[opentolerance]

@Baseshocks if you do your math the eco car tax cost you .16 cents a day. Less than a daily Starbucks coffee. By eliminating it it cost Toronto deficits somewhere else. And now that this idiot fired Gary Webster we now have to fork up half a million dollars when his contract would of finished in March 2013. The TTC has now gotten worse with Fords 10% cut backs. Only 46% of the GTA voted and the ones whose votes matter didn't bother so this how we wound up with Ford. Who truly is the gravy.

[MegaYapyapyap]

Really? You listen to a whacked out, drugged up actor regarding Canadian Politics? These are our voters...no wonder this idiot won...can't fix stupid.

[justanoldman1]

Elect a person and then do not allow him to do the very things he was elected on. The people of Toronto are nuts as is the CBC.

[Baseshocks]

@justanoldman1 Of course they are, anyone and everyone who rides the TTC want underground systems, its just that city hall is too fucking cheap to pay for it. As well as these dumb fucking people protesting about it. Every world class city has proper subway systems that movies millions upon millions around a day to free up surface routes. I do not understand the mentality of a cheap fixes. If we build a station every 2 years when the system was built, we would have a beast system

[MegaYapyapyap]

@Baseshocks EVERYONE? Well you didn't ask me. I have been riding the TTC for 35 years and the Sheppard line is a freakin ghost town and would be a total waste of money, but what do you know. You make ASSumptions about what everyone wants. I support LRT. I am a long time TTC customer. Ford is an Ape.

[Baseshocks]

@MegaYapyapyap sheppard line ghost town? have you been here during rush hour i live on don mills, it fills the trains on rush hour for such a small line. no shit other lines have larger crowds they are huge lines, if this line extends to Scarborough town center it gives people of Scarborough a proper system, then you will see the line packed.

LRT is a quick fix, they have to flow with traffic lights slow line..... continued.

[Baseshocks]

@MegaYapyapyap so what happens with all the LRT's in 20 years, they will be too little for such a massive city, every major city in the world has a proper subway line, Look at new york they have a marvel of a line and they still get a fuck load of surface traffic. Now imagine new york with a shitty subway line.... The city would not be able to function.

[JeffBuckleyFanboy]

RAMPART......lets talk more about RAMPART.

[56pw]

Woody, you know more about that clown ford than 90% of Torontonians

[Baseshocks]

@56pw Woody is commenting on a guy he knows nothing about, he is commenting on him from his few idiot friends that bash him....

Only a idiot would take 2nd hand information and publicly bash with it.

[darkoanton5]

NOW Magazine = Prostitute Newspaper For a left wing paper that trumpets the rights of women and minorities they sure sure have an awful lot of whore ads.

[five5x]

@darkoanton5 You're not very smart are you?

[darkoanton5]

@five5x Either you're a whore or an ad executive at NOW Magazine. So which is it?

[jaimegriffin]

Am I the only one who thinks he looks really coked up with his bright red nose and dilated pupils?

[pittsky]

Woody looks fucked up. Can't take him seriously.

[untomatchi]

i fuckin love harrelson! god damn it.

[CanadaguyRudey1]

Ahh woody.... mr dope head usa

[movitmovit]

give em hell woody

[educatedrock]

He is so ill informed woody. The light rail is falling down. Public housing is never been run right in Toronto and he or his gov't is not putting more money into a bad situation. Mr. Ford has been around Toronto for a long time and is tired of the BS in city hall. He is opened to suggestion most of the time, but he is going to do well. Obviously Mr Woody has taken their points of view with out making his own mind up. I grew up here and lemme tell ya, he is a bright light with vision

[xxYetterxx]

Man I love Harrelson, always have

[VolcardoReviewer]

Wait, so Harrelson lives in Toronto?

[toraptorseveryday]

@VolcardoReviewer yeah, he works on all kinds of plays and movies

[marblewonder]

He looks like a cartoon character

[MTVVH1sucks]

Woody Harrelson is such a good guy.

[ZebbMassiv]

Does Woody live in Toronto now?

[jonesyboypoom]

HAHAHAH WOODY! The Lincoln comment was classic!

[iLuvBarRefaeli]

Ford is a complete moron, he was spotted giving someone the finger while driving downtown, and refuses to attend Toronto`s pride parade, im not gay but even I understand that when same-sex marriage is legal and a parade is in the city, the face of the city and guy in charge should be there. Mind boggling how he got elected.

[quincee33]

@iLuvBarRefaeli mind boggling? do you pay taxes or rent in Toronto? Not exactly easy on the the paycheque.....we just had a socialist mayor...that's why we're in such a mess.....

[Craig496]

"He's a Ford, not a Lincoln." Nice!!!

[felisd]

Rob Ford is an ass. And Woody Harrelson is full of awesome. :)

[NanoHorizon]

There are a lot of Rob Ford supporters, then again, there are a lot of really stupid Canadians.

[quincee33]

@NanoHorizon right, but the pothead "Che" crowd that support the NDP are real winners? real geniuses.....the Occupy Movement are real go-getters.....Ford got alot of support from high tax paying people that work hard and take care of their responisibilities, they just want some value for their dollar....not pissing it away.....unfortunately society has way too many people who want a handout and don't wanna work for it.

[NanoHorizon]

@quincee33 I clean ducts, air systems and insulation for work. I work 6 days a week, 10 hours a day sometimes 14. Have you ever crawled around in someones 90 year old attic before? Sometimes I spend 9 hours covered head to toe in glass fibers, it hurts to bend my arms. Am I just some lazy knob looking for a handout? What do you do? sit at a desk? Occupy is full of people just like me, who are sick and tired of doing everything for everyone and sold out up river in return.

[quincee33]

@NanoHorizon good for you, i'm a landscaper......sold out up the river???? what you work for a huge multinational company cleaning ducts? you're sick of doing everything for everyone? so go do something else! i started my own business.....very hard to do, but at least i gave it a go for 10 years....when you're the boss you end up doing twice the work anyway....not in all fields of coarse...we have universal healthcare and good education, what more do u want? Canada is full of

[NanoHorizon]

@quincee33 Yeah, quit and do something else. Try telling that to somebody living in Ethiopia you stupid fuck. Are you 33? because you talk like some ignorant retiree that doesn't know fuckin anything. All you know is what you've been told, which isn't much. You probably don't even have the first clue why the US dollar or the Euro are failing, all you chalk it up to is what the news tells you and you're too fuckin stupid to ask why yourself so you just go along with it like some dog.

[NanoHorizon]

@quincee33 If you bothered to question what's actually happening to the worlds economy you would eventually come to the understanding that fiat currencies are intentionally manipulatable on a number of levels, and most importantly they're not backed by anything, so all you have to do is print more and the muppets running local governments tell their surfs it's all okay and they can go back to sleep.

[quincee33]

@NanoHorizon contunued.....Canada is full of opportunity....it's called freedom, if you don't like your boss, quit! if you don't like your career path, change careers....my friends "sit at a desk" so what? they all went to university or college and studied hard so they didn't have to do manual labour....that was there choice and a smart one...i was a goof off in school and now i do manual labour...sucks to be me...oh well...shit happens..how are u doing everything for everyone?

[NanoHorizon]

@quincee33 Mean while the owners decide which sovereign economy to undermine next. Quinee thinks it's safe though, so that's good. We can all rest assured the fucking moron with an even dumber youtube handle says there's opportunity in Canada, where nobody but quinee knows.

[NanoHorizon]

@quincee33This comment most effectively displays your inability to actually reason. You spout off about your world view, have you actually thought about your world view lol at all? Who builds the roads in your model? who puts up structures? who mines minerals and chemicals? college graduates? Should everyone "quit and do something else" lol Our U of S head of economics said in 2007 that "Bernanke is doing an amazing job" Yeah. Fucking fail is all i can say.

[NanoHorizon]

@quincee33 Yeah Bernanke did such a great job, at collapsing the world economy. Almost every university agreed at the time, these are the institutions educating our future leaders, that's fucking reassuring. Why don't we just save ourselves a shit load of money and hand over a pistol and 1 bullet to every man woman and child in the developed world to off themselves with.

[quincee33]

@NanoHorizoni'm not gonna defend bernake...but what about all the Democracts in New York...only 20 % of New Yorkers (the state) identify themselsves as Republicans.....what about john corzine? he got himself 400 million dollars out of his goldman sachs...he's a democrat, he was even the governor of new jersey, he's now in the news again for his role in a company called MF if i'm not mistaken, stealing from people by "betting" on the euro crisis...he's a douche...both parties CNTD..

[quincee33]

@NanoHorizon both parties are equally greedy....do you think the porn industry or hollywood aren't greedy? hardly a bastion of republicans in those industries....and when i worked for my Dad's rebar company i helped build biridges.....public sector workers get paid by private sector money...and they get paid very good here in Canada, not too sure about the States.....in Greece the private sector is 55 % and the public sector is 45 %, do the math,u can't have 55% paying for 45%

[chrisperdicaro]

ROB FORD ROCKS!!!!

[gelishot]

can anyone tell me specifically what his accent is?

[MungusSr]

@gelishot That's a Texan accent, just heavily mixed with a northern one as well.

[coolbeens21]

Woody could never play a believable Rob Ford, he is too handsome lol 

[shortthemkts]

this is 'what i heard'

wtf... doesn't this a-hole think for himself? jerk - go back to the US

[pavillionhp]

This explains a lot...Pot head !

[kusomizu]

After a night of heavy beer drinking and disgusting junk food, I've just laid a stinking coil of character actor who wants to portray Rob Ford. No make-up required!

[isaveu]

Our great Government gives more time in jail to pot smokers then pedophiles . I was once proud to live in this Country of mine but now I hate it . I work full time and can hardly pay rent or my bills . Our Government fails.

[Demarcoa]

@isaveu part of it is certainly the fact that the majority of the country doesn't vote anymore. I assume/hope you do like me, cause that's one of the most important ways to fix this crap :)

But I see what you mean. I'm in school now but honestly, if this country doesn't get its shit back together there are a lot of other countries where it seems I could live much more comfortably - Europe, Australia come to mind. Not particularly interested in working my ass off just to make ends meet.

[imdb2004]

I wish Hollywood would mind their own business..funny how u don't see them jumping on the wall street movement..as that because they are in the 1%!? Maybe they should share some of their wealth with the rest of us 99%? maybe all the music artist should chip in as well! Bono has enough for all of us..or is that not ok? Did he earn that money because if his talent?? Anyone who thinks he's different than a CEO of a big company need his/her head examined.

[Jamespot24]

@imdb2004 Share? What are u 5 lol! We don't need government to be our mommies and make things "fair".  Fuck you commie! Go cry cause there are people who have toys you don't faggot!

[imdb2004]

@Jamespot24 Wow James, I see you're pretty dumb so I'll just come out and say it.....I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!!! read it again you stool sample

[jowbowcow]

@imdb2004 Oh true, yeah. Celebrities live in a bubble, tho I hate that 1% 99% trash, as having just 10% of a huge pizza is more than 100% of a really small one! If the bottom is getting better off then they were but their "percentage" is less whats the deal? Poverty is relative in the first world, as long as people have what they need to survive thats fine, equality for the sake of equality is retarded.

[curious007cur]

Woody nailed Rob Ford.

Ford is just like Bush jr.

Both were elected by their buddies, for their buddies and the hell with anyone further down the food chain.

Survival of the fattest ... stay away from Ford's mouth when he opens it.

He'll rob you of your health and welfare ... in true darwinian style.

[dannymaclamp]

@curious007cur which is just what Toronto needs, a kick in the rear for all the scumbags with a sense of entitlement, like an article in the Star about this guy living on benefits, he said that he was an "unemployed poet"... I mean it's real funny, but sad too that a ton of people in a place like Toronto wouldn't flinch at the thought of that, oh no a poet or a painter is a career just the same as an engineer or taxi driver or policeman etc.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Unlike policemen, poets rarely kick homeless people in the face or taser immigrants to death. I'd rather have tax money going to poets any day of the week.

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer If someone produces poetry people like enough to buy the book, then it's a job, but otherwise no. And I mean yeah lots of cops do stuff like that but it's still a necessary profession with regards to other aspects. Art is something a person does in their spare time, it shouldn't be something that all the other working people need to pay money toward supporting. Especially a lot of the absolute shit that gets called Canadian art and culture.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Art is only something you do in your spare time if you are a hobbyist, NOT an artist. Every sector gets gov't grants and support but somehow phillistines always think it fashionable to shit on the arts. Artists work hard at what they do and it is WORK believe me. Reducing culture to a commodity guarantees lower quality work, not higher.

Canadian art & music is recognized internationally for its excellence, sorry if you think it "shit." Your loss.

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer A guy like Raymond Carver lived an incredibly hard life and struggled to find time to write but managed to write some of the greatest short stories ever. Anyone who would say they can't succeed as an artist if they don't have government funding to give them free time to work at it is no artist at all. A great work isn't like a job project, requiring X amount of time + X amount of dollars to happen. It's a ploy to get funding for a leisurely lifestyle.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Ha! Your contention that artists have a "leisurely lifestyle" shows you haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. Most artists make 20K per year and nearly all have to have another job in order to survive.

Do we demand of any other profession that they also work multiple other jobs and bleed in order to do something that benefits us all? Design that building when you get home from your bartending job at 3am, you mooch.

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer I remember going to this new art gallery in Edmonton, Alberta, and the stuff I saw in there, just unbelievable, like they had a wooden chair with some sticks on it, and a plaque in front of it, that's art, or 5 or 6 half empty pop bottles on a table with glass over top of it. That's art too. The only goal of government subsidized stuff like that is to give the light of day to stuff that would never see it if aesthetics and actual artistic critcism was involved.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp So, you didn't get it. That's valid. But that's not an argument against arts funding.

I could name playwrights or authors or filmmakers I don't like, but arguing against arts funding = advocating for a soley (and soulless) commercial arts environment where anything challenging or difficult or controversial will be ironed out in the interest of being palatable and selling more tickets.

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer It's good to support festivals and things like that. But you're supporting people in pursuing something they enjoy. Art can only be someone's full time career when it's commercially viable, that's the difference. I had a friend who wrote plays for the Fringe festival and so forth, and he was very good and the rest of the time he worked a regular job and supported himself. Writing was his passion and the job was practical.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp So, art should only be the province of the independently wealthy? And something is only work if you hate it? I know lots of lawyers and teachers who enjoy what they do -- they ought to have ANOTHER job and practice law or teach in their spare time?

Good for your friend. I have a friend who is a celebrated playwright in NZ, and he could only have got there with the PUBLIC SUPPORT he got when he was a nobody.

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer Well no something is only work when you're performing a task someone else will give you money in exchange for. So I mean writing poems is only a job if you write poems that are going to sell if you publish them, otherwise, it's an activity you are pursuing. The bottom line is this person is saying to everyone else, I want to do something that nobody deems worth supporting me financially on, so I'll lobby the government to force everyone in society to do it, willing or not.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp No, work is when you are performing a task that has VALUE. Whether or how much you are paid is not usually related to how much or hard you work. Just ask a housewife or a Chinese factory worker. The arts, by the way, has LOTS of economic value and supporting them is smart public policy. Look it up -- the return on investment is better than nearly any other sector.

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer Well what you are paid is relative to the supply and demand of what you can do. We need engineers and doctors and there aren't many to go around so they can command a premium, whereas anyone can work in a factory or warehouse. The CBC is supposed to be the flagship of promoting Canadian art and culture, yet we need to sink a billion dollars into it every single year for it to survive, in addition to the revenue the generate, it's not ad free ... That's good economics?

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Yes. It produces excellent journalism, dramas, documentaries and children's programs. Check out the annual operating budget of the BBC and see how much VALUE we get out of the CBC for our dollars.

What you are paid is related to how much power you have (or don't) -- women all over the world are expected to do domestic work for FREE. Third world factory workers are virtual slaves but with no labour movement to advocate for wages and benefits they get next to nothing.

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer I'm afraid I'd disagree, it puts out so much mediocre stuff, ie The Border, that was going to be their hit edgy drama, and it was beyond bad. It's biased programming, just promoting the downtown Torontonian view of life as if that's Canadian values by default.. But a recession is coming, deficits loom, and nobody is going to suffer too bad when the axe comes down in its direction. Keep some service for areas outside big cities, radio, news, but cut way back.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Provide examples of how it is "biased," please? (you might want to check the dictionary -- "biased" doesn't mean "things I don't like")

You didn't like one show. Again, not evidence of anything.

Do private broadcasters have a 100% success-rate?

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer Krista Erikson got caught giving a liberal MP a rundown on what questions she'd ask him before the interview, that's an example. And private broadcasters are just as bad in some cases, Fox is a real shit channel too, and I mean personally I don't even own a televsion so I don't follow shows and whatnot closely. But then, they can produce all the crap they want because it's on a shareholder's dollar. There must be a clear end if you want to spend taxpayer money, in all cases.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Yeah, and then Erikson was canned from covering politics by her boss. Now the embarrassment works for SunTV. I'd like a more comprehensive example since bias must be systemic, not isolated.

The CBC puts out reports regularly on its finances and programming -- I bet you can just download them if you looked. You can give them a call too. PRIVATE broadcasters have no mandate to serve the public with excellent programming, they're beholden to advertizers & don't owe you or me ANYTHING.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp "They can produce all the crap they want because it's on a shareholder's dollar."

'Nuff said.

Eliminate public agencies and arts funding and CRAP is all you'll get.

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer A lot of the best shows are privately made, like HBO miniseries like Band of Brothers, some great documentaries - National Geographic is non-profit, but it's not publically funded. Comedy if you're into it, Seinfeld, etc. I mean people act like Little Mosque on the Prairie was a good show, my god, it doesn't get much worse. I think they must have sat there, this show is not funny at all, but we get 5 multiculturalism supporter brownie points if we produce it!

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp I gave you a list of excellent CBC shows that is by no means comprehensive.

AGAIN, just 'cause you don't like something that's not an argument against public funding for the arts or our national broacaster.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Since all you could think of was The Border (which, despite it not counting you as a fan, lasted for 3 seasons and has been sold to markets all over the world), here's a list of excellent & popular CBC shows: Being Erica, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, This Hour Has 7 Days, Kids in the Hall, Mr Dressup, Royal Canadian Air Farce, Road to Avonlea, Street Legal, King of Kensington, The Hour, The Nature of Things, Cross Country Checkup, Morningside, Degrassi, Republic of Doyle, Fraggle Rock

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Anyone can work in a factory or warehouse? I'd like to see you slave away in a maquilladora for 16 hours every day. Anyone can be a slave, I guess, and why should we treat slaves with any decency? Fortunately I live in a place with the legacy of a strong labour movement -- so there exist things like weekends, and a minimum wage, and socialized health care, and safety standards.

FYI: we need artists too.

[dannymaclamp]

@zammmerjammer well I've not slaved 16 hour days in factories but I've worked in warehouses doing boring mindless jobs and it isn't fun. But we're getting off topic here, I didn't start advocating against rights for people of lower income in unskilled jobs. I have a lot more respect for someone who works very hard in a warehouse than someone who claims they should get unemployment benefits because they can't find work as a poet.

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Artists ARE by and large "lower income people" and I'm pointing out it is NOT, as you suggested, because they don't work hard. So, why do you afford respect to the hard-working factory worker and not the hard-working artist? (THAT is an example of bias, by the way)

[zammmerjammer]

@dannymaclamp Some art forms are simply not commercial. Does something only have value if it has a price? That sounds a lot like Rob Ford. Some things are not about profit.

For (a very relevant) example: public transit. It benefits the public hugely but it will NEVER be profitable. Should we just let it die and only have private transportation on select routes that people will pay for? The heavily used routes subsidize the rarely used ones but they are all necessary for the system to work.

[cheeriosinabowl]

@curious007cur

..... "survival of the fattest".

LOL -- Even as a Rob Ford supporter, I had to laugh at that line,  good chuckle.

[quincee33]

@curious007cur so just how much do you wanna pay in taxes? our city is in debt...our taxes are high........what would you do? we just had a socialist mayor that helped put us in this mess.

[SCROGY]

@curious007cur Bullshit. He's being fiscally responsible and trying to get rid of the waste, and this pisses off the Libtards because he's opposed by wasteful Liberal politicians who think it is their right to waste taxpayers money and support BS social programs. They are "entitled to their entitlements". Woody Harrelson can go fuck himself.

[curious007cur]

@SCROGY

Ford as fiscally responsible as Harper and Flaherty at the Toronto G8/G20 ...

Why do it for 12 million like Philedelphia when you can spend 600 million plus ...

Support the good old boys ...

And get re-elected.

Screw the needy and programs to create real and necessary jobs long term.

Privatize for profit where the rich skim off the lions share while providing nothing or degrading the service to the end user.

[SCROGY]

@curious007cur You mean those "needy" who were downtown disrupting hard working (mostly blue collar) citizens lives and destroying private property?

Long term jobs? What kind of car do you drive?

Councillors that take your taxes and spend them on idiotic and wasteful things?

[curious007cur]

@SCROGY

Long term jobs!

The one's the wealthiest 1% don't provide.

As they are skimming off more profits by firing workers in private and public sectors. Industrial jobs.

Banking jobs.

Good paying union jobs.

All for BIGGER AND BIGGER PROFITS for a handful of fat cats.

Ford's and Harper's fortune four hundred.

And their paid propagandists at the SUN News Network like Ezra Levant.

[SCROGY]

@curious007cur Once again what kind of car do you drive?

And try talking in complete sentences and not "salesman-ish" sound bites.

[PortugueseGina1]

@curious007cur fiscal responsibility is the term. What would happen to you if you didn't pay your mortgage or your rent? you wouldn't have a place to stay unless of course you're on welfare! the budgetting principles we should apply in our lives should exist in the government too. Spending beyond our means is suffocating! Good job Rob Ford.

[panelsofDOOM]

@PortugueseGina1 "fiscal responsibility," right. Cutting taxes and then complaining about not having the money to pay for services is not responsible.

The man can't even live up to any of the nonsense he spewed during his campaign. Where's the gravy Rob?

[PortugueseGina1]

@panelsofDOOM he's raising property taxes by 2.5%, land transfer tax hasn't been cut as of yet....so which taxes have been cut? I sure hope you're not referring to the vehicle registration tax. My definition of fiscal responsibility is trying to grab a hold of debt problems and scale back spending as necessary and he's doing just that!

[five5x]

@PortugueseGina1 What budgeting has Rob Ford done to improved Toronto?

[Baseshocks]

@five5x Saved millions by contracting out Garbage, eliminated the Eco car tax saving people money. That is just 2 of them... He is the only Mayer to have the balls to take on these over payed Union workers. I hope he subcontracts these TTC workers too. 100 thousand to work in a ticket booth fuck that shit.

[skeetergreen]

@PortugueseGina1 Household budgeting is absolutely nothing like city budgeting and trying to compare the two is supremely dishonest. More of that "common sense!" nonsense that sounds good to stupid people who don't understand things or think too much.

[imN0Ttheone]

What an idiot

[Parafreakingdiso]

"Afterall he's a ford not a lincoln"

[garycalgary]

woody harleson can kick back and celebrate 420 while i lick his bod

[thepunkfish109]

2:32 Awesome.

[teebrron]

these guys are smoking the good medicinal and we all get stuck with the dirt weed going around.

[FinlaythePug]

3:23 Well said Woody.

[kilgoretroutcanada]

So Woody read the Star or spoke to his pals in the Tdot media. Ford has been Mayor for almost a year now and all I've seen is a city council engaged with the public in debate and progressive, yet, conservative (not the party) initiatives being fast-tracked by concensus. That's good government regardless of your ideology, unless your in intolerant of democracy.

[zammmerjammer]

@kilgoretroutcanada How was Ford "engaged with the public in debate" by unilaterally killing Transit City? Check out some of Ford's tantrums here on YouTube from his days as a loud-mouthed city councillor to see how tolerant and capable he is of "debate."

[trancis36]

This is brilliant... I can't stand Blob Ford but I have to agree on one thing with him(only one)... Get rid of the Streetcars... It only clogs the city and create more traffic... We need more subway route... it's the only way for a city growing as fast as Toronto... Toronto is/was the 3rd most livable city in the world is going to go way down on the scale.

[teedot]

@trancis36 I agree, but only in certain areas. King and Queen routes, at least west of Yonge, need to go underground. King and Queen street is essentially a one lane street during rush hour because of the streetcars. And if you get stuck behind some tool who doesn't know how to pass the thing safely, which is 99.9% of the time, then you get a massive traffic jam behind. It once took me 45 mins to get from King and University to King and Jameson during rush hour. I can walk that in 20...

[teedot]

@trancis36 With all the condos that are going up, and those that are still PLANNED to go up... how the heck is this city's infrastructure going to handle the population surge? Especially with the majority of it concentrated between Ashbridges Bay and The EX in new condos.. I lived on Queens Quay a couple of years ago and took the streetcar to work. I'd sometimes have to wait for 3 or 4 to pass as they were completely full. I can't imagine what things are going to be like in another 10 yrs.

[HOORVT]

[Doombot85]

Mayor Rob Ford is an embarrassment to the city of Toronto. And I thought Mel Lastman was bad ! Who is a biggest moron than Ford ? NOOOOOOOOOOOBODY !!

[Ledo10111111111]

@Doombot85 LOL!

[Donryall]

Did you expect anything less from a socialist VISITOR than a dope filled slam? Who cares about anything this ganja filled loser says ?

[77inthedark]

@Donryall 61 to your, 4 asshole.

so Ford is the one who's making people pay to go to the city parks. And only the locals! visitors get to go for free. ExCUSE me? I think that 's an attack on homeless people who might live in the parks. That's one thing if yo're then providing homes for them. But, if Woody's suggestion is true, that Ford is getting rid of, or not caring about, low income housing, then, where are they supposed to live? Whew, glad I live in Saskatchewan!

[eatmeskivys]

@RachelEMacD  so are we

[RachelEMacD]

@eatmeskivys Wait, do you live in Saskatchewan too? If not, you can eat ME skivys!!!

[eatmeskivys]

@RachelEMacD  we'll send them all your way...idiot

[tickattack]

What a great, great funny line. "He's a Ford, not a Lincoln." I love you Woody!

[cheeriosinabowl]

@tickattack

... funny line? I thought it was stupid, a cheap shot from a hollywood "star".

[jelinto]

Fuckin' eh. Let's stop always steering the marijuana debate towards recreational pot smoking. Let's start talking more about the medicinal benefits. But mostly let's start talking more about the benefits of hemp production. Let's start talking about how hemp can be used for food, building materials, clothing material, and fuel. Let's start talking about how hemp could help solve many of the world's problems, and how it's been demonized by misinformation, misunderstanding and propaganda.

[jelinto]

...nobody has any trouble acquiring pot to smoke recreationally. But hemp based products are being suppressed by the establishment, so they can keep their pulp and paper, textile, lumber, oil, etc., industries intact.

@schoolboy31WillitEnd anyone who adopts the title "queer" has BIG issues...

[therockstarsonline]

this guy has no clue what he is talking about... light rail was dead long before Rob Ford was mayor... go smoke another bowl, Woody...

[terrancelueckgen]

i would like to here more from woody

[misterbizzones]

@schoolboy31WillitEnd high five for exemplifying his voter base to a t.

[eqsmooth]

very strange man but he is just being who he is. Jian should have said "Stoned, Cold Villain".

[rxc128]

Ah for fuck sakes another leftist fool, mind your own business, go back to the USA and impeach that asshole you helped get in power, jackass. Soon I wont be able to watch any fucking movies unless these assholes learn this, entertain us and then shut your idiot mouths.

[wjameswright]

And we care what he thinks about Rob Ford because...............

[Baseshocks]

@wjameswright he said he knows him threw his buddies, but he has no clue whats going on in the city, light rail is just slowing traffic its not creating more space for transportation, subways are the way to go. Ford is the peoples Mayer, he is doing exactly what he said, he does not give a shit about lobbyist groups etc... everyone knows where Ford stands.

[Outforjustice100]

Thank woody.....love ya man, fk Ford,woody knows the Guy is a dish served cold,he tell it as it is,meaning it is what it is,rob ford is a hater,and he hates union employeys,he fired 28 cleaner that cleaned cop shops,19 hour he says get workers for $12 what does he pay his worker,print shop. Ford go to hell

[Baseshocks]

@Outforjustice100 Unions get too much, the postal union striking cause they want 7 weeks off a year instead of 6. the garbage union striking for a month. all these fuckers get paid better then the average person and they bitch for more. for what so the city can raise taxes. we could talk about the ttc cash collectors getting paid 100,000 a year...... the general public don't give a fuck about unions anymore, they have too much power, why do you think Ford was voted in, were sick of this shit.

[imre420]

@Baseshocks Oh so you want everybody to be poor then? Lets drag everybody who isn't making seven figures into the poor house. Screw the middle class, lets make landless serfs of the lot. If you are not rich you have no brains...

[venividivici1979]

@Baseshocks So then Ford should take on the unions and not social services. Not sure how your argument has anything to do with the situation that is happening right now.  Focus, rethink and try again.

[Baseshocks]

@venividivici1979 you should rethink and try again, with city union wages set to a more reasonable amount then the city has more money for social services............

[cheeriosinabowl]

Woody Harrelson?  The guy on that Cheers show? I thought he died. Oh well.

[theblahs]

@cheeriosinabowl Natural Born Killers... the fuck were you doing?

[jeddawie]

[lyricleigh]

[duderanch18237]

@happy792

If you say so, but you don't live here, I do. Mom jokes really? Are we still living in the 80's?

[darkknight302]

awesome woody

[roybruno]

so NOW....get someone who has no connection politically to the city to comment on Rob Ford to make them feel like the smug school child...they don't have much local folk talk about it in their rag.

[janecoolhand]

wanted to see the whole interview!



[PotHead416]

he is so baked lmao

[duderanch18237]

I'm from Toronto, and Rob Ford was exactly what the city needed... someone to cut through all the bureaucratic BS and wasting of money.

[DavidEdwardSchnell]

I never knew u were a legalization advocate for THC. Your work is all I ever cared about!

[TheBigMclargehuge]

His face is creepy.

[StrawberryBigMac]

[maskof]

Most politicians do a great job,, for their buddies. The iconoclasts, dissidents and revolutionaries tend to get assassinated.

[mhjrt]

I like Woody Harrelson and I liked the interview! Although Woody might be a bit too laid back person for a well structured interview!

[ariexmae]

"Happy 420 btw" haha awesome.

[DiseaseIsMyGame]

[thefatman69dude]

woody harrelson is such a great actor, his point of views to me dont really matter, even though I agree with him, his performances as characters have always been my heroes. I love the guy, so keep going woody ur the man.
