Well, technically, Canada’s inaction means things are the same now as they were when Harper came in. So technically he hasn’t changed anything there either. 
And on the Rob Ford front:
He is ready to fight a war. It’s just like Kuwait all over again.
Oh, and he mowed down a grandmother in council chambers while rushing to help his big brother in his altercation with “dangerous” members of the public who were shouting at him.
Every.
Single.
Day.
He just gets better and better.
I’m waiting for him to show up to city council drunk out of his mind, throw up on his shoes and then challenge the deputy mayor to a cage match while stripping his shirt off.
Then the next meeting, they’ll wheel him in Hannibal-Lecter style, strapped to a gurney with a mask across his face so he is not able to bite anyone.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Maybe the Conservatives realize that it is all ‘talk’ (not climate change, but the proposed solutions) and haven’t bothered playing the game.
Make it stop! Please… Make. It. Stop.
They’re probably making fun of us in Mongolia.
When my husband told me about this today, my response to him was, “Every newsperson in North America needs to send Rob Ford a thank you card this Christmas.”
Maybe. But finally, Toronto is on the map!
Now. we’ll no longer have Americans asking if Toronto is “that place in Nebraska”!
Enjoy your new-found fame Torontonians!
As for me, I seem to have found myself the lucky winner of a football signed by Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots, and is in a handsome presentation case. I knew I should have gone to the sports bar tonight.
This one’s going in my basement sports bar!
Ford was running amok in the chamber on Monday and bowled over an older female councillor.
For workplace safety, he should be banned from the premisses. Seriously.
Here’s the confrontation that led to Rob Ford knocking over Pam McConnell.
And here’s the video of Rob Ford charging into Pam McConnell. Note: She isn’t his intended target; he just barrels into her on his way to support Doug Ford. Never even spares her a glance.
Rob, don’t go away mad. Rob just go away.
Rob has now had his “come to Jesus” moment. Even though he doesn’t go to church.
He’s going to lose 50 pounds and stop drinking entirely.
Great. A dry drunk who is hungry all the time. I don’t think that’s going to help his sociopathic tendencies.
Congratulations!
And, in other news, Snow. Fuck.
That would be: “more snow”.
I just spent a month in Calgary last weekend. You can keep all your snow and -15 temperature there thank you.
We’d much prefer to share the wealth, actually. There’s plenty of snow and cold to go around. 
That was it - Big T. Very good. We split a brisket/ribs platter, with beer chaser.
I hope that the new stadium in Regina will develop a similar restaurant strip close by. Right now, there’s only a Dairy Queen.
Piffle. The snow is romantic. As for the cold, tou just need five layers of clothes, Hot Shots in your mitts, boots and hip pockets, and you’re good!
Brrrrr - I should have said, “Cold. Fuck.” I just walked to the Superstore and back, and it was pretty damned chilly! I only had three layers of clothes on; I think I needed one more. 
Today I spotted three creatures previously thought to be mythical, elusive beings dwelling in remote snowy locations. Little proof of their existence has ever been recorded. No, not yeti. City of Saskatoon graders clearing snow. I hurriedly snapped a photo, but it’s kind of blurry and the graders are partially obscured by a sign. I’d post it, but no one will believe it isn’t 'shopped.
I wonder if Calgary gets more snow in general than Montreal does. Calgary is closer to mountains than Montreal (well, real mountains. Montreal is near a bunch of hills.)
