Video has been removed but you can still find it on youtube. Jogger's name is Joe Killoran and he's a Grade 12 politics teacher.Quote:

When the elder Ford failed to provide any example of the alleged racist comment, the councillor suggested “you can be racist against people that have a drinking problem.”.
...
He laughs over a charge by Doug Ford that he needs anger management.
“I didn’t swear, I didn’t threaten, I didn’t yell out racist slurs or say anything misogynistic or disgustingly racist or homophobic. I was a citizen who was, I think, justifiably angry with him.”
Doug Ford also suggested that Killoran, who taught Grade 12 politics at Malvern Collegiate Institute during the regular school year, spent the year indoctrinating his students to hate Rob Ford.
“No, not at all,” he says. “I don’t have any interest in having my students adopt my political views,” he said.
I don't think Doug knows what a racist is.

A father of an autistic son filed an integrity commissioner complaint regarding his comments to which Doug responded by saying:

“He can go to hell, I don’t even care,” Ford told the Toronto Sun on Thursday. He also told the Sun: “This is not normal in democracy. . . It is a full out jihad against us right now.”
obviously the boys are cut from the same clothQuote:

i think that says it all.
Doug Ford has also accused political rivals of breaking the windows of his vehicle. I genuinely believe that this whole family suffers from paranoia. Everything that comes out of their mouths is something to the effect of "this person and that person and the whole world are out to get me/us."

Rob Ford's sobriety coach also apparently kicked a protester at a speech Ford was giving and a police officer who was on site called the coach out for it.
Unfortunately, the Ford's strategy of "just be in the news" is working. I haven't heard anything about the other candidates with the exception of them commenting in response to a Ford's actions or comments. I wish the other candidates would get as much coverage as these two. I already know that Ford is going to oppose it so, I actually want to know what the other candidates think of the Eglinton Connects project.
My lunch time entertainment is city council. They're debating the integrity commissioner's report that Ford violated the code with his robo calls. Doug Ford refuses to retract comments made against the commissioner and then says to Speaker Nunziata that she doesn't understand English and then points to Cllr. Augimeri and tells her to sit down and be quiet. Doug also calls all the councillors hypocrites and basically says that what he says is true. Him and Rob don't spout lies.
Edit: Forgot to mention that Rob sat quietly in his seat while the rest of council gave a standing ovation for World Pride. Must be drunk or high, right? His drinking makes him homophobic.
He will probably run in the next Federal election.Quote:
