He snubs the gay community one more time.

I don't think saying no will hurt him politically but the opposite. His supporters will appreciate he's sticking to his guns on this one but I could be wrong.
 
Usually I'll accept people's decisions of not attending LGBTQ events because of time or work constraints. However, when it comes to Mayor Ford, I'm sorry but there is no excuse. He is the MAYOR of Toronto, and there are people from freaking Argentina that would travel by plane here just to watch the gay pride parade. Why is he not attending? Because he needs to go over to his cottage for uh... family reasons. Lame excuse. Canada is one of the most open countries in the world with regards to sexuality and Ford needs to show us some gratitude here.

EDIT: Actually no, it's probably better if Ford doesn't attend these events. Let the people who TRULY care about LGBTQ rights attend instead. Ford would just interfere.
 
This topic has been discussed ad infinitum.
Ford has a family tradition of going to his cottage for Canada Day weekend.
He won't be attending the Pride Parade.

Time to leave him alone. His family comes first.

Rob Ford & family deserve to go away for the Canada Day weekend, I completely agree with keeping their family tradition in tact. In fact, they should do it every weekend as there is always the possibility that he drowns or crashes and he is only fatality. I know wishful thinking!

Mayor Ford isn't gay....so why should he attend?

Are you sure? Do you have proof he's not really in the closet, a really big wide walk in closet?
 
Why is anyone surprised at this? He's an asshole and a blowhard, an incompetent silver spoon-fed rich kid who got into local politics. No, I don't wish his death, just wish he'd stop being mayor of the city I live in. And soon.

Agreed. He's comparable to other embarrassing infamous mayors in Cincinnati, Washington, etc.
 
Give the man some credit. He stands by his convictions. Yes he's rude and abrupt but he keeps his promises and says it like it is. Plus, he's not squandering the tax payers money on ridiculous projects.

He is an asshole but he is cleaning house which is what counts

Nah he just has no tact and listens to his brother too much. Give him another year and you'll see, he is learning the ropes now
 
He's going to self destruct before his term is up, especially with his talk show on Sunday with his brother on 1010. i guarantee one Sunday he's going to firmly plant his foot deep into his mouth and he'll be ousted. His brother Doug will be eventually running for the Provincial party. I hear he's not happy with Hudak and would love to run and eventually lead the PC provincial party.
 
^^^^^^^^^^^ Look at them crash test dummies being jettisoned :music:
 
I hear he dropped the charges or the belly aching over the reporter in his backyard. Love him or hate him one has to admit it's very entertaining with the Ford brothers running the show.

Just how is he cleaning house? By trying to push beyond all measure a costly transit program, when cheaper, faster, and cleaner alternatives exist? By closing libraries? dropping funding for poor family assistance? screwing up even further the housing situation?

There's no learning the ropes. He's been in that position for over a year. If you screwed up this badly for over a year at your job would they keep you?

How thick are the earwax and blindfolds you Ford appologists wear?
 
He has further garnered my support for not attending gay pride. He does not support the gay life style and is within his rights to say no.
