1. No, please Rob. Drop it. Just plain drop it. Drop your delusions of grandeur Drop your delusions of competence. We (the rest of us) didn’t have any fun.

2. He is also still pushing his bro’ to run for the Ontario PC leadership. I think he didn’t get the memo that it would be in poor taste to have his brother run against Jim Flaherty’s widow especially after Flaherty was so supportive of the Ford family.

   Hegel remarks somewhere[*] that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. Caussidière for Danton, Louis Blanc for Robespierre, the Montagne of 1848 to 1851[66] for the Montagne of 1793 to 1795, the nephew for the uncle. And the same caricature occurs in the circumstances of the second edition of the Eighteenth Brumaire.

   Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do
   not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing
   already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead
   generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as
   they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating
   something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary
   crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service,
   borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present
   this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language.
   Thus Luther put on the mask of the Apostle Paul, the Revolution of 1789-1814
   draped itself alternately in the guise of the Roman Republic and the Roman
   Empire, and the Revolution of 1848 knew nothing better to do than to parody,
   now 1789, now the revolutionary tradition of 1793-95. In like manner, the
   beginner who has learned a new language always translates it back into his
   mother tongue, but he assimilates the spirit of the new language and expresses
   himself freely in it only when he moves in it without recalling the old and
   when he forgets his native tongue.

4. Please focus on being a councillor for your ward but mostly, please just stay out of the limelight and spend time with your family. The people have spoken.
