Davey Boy 2.0 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'd loooove to see him charged with misuse of emergency services. I do like how the picture of him on the CBC site shows him while he's still smiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Poor sport about it, if you ask me. Besides the crap with 911 and all, it's funny hearing his reasons excuses; "it was dark" - but it wasn't. It was 8:30am and daylight. "My daughter was scared" - except his daughter was no where to be seen, according to Mary Walsh on CBC the other day, the video doesn't show her either. The recent death threats are perhaps is a good reason, but come on, he knew, at the very least, they were reporters, not attackers. To me it was obvious when he got into his car, sat there for a few seconds and then politely asked her to move so he could get out and go indoors to call 911.Regardless, I imagine this will play in his favour to some degree, garnering him some sympathy from the public who feel 22 mins went to far. Good timing too, as his popularity is already doing a nose dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Now that he's experienced the frustration of delayed response time, I wonder if he'll go theough with his cuts to police services?Just kidding, I wonder no such thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good timing too, as his popularity is already doing a nose dive.I agree with this. I'm not a Ford fan but it's hard for me not to sympathize with someone who was ambushed by a camera crew on his property. I'd get pretty rage-y myself.Bad play on the CBC's part, especially for an organization which relies on the public trust.If anything it's a circus on both sides.

Kanada Kev Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Really? Sympathy for Ford? Ambushed? Come on. i read his side yesterdayi saw the footage todayi am amazed at the difference and ford's expectation we would see his versionthis man is not a leaderchrist how many more peter mackays are we going to suffer? Ford says it was dark out ... it was lightFord says his daughter was "scared" ... she was nowhere to be seenFord demands preferential treatment from public servicesFord flips out on 911 operators over the phoneBetcha he did scream and yell and call the cops Bitches when they arrived.Countless other politicians and celebs have been "ambushed" by Marg Delahunty over the years and NONE of them reacted like this buffoon.The man is a joke and is not doing Toronto any favours whatsoever. The morons who all voted him in have themselves to blame. Edited October 29, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 He got the boot for very legit reasons. It's hard for me to fathom a high-level politician thinking it would be acceptable to participate in a vote on his own disciplinary measures.Having said that, I feel like this will only embolden his base, and he might get elected again.

It's hard for me to fathom a high-level politician thinking it would be acceptable to participate in a vote on his own disciplinary measures.Having said that, I feel like this will only embolden his base, and he might get elected again.Exactly. I'm already sick and tired of the right's spin and excuses on why he was fired, like he was only supporting a children's charity or "left-wing judiciary activism" , it's only a small amount of money and he didn't benefit etc. He willingly and knowingly disregarded all advice and warnings that he was in conflict (even 10 minutes before he voted) had numerous chances to simply pay back the money and resolve the issue quietly, but instead he thumbed his nose at the council, the courts and acted like he was above the law he swore to adhere to. Fuck, he couldn't even be bothered to read the damn handbook for the job he was elected to do, and then used ignorance as a defense in court - that alone is a slap in the face to people who voted for him, as well the rest of the city. He deserved to be booted based on that in my opinion.He should be thankful that he wasn't subjected to a mandatory minimum that can/could apply to this type of violation. (ie: 7 year ban).
