[img]http://i.cbc.ca/1.2335759.1383417003!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/16x9_620/image.jpg[/img] [quote]That's according to a new poll by Forum Research, which showed Ford’s approval rating rose by 5 per cent to 44 per cent on Thursday, following a press conference in which police Chief Bill Blair revealed that police seized a hard drive containing a video "consistent with what has been described in the media."[/quote] [quote]The poll sampled opinions from 1,032 randomized residents, all contacted on Thursday night after Blair’s news briefing. A whopping 98 per cent said they were aware that police have confirmed the video exists.[/quote] [quote]The previous poll on Ford, conducted on Oct. 28 and 29 just before the latest bombshell announcement, had his approval ratings at 39 per cent. The latest Forum Research Poll has a margin of error of plus or minus three per cent, 19 times out of 20.[/quote] [url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/rob-ford-approval-goes-up-5-despite-video-scandal-1.2335743]**SOURCE**[/url] The fuck is wrong with your city??

well, he did refuse to step down, maybe people are seeing this as pro weed and are gonna stick with him?

Well, that's now. Come election time when everyone and their mother is trying to get him out of office, I can see a lot of people changing their minds on him. I think most folks seem to just have a passing understanding of what's going on, and when they get a clearer picture, they'll likely just switch to voting for the other conservative candidate.

[quote]Although he retains a core base, the majority of those polled (60 per cent) want him to resign.[/quote] they must've only called seniors homes because nobody i know under 50 wants him still in office.

[QUOTE=Yahnich;42735053]who is this[/QUOTE] Mayor of Toronto, theres a video of him smoking crack with a bunch of black dudes. In person hes really awesome and down to earth but as a Mayor he did make a few mistakes such as putting in a bike lane, then removing it a couple years later costing taxpayers about 20 million.

You know why? People realized he's been stoned this whole time and STILL running the city better than David Miller.

Maybe Putin was the one supplying.

Last election the "other conservative" dropped out, leaving basically a Conservative, Liberal, and NDP candidate. Nobody cared about the NDP guy, and the Liberal was involved in the e-health scandal, has a known history of cocaine addiction, and is gay, and that last one won't sit too well with the far-right and religiously conservative in Toronto, nor does being associated with Dalton McGuinty.

well at least he showed he has a pair. I think someone having so much confidence that they wont step down after being revealed to do hard drugs is maybe worth keeping.

My theory is that Conservatives always support their candidate no matter what and that he just won some druggies who thought he was chill.

She's politically in a similar ballpark to Ford, but actually seems to have a few more sensible ideas as to what the city needs, especially with regards to our transit.

Hello, Toronto, come on in and have a seat. Don't be scared, we're all your friends here. Yes, this is an intervention.

She's also a bit of an entitled ass, she got a ticket on her bicycle for running a stop sign and complained to the news about it, asking why they were bothering cyclists who were breaking the law (which happens so often here it's terrible and nothing is ever done about it) instead of stopping car drivers. I don't like her. I do hope John Tory runs though, if not him I don't know who to vote for, because I don't want to vote for Stintz or Ford, and if Adam Vaughan runs I just want him to lose so horribly. I hate Adam Vaughan.

Smoke crack and re-elect Rob Ford!

Should be background music for Ford's rallies. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsfnuyyjaB0[/media]

Whenever I imagine Rob Ford now, it's always this little scene in my head: "Hey, Rob, do you do cocaine?" "Oh, no no no! I'm a simple guy, I smoke crack just like everybody else. Nothin' fancy."

Scandals just serve to put the base into defensive mode. Nobody else cares about a cracked up mayor until election time, I assume.

he needs the extra 5% for his other chins.

[QUOTE=DiBBs27;42736394]We sorta got the short stick on choices didn't we. They are all simply terrible politicians.[/QUOTE] Yeah. I also hope Chow-Chow doesn't run either, the last NDP mayor was bad enough, we don't need another.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;42739468]"Yeah let's call her chow-chow, that'll make me seem smart"[/QUOTE] If I cared horribly about calling Olivia Chow by her name, I would have.

Yeah but you called her something that could be construed as racist.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;42739505]Yeah but you called her something that could be construed as racist.[/QUOTE] How? I remember Sue-Ann Levy having the same thing said to her when she used it, she was comparing her to a yippy little dog. I fail to see in what way it's racist, if someone's going to see racial offence in that then perhaps it's them who needs to contemplate who's the racist one.

I'd be fine with him if he wasn't a liar.

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;42740259]I'd be fine with him if he wasn't a liar.[/QUOTE] so you're not fine with any politicians?

[QUOTE=Stroma;42740288]so you're not fine with any politicians?[/QUOTE] Most people aren't.

If you elect Rob Ford president maybe he'll legalize crack
