So, according to Rob and Doug Ford, Rob isn't a homophobe, he's a spendaphobe.
Rob Ford's own actions related to pride in the not so distant past (refusing to attend, trying to stop the city from flying the pride flag for example) speak quite clearly to where he stands with respect to gay rights.
However, that isn't the point of this post. It is the ridiculous moniker of "spendaphobe" that needs to be talked about.
Typical of what we've come to expect from conservative politicians in the last decade, this is nothing more than a piece of jingoism. It's a meaningless term designed to deflect attention away from the issue at hand.
Rob Ford spends ... often like a drunken sailor, and most of his claims of saving the City of Toronto billions of dollars are largely lies. Further, Ford's conduct over the last year and a bit have demonstrated repeatedly that the man is a compulsive liar. Almost every time he has been confronted with his own misconduct, he has lied to Canadians.
So, as a voter in Toronto, would you believe his latest round of denials?
