he often sold guns to kids. Guns, Drugs? I think I have been clear about Why I shed no tears for Trayvon.

    Now poor Zimmerman had reported over 50 incidents to police over his neighborhood watch reporting all races and creeds.

    Even if Zimmerman had been prancing around on his tiptoes like a fairy stopping every 45 seconds to fart in Trayvons direction he would be allowed to do this. People cannot beat up crazy people for fun. Trayvon thought (according to DeeDee) this guy was some pervert, That does not give him reason to beat up or attack Zimmerman. This was not Antarctica, this was within yelling distance of 200+ homes.

    We know Trayvon was a skilled fighter (according to him and friend asking for training). Trayvon was a lot taller than Zimmerman. Zimmerman had a lot of face and head injuries.

    Trayvon did attack Zimmerman and Zimmerman looks like he would fear for his life. Guns are to blame.

    There was one aspect of testimony I think is funny. The fight is recorded and someone yells for help 14 times in 30 seconds. 14 times. That is a lot of yelling for help. Some argue perhaps that was Trayvons voice, and others say it was Zimmermans voice. If I looked at Trayvon or Zimmerman though I would peg Zimmerman as the panicky screamer. I think Trayvon is likely peeved that anyone actually thinks that is him screaming like a girl.

    These are the kind of morons that can carry guns in the United States. Feel safe?

    This situation would have occurred with any race but is just a cash grab for various religious groups.

    The Final Word:

    This is Poetic, but the numbers (polls) are in.

    TORONTO LOVES ROB FORD STILL (So I am not the only one).

    So. It appears I have accurately described his popularity. Despite nationwide ridicule he did turn this city around fast.

    This is funny ...

    So ... Like him or not he has done what he promised to do already and it would suck to see him go. He has rebuilt parks and made harsh cutbacks (as with our Zoo).

    He was a good Mayor.

    And it is now apparent that he did that because he craves violence. From FOX News:
    =========================================
    Is America finally looking at the real George Zimmerman?

    By Juan Williams
    Published November 20, 2013

    "I told you so!"

    The temptation to say just that is big after George Zimmerman’s arrest Monday on charges of aggravated assault, including pointing a gun at his girlfriend.

    This week’s arrest comes on the heels of his former wife calling police to report Zimmerman had threatened her with a gun.

    Four months ago a jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. There was not enough evidence to show that Zimmerman was not acting in self-defense.

    But now what we are seeing is a pattern emerging showing Zimmerman as a man with serious anger issues, who lacks self-control and has a penchant for using guns to threaten people.

    Taken together these recent cases open a new window on the February 2012 case when Zimmerman followed, fought, shot and killed Trayvon Martin, a black teenager walking home from the corner store with candy and a can of iced tea.

    All the arguments about Zimmerman’s rights under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law and his right to defend himself in a fight with a teenager fade in light of Zimmerman’s recent behavior.

    All the arguments about gun-control advocates trying to use this case to deny Americans’ their right to carry a gun have lost their relevance.

    Zimmerman’s presentation of himself as a public-spirited “Neighborhood Watch” volunteer who was legitimately concerned about a strange young man in the neighborhood now looks like a cover story for a vigilante looking to excuse actions that led to the young man’s death.
