A while back in the 80's I think it was 'Princess Margaret' was accused of having an affair with a well known criminal in the UK by the name of John Bindon. Of course she denied it and swore she had never even met him........until.........a photo of her sitting with him on the island of Mustique came to the voters, as well as statements by others who were there at the time. Bindon is wearing a t-shirt that says "Enjoy Cocaine". Something else that Bindon was known for the Princess asked him to do. It concerned holding 5 pints of beer.
What is your point?
My points are two fold. First that people voted for Ford because he did a good sales job on himself, but who is really behind the face? Well that's something people are finding out, but should have researched before....they put that X on the voting card. People are too easily sold a bill of goods. Even his brother and sister, it seems the whole family has problems. Voting in Ford was a knee jerk reaction by voters, the same as voting in Fontana and voting in Harper and all three were bad choices. Time people took their politics more seriously.
My second point is no matter who the person is, leaders, kings or queens, you really can't trust them until you REALLY know them....and that....takes digging..... and time.
How did Ford 'help' them?
Redemption? They can do it on their own time, not the taxpayer's time or buck.
No mistake in voting in Harper of Fontana???? No comment, that hasn't already been made by many.
McGuinty.....it ended up not a good choice, but he too was a knee jerk political decision, albeit better than the CONS at the time. However McGuinty did not have a past so he was hard to pinpoint.
No past?
Where have you been?
I was talking about 'past' before his first election.
Lets not forget that after winning the first election McGuinty asked former Provincial Auditor Erik Peters to examine the province's finances. Peters revealed that the out-going Conservative administration had left a hidden deficit of at least $5.6 billion.
Hudak had a 20 point lead and blew it because he came across as an angry racist homophobe.
Well, if the shoe fits and it did. Of course he is more than that, which is why even now, after the McGuinty reign, the Liberals are either still neck and neck in some polls and in others ahead of Hudak and the CONs.
They are still regarded by many others as better choices than the alternatives.
Well there are always those who vote for the worst. Harris was re-elected, Harper was re-elected (sort of), many in the US to this day feel Bush was a good President and Fontana.....well I think you would be hard pressed to get him elected as dog catcher next term (along with many others on the council). Even McGuinty, he left before being turfed out. Then there is Ford! Do you see the trend? People are tired of ultra right winged politicians and any other politicians who are corrupt. There's a changing of people's views on politicians, they are educating themselves rather than sticking to one party or jumping from one to another like a rabbit on a hot skillet.
He helped people in Toronto who were having problems with city hall.
If you say so. 🙂
Mulcare was offered a bribe.
He turned it down but didn't report it.
Hummm serious allegations. I tied find any information on this on the world wide Net but can't find a thing. Have you got a link to that?
Yes and a good one. I also have a computer and I searched Google and searched news sites and came up with zero, nada, zip, nothing on........ Mulcare bribe.
Do you not have the ability to post a link?
It works better when the correct spelling is used! 😉

LOL.........I had just copied and pasted his words Mulcare and bribe. Didn't even notice he had spelled Mulcair wrong. Strange that Google didn't give me an option for the search which they often do. Neither did the internet news networks.
Anyhow............MulCAIR should have reported it then and there at the time. He may not have become part of the offer, but in a sense he still was by ignoring it. Not good in my view.
Ford on a radio show calls the media ...."a bunch of maggots".
Then his brother on the same show continues on about city council and saying ......."Do you know something, I'll tell you right now, the vast majority couldn't get a job. I'll tell you that right now and that's fact," he said. "I wish the media looked into some of their backgrounds, where they came from."
Ford and his brother are breaking down. How will this affect Toronto?
