QUOTED: Doug Ford engages in a little monkey business during the Sheppard subway debate
—The reliably voluble Doug Ford earlier today, expressing frustration with his fellow primates councillors as the Sheppard Avenue transit debate stretches on (he later apologized). Rob Ford also spoke up during day two of the meeting with a familiar refrain: “People want subways folks…subways, subways. They don’t want these damn streetcars blocking up our city!” We’re expecting a few more speeches (and outbursts) this afternoon and—fingers crossed—a vote. [Torontoist]

You mean your city, your corporate coffers, your ego, your ideas to put more people out of work.
I hope voters will remember this childlike behaviour come election time.
It’s not like he was being racist – he wasn’t referring to councillors of colour.
