Politics in Canada

[saxitoxin]

After allegedly taking a ringer of crack, the mayor of North America's third largest city and his chief advisor, Li'l DeWayne, lost a speeder on Luxembourg to DoomYoshi and Baron Von PWN. The Toronto Star just released the full video of mayor Rob Ford's reaction:

"DON'T tell me we're liars, thieves, murderers or nerds."

I hope someone has alerted Mike Tyson of the danger he could be in.

Rob Ford remains more popular in Toronto than Barack Obama is in the USA:

Ford's job approval rating remains around 43% ...

Just 39 percent of Americans approve of the job the president is doing ...

Obama is 42%... He is also the leader of an entire country, not one city. People hold a president to a higher standard than a mayor, I would hope...

As I said, Rob Ford remains more popular in Toronto than Barack Obama is in the USA.

how does smoking crack affect your ability to govern?

[Anarkistsdream]

And as I said, you can't compare one CITY to one NATION... The change in the gallup poll in those two days also shows the inconsistency of these polls, and why they are fallacious to use as any long-term proof...

Not to mention, according to the Forum Poll, "Ford's approval is high among the oldest, the least wealthy, males, the least educated, those who drive to work or school and those in the suburbs, especially Scarborough."

So, yip-fucking-ie, all the inbred morons love him...

Also, "Close to two thirds want Ford to resign (61%) and this proportion has stayed steady since previous waves of polling (November 4 ‐ 59%, October 31 ‐ 60%)."

... Really, Doom? I mean, really? Smoking pot ever now and then may not, but, if you have tried crack or seen its effects, you would see how it sort of makes you forget everything around you beyond crack...

Gallup tracks daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president. Daily results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults

Who is at home to have a conversation with these people in the middle of the day??? They don't call cell phones, only landlines... And 1,500 adults??? That is representative of our entire country..?

Good point, his approval may be even lower than Gallup indicates.

It shouldn't. As long as the OPP are sure to remove all the spiders crawling underneath his skin he should have no trouble running Toronto.

Or much higher... Considering it is the Tea Party retired group at home during the day, I am betting higher... I also love how you ignored everything else I posted... The people who still back the Toronto mayor are lower class and uneducated, while it is the exact opposite for Obama... Looks to me that what it really shows is how few of US and Canadian citizens are educated.

I don't think you understand how polling works.

Don't take it personally. Driving through the city this morning, I also ignored the long-haired guy with no teeth standing on the streetcorner and waving a sign warning the Zeta Reticulans were about to invade.

Another arrogant asshole who can't actually debate, so they make rude comments to make themselves feel better... Basically, your initial post states nothing that can even be compared, due to location, polling entities, occupations of the mentioned, etc. so I'll let this thread die, just as I should have done to begin with. I suppose I misconstrued that since you posted this you may want to have a real discussion about it, but that is having high hopes for you, and I'll remember not to do that anymore.

What else is there? Unless the mayor can make the Maple Leafs win the Cup, I don`t want him to f*ck with things. The less governing he does, and the more crack-smoking he does, the better.

Arturo Diaz' opinion? I don't think he has one any more.

[keiths31]

The Ford and Senate scandals are nothing compared to the Ontario government costing tax payers over one billion dollars to save a few seats during the last election. But it doesn't get the headlines or attention like the other two do.

In my opinion Ford should enter rehab, the Senators in question should accept their suspensions, but the Ontario cabinet ministers responsible for the one billion dollar tax payer fraud should be charged. But I don't see that happening.

Agree on all counts.

and what of the PMO's involvement with Duffy? Seems convenient for the PMO to kick these guys out of the senate just when Duffy starts making noise.

Do you guys believe Harper when he says he didn't know about the check?
