Can't provide more info here... But they terrorize anyone who isn't a straight, Orthodox, ethnically Russian person. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-4812654326567088742014-02-10T06:09:42.053-05:002014-02-10T06:09:42.053-05:00I cut him slack for his addiction issues having be...I cut him slack for his addiction issues having been there myself but that does not mitigate his bigotry one iota.

It couldn't even be taken seriously. Like how stupid is this guy? How out of touch is this person? <br /><br />While other Mayors, and some provincial governments. were putting up the flag , he wanted it down and then put a Canadian flag in his window. Guess he doesn't know that there are a lot of LGBT people who are patriotic Canadians who not only are politicians but give the ultimate patriotic gift by fighting and dying in wars for Canada.<br /><br />Simon, there is nothing ford does which suprises me and there is nothing he does which is to be taken seriously. He is not playing with a full deck. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-64594782820026902522014-02-09T05:48:10.161-05:002014-02-09T05:48:10.161-05:00hi lagatta...thanks for the link, I really like th...hi lagatta...thanks for the link, I really like that mural. The one good thing to come out of these Olympics is all the support it has gathered for the LGBT people in Russia. Every small act of solidarity moves me enormously. Hopefully the Russians will understand if they want to be seen as a modern advanced nation they have to get those hairy religious fanatics out of politics. Because that's the real problem. Putin is catering to them, and his small man insecurities, and the outrageous decision to let neo-nazis roam freely in a country where 20 million were killed by the Hitlerites is taking the country down the toilet. Or should I say TWO toilets... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-16865206999695572042014-02-09T05:37:24.766-05:002014-02-09T05:37:24.766-05:00hi anon...yes he is doing everything to try to sta...hi anon...yes he is doing everything to try to stay in the public eye. Just about all he does these days is turn up at any event where there might be a camera. I also understand that his brother Dougie has hired an ad agency to try to make the two of them look good, and that the ads look suspiciously like the ones the Harper Cons bombard us with. Good luck with that one...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-51664940183946015172014-02-09T05:30:12.056-05:002014-02-09T05:30:12.056-05:00hi Kev...thanks for the clarification, but really ...hi Kev...thanks for the clarification, but really how many people these days talk about "sexual preference." As if you choose to be gay. The right word is orientation, and the man is a homophobic beast. I'd be harsher on him if I didn't see him as a man with a very serious drug problem who should seek help immediately. And who I wonder will help us get rid of him? Where are the police when we need them ???? ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-23120030468977681692014-02-08T08:37:22.915-05:002014-02-08T08:37:22.915-05:00I'm just enraged, not so much at this sorry tu...I'm just enraged, not so much at this sorry turd, as by all his enablers.
