Before we rush to judgement on this guy take a look at the links. It said he’s a conservative mayor of Toronto, which is a Leftist city. I don’t know if these allegations are true. But I had doubts the moment I saw his photo. He’s a fat white dude. It’s not difficult to photoshop or skewer videos to make him look guilty. I knew some Democrat operatives who told me they know how to do it. Never forget Leftists will resort to any tactic necessary to hold on to power and when they are out of power they use even more desperate tactics to attack their rivals.

The left wing press in Ontario has been gunning for Mayor Ford since he was elected. There was a firestorm, when it was found that he had used his mayoral letterhead to solicit funds for a youth's football team. The youths were from the community where there are numerous youths who are black. Drugs, gangs and violence is the despair of Toronto in these areas.

The man went out of his way to procure uniforms and gear and get some of these youths off the street. He managed to get 3,000 dollars subscribed by generous donors. The press and the usual flunkeys took him to court and the judge temporarily suspended him as mayor. The next judge threw out these charges of misuse of his mayoral influence.

I do not know about whether the reports are true about the mayor. What I do know is the mentality of the cunning dogs of the Toronto Star..... Pravda move over. The quintessential hypocritical liberal press. Shouting racism about anyone whom they can hang it on. They, with 94 percent executive staff who are white. Their reporter took a shot at the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team, because there were less Hispanic players on the team, than average teams. Called the team "The Toronto White Jays".

Ah, wretches!

Just saw your post re photo shop.

A woman was at a party with the mayor and claimed that when they were both asked to pose for a photo, he pinched her behind. The news media showed a photo still from a video taken at the time. There was the mayor and the said woman. They froze a frame at the most unkind facial view of Mayor Ford. His eyes were white like a zombie. He looked awful.

I do not believe any further actions were taken against the mayor. A rather unkind remark was made in support of the mayor by some joker. He said that looking at the backside of the woman he would have pinched it too.

I’m sorry but I can’t comprehend what you are saying. Are you saying the mayor grab-assed a woman or that the mayor is a zombie? As I said before I don’t know anything about this guy, and in the U.S.A. we believe a man is innocent until proven guilty. So let’s wait and see.

Whoops! I had hastily dashed off my post because your mention of photo shop got me going.

To prove that the mayor was actually with the woman at the party the press posted a frozen shot of the two smiling for the camera.

Now if anyone has used a video recording and can stop and start it at will, it can catch anyone looking awkward. What the press did was to use the video and stop it at one point, when Ford looked like a zombie. This was the only one they showed. The woman was smiling and was very close to the mayor in the shot.

I believe the woman later let the matter drop. Actually the mayor does let himself in for a lot of attacks, the press cannot wait to skewer him.

The Toronto Scar has had a hate-on for Ford since the day he announced his candidacy for the mayor's job. They've also been caught fabricating stories about him in the past.

To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.

Canada Ping!

That paper has been running hit pieces about Ford on an almost daily basis since 2010. The fact is that he’s the best mayor we’ve had in more than half a century.

Thanks for reply. I understand your point now and agree. I did some more thinking and here’s what’s surprised me. He’s a conservative politician who got elected in Left-leaning Toronto. That’s impressive. When I first saw the Toronto Star link and it had former headlines about his goofy sticker magnets shenaninagans, my first thought was this is just another example of Leftist idiocy, but then I actually read the articles in question and it said he was a Conservative. That’s when I concluded that this guy might be a target of a witch hunt. I could be wrong, but never underestimate your Leftist enemies. I made that mistake a few times before and it was painful.

Ford under investigation for placing fridge magnets on cars

Wed, 15 May, 2013

The venerable newspaper [Toronto Star] reported that Toronto's mayor spent about 15 minutes, the previous evening, in an Etobicoke parking lot placing fridge magnets — with included his name and home phone number — on cars.

Maybe he was depressed with the way the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the Boston Bruins. It was pathetic.

They ran a whole series of articles about an incident where he was allegedly abusive to someone at a game his team was in, but it never actually happened.

All just another sign of criminals taking over all forms of government. And I don’t mean this mayor is the criminal.
