So ummm...Rob Ford

[96tbird]

Back to the OP apologizing as a Canadian. This has zero to do with Canada. This has zero to do with OP: he doesn't live in GTA and therefore couldn't vote for Ford. The Apology is not valid or necessary.

Canadia's greatest gift to comedy.

This is my current background:

Kinda looks like actor Larry Joe Campbell.

He's the mayor of one of the biggest Canadian metropole. Things are not as encapsulated as you seem to believe. You do realize that about 6 million people live in the metro area of Toronto? That's about a sixth of the Canadian population. That's more people than every Canadian provinces but Quebec and of course Ontario.

Yeah, but most of the rest of Canada doesn't have much problem with a joke at TO's expense.....

Zilt, that don't add up to a hill o beans. It's like calling all Canadians fascists because Pauline Marois, monarch of the nation of Quebec, is pushing through a totalitarian policy denying religious freedom in the province that makes up 25% of Canada's population.

Aren't the Leafs already the biggest joke in Toronto? :sly:

Seriously though, Rob Ford is an addict and needs treatment.

Hyperboles are the best.

Old news, decades old.

That's hyperbole. No S.

 

[Ziltoid]

That's hyperbole. No S.

I count three in your statement. Maybe four.

 

[Ziltoid]

1) monarch of the nation of Quebec

2) is pushing through

3) a totalitarian policy denying religious freedom

4) in the province that makes up 25% of Canada's population.

1) Prime minister, and uhm "nation"?
2) Single party minority government, can't "push anything through".
3) Not quite.
4) More like 22-23%

See.

Wuuut?!?

Sure Weiner is a scumbag for cyber cheating on his wife, but I'd say being drunk constantly and smoking crack is a lot worse than sending a poorly composed selfie.

You must have skipped over the part of my post that quoted what I was responding to.

Specifically, the fact that his behavior is good for laughs.

Surely, you must admit that with all his ludicrous denials, his ever more bizarrely evolving excuses, his eventual rambling admittance and pseudo apology and his futile attempt at damage control to try to keep his job, the whole Weiner episode was a heck of a lot funnier!

 

[spade2you]

The whole Wiener incident seemed like a poorly written (yet hilarious) SNL skit.

 

[6stringvince]

No, I think Ford saying to the media "I never told her I wanted to eat her p___sy, I have plenty to eat at home" when referring to a co-worker IS the funniest!

 

[6stringvince]

I think there's a lot more to come, like murder charges...

You are wrong. They are not denying religious freedom, they are simply saying that public servants can't wear religious clothing or symbols while serving the public. They are still free to practice or display their religion on their own time.

Yeah you're right. Oh well, to me monarch was the only one.

1) she behaves like it.
And I have seen plenty of members of Que assembly call it a "nation" on the news so, none there. Not my words.

2) push it through: I meant go ahead with introducing it, so possibly guilty. So yeah we're plural now.

3). How is dictating what people can't wear in Canada not a violation of rights and freedoms? That's a slippery slope but if you think not you're entitled to it.

4) what's 2-3% between friends? Besides that's 2-3% more so 77-78% will be the bill for federal assets inside the nation due and payable the day the PQ gets its way. 8)

So, 4 it is.

Guys, tone it down. This is a non-political thread. It is purely for making fun of possibly the most screwed up public personality in years. Please, don't get this thread shut down.
