About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

IF......
Everything I have witnessed about the Rob Ford saga tells me he should be PMSH's next choice for the senate.
Gluttony, arrogant entitlement, poor choice of friends.... the public will just assume he appointed another journalist.
If... then the Toronto Star reporters would have handed over the Somali pushers to the Metros who would have kept the details under wraps.
Without a doubt.
#ifRobFordwasObama, guess over whose homes the helicopters / drones would be hovering.
Wait, I'm confused. I thought that the Star reporters were drones?
If Rob Ford was Obama, then the crack habit would be consistent with his physical appearance.
Try as they may it seems like the general public is ignoring the MSM's cry for his head and simply acknowledging that the man has his faults, but is still three chins above the typical Toronto politician. Must drive the CBC/CTV/Global and Star groupies nuts to see how little effect they have in dethroning this man. His approval rating has not suffered as much as the egos of those that thought they had the power to rid the city of this right wing barbarian who just won't toe the politically correct line. How dare he try to run a city with the overburdened taxpayer in mind and not kissing union asses. If he hangs in there much longer it might rub off on the rest of the province and they too might demand some bureaucratic relief. The horror !
Now they are feeling what conservatives do after every liberal moral scandal. Clinton's polling went up after Lewinsky. Looks good on them.
If Rob Ford was Obamba:
The CRA (IRS) would have investigated and threatened every person reporting it, who the NSA would have already “bugged” before the TSA put them on a “No Fly List”, just prior to the DHS putting them in “Indefinite detention”.
But he would be loved and worshipped by “Liberal Canada” as a Messiah because he would be black, which is all that really matters in the end isn't it.
If Rob Ford was Obama: "What difference does it make?"
David Southam >
"If Rob Ford was Obama: "What difference does it make?""
You RACIST SOB!
Clarification: sorry, I meant that if someone had made an accusation that Obama had used cocaine, the media megaphone would have been screaming, "What difference does it make?" (Er, that's actually happened, hasn't it?) Sorry also for the lack of attribution to Mrs. Clinton. I regret any confusion I may have caused.
Ford is the Mayor of Toronto, elected by the citizens of that city, he has no jurisdiction over any other part of Canada.
Why are the media maggots giving him national coverage? Because he's been accused, not convicted of smoking crack? Because he has declared himself to be a Conservative?
What's the real reason the maggots and the police go into National Inquirer mode, following him around, going through his garbage? Who are they protecting?

Hear, hear! Who indeed.
If Ford was Obama, the Toronto (Red) Star would be running articles about the health benefits of cocaine use. And why being 300lbs is awesome.
Video? What video?
Oh, and the Toronto Chief of Police would be getting investigated for drawing swastikas in the executive bathroom.
That's how it would be if Ford was Obama.
And that's why I have not bought a Toronto (Red) Star since about 1985. Because why the h3ll would I pay for that?
This phones and emails would be intercepted, and their corn chutes would be doubled in size.
If Rob Ford was Obama we'd all be Rob Ford.
Phantom, well said. That is exactly how it works.
No, for an Obama Bill Blair would have buried the video, the other people in it, the people who took it, and just to be sure, his own officers who found it and brought it to him.
If Rob Ford was Obama .... Bill Blair would be checking parking meters for the rest of his career.
TheTooner, Bill Blair would indeed have correctly read the tea leaves if Ford was Obama, and have buried that whole thing under a mountain.
In the present situation, had there not been a real video Blair might have been forced to invent one.
Oh wait, did I say that out loud? ~:D
Ken, thanks for the vote of confidence. Having never seen this type of fascist/communist totalitarian behavior before myself, I find it handy to have an expert around who's had some experience in the field, as it were.
At this point, I have to say that if I lived in Toronto I'd still vote for Ford. Even if he got busted in Nathan Phillips Square stark naked with three ugly hookers and a pound of coke, making a porn video.
Why? Because all the right people are trying to take him down. If he's p1ssed all those liberal/NDPee scum off, he's doing something right. Two words my friends: David Miller.
I could wish for better, obviously. But until better comes around, the crack-smoking sea mammal is The Man.
They are protecting the Left Wing Communists that infect parts of Toronto.
These people believe it is their divine right to govern the city and will do everything possible to take it back, through illegal means if necessary. It has always been their fiefdom and they consider it to have been stolen from them.
But, of course I don't have to tell you that.
The only conclusion to be drawn from the Rob Ford flap is: in the last election, the citizens of Toronto had to choose between two drug abusers with extensive criminal ties. And, they chose the less dangerous of them. It's good news, really, when you think about it.
Liberals believe people are too stupid to run their own lives, smart enough to run yours.
- from a Brietbart comments thread.
Funny how the left that once hated Bill Blair for his involvement in the G20 protester arrest's, now are cheering him on for slandering a Conservative.
If Rob Ford was Obama, obese would be cool, cocaine would be a covered medication by Obamacare and and he'd be getting media praise for coaching a football team of poor black kids from the projects named the Sambos.
Interesting comments on Global tonight--it seems that their reporter are now experts on addictions and addictive behaviour. For people who do little more than read for a living they are certainly full of themselves. Give me Rob Ford over Calgary's purple prince anytime!
