I don't imagine it'll have any trouble hoping up the three flights of stairs to my apartment, either.

But it will be defeated by my doorknob! Unless it brings thing with it:

Well now I -really- hope it brought Thing with it because somebody needs to clean the coffee off of my monitor now.

So apparently Marg Princess Warrior showed up at Mayor Ford's place to try and get an interview with him...so he ran back inside and called 9-1-1.

Jackass.

Ford calls 911 on CBC comedians

What. A. Dumbass.

I would kill to get an interview with Marg Princess Warrior (I still say she'd make a great PM).

I know! I would want to be in politics in Canada JUST so that she would ambush me for an interview!

(Hey, Linus. Is there any way I could get you to move this thread back to the Canada forums? I'm not sure why it ever got taken out of there. Since it's not super active Canadians are unlikely to come across it in the "news" forums and if it's Canadian content they're looking for the first place most people would look is in the Canada forums. Please?)

45 Canadian movies you should see - according to Strombo

I am still raw that eXistenz was left off of the list.

Jesus of Montreal is also a cool movie, although it's not an english movie and that's what the list is of. But still.

Isn't Hard Candy canadian???

Nope. US. Although that is a great movie.

Another film, although french, that's good is Les Boys. I actually enjoyed it both dubbed and subtitled.

Really? But Hard Candy has so many Canadians in it! I guess we're the only ones willing to be in a movie like that (it's one of my favourites)

(Well, I guess by "so many Canadians" I really just mean Ellen Page and Sandra Oh)

And Ford, of course, had to use his sense of entitlement.

Sources say Ford turned on the dispatcher, yelling: “You … bitches! Don’t you f--king know? I’m Rob f--king Ford, the mayor of this city!”

What a douchebag. Where'd you read that, Linus?

Kelz · 10-27-2011, 09:27 PM

I hate Ford. I despise the guy! It's embarrassing he's the mayor. He's a one term wonder mayor lol.

One of his volunteers during his campaign was circling a parking lot and rolls up beside me while I'm trying to load the groceries in my car and starts asking me who I'm voting for. Now I'm a civil person so as politely as possible I said, "I'm undecided but I can assure you, I won't be voting for him" And he says asks me "why?" WHY!?!? So my partner steps in and says "Because he's homophobic" he starts pulling away and says "Well check the polls" At that point I lost it and told him to f*** off. Felt good

From what I've been reading (via CBC and HuffPost.ca) this guy is actually worse than Mel Lastman -- and that is saying a lot.
