I should probably preface this by saying that I’ve spend the majority of today sitting in front of my computer writing papers/articles/general crap that they say is necessary in order to get a stupid piece of paper will my school crest and name on it , which also means that I’ve been on Twitter all day, and that means that I’ve been following the TTC/Ford Brothers City Council showdown pretty closely.
A few months ago, I said that I wanted to move to Olivia Chow’s riding because she can be such a fierce Ford opposer, and I thought that she’s pretty badass for being so outspoken, but I take that back. I’m really fvcking proud to be in Karen Stintz’s riding.
*And I want one of these buttons.

Hey Toronto, a lovely remix of our graceful, intelligent, eloquent, recently vegetable consuming mayor talking about us, the tax payers, and our subways.

Queen/Spark: Mayor Sighting 13
I can’t be positive since I was a few floors up looking out of my office window, but I’m like 80% sure that I saw Rob Ford steal some hot dogs from a food cart. He was literally reaching behind the counter and grabbing hot dogs off the grill and it looked like the guy was yelling at him.

Maybe it’s because I’m writing a paper on satire, but this is fucking hilarious. (slash sad, because I like my street cars, and I don’t drive)
“that place is yucky” I’m dying, for real.
Tonight this guy (picture above) was elected the 64th mayor or Toronto. He’s a racist, homophobic prick with very few (okay, no) positive political ideas. Basically he’s going to run the city into the ground (but at least City Hall will be comedy central)
And I’m not one to bash someone based on their looks, but the photo above? That’s his mug shot, yup, his fuckingMUG SHOT.
I guess my life as a second class Toronto citizen begins now.
Frontrunner Rob Ford losing steam in Toronto mayoral race: poll
From The Globe and Mail:
A survey of 400 Toronto voters released Monday evening found Rob Ford leading with 28 per cent, compared with 23 per cent for his closest rival George Smitherman and 10 per cent for third-place candidate Joe Pantalone. Sarah Thomson and Rocco Rossi were tied, with seven per cent of respondents.
Significantly, this latest Ipsos-Reid poll indicates that if it was just down to the former deputy premier and the grandiloquent Etobicoke councillor, Mr. Smitherman would win – 48 per cent of respondents said they’d vote for him, compared with 45 per cent who said they’d vote for Mr. Ford if the Oct. 25 election were held today.
Yes, yes yes, let’s keep this going toronto, and STOP FORD! (I don’t know about the rest of you, but I want to keep my rights, and keep my city moving forward)
