The Antisocial Socialist

All right, so the next four years are kind of going to be shit for Toronto. Be prepared to kiss goodbye functional transit, Pride funding, arts funding, community housing, parks and rec. Be prepared for this city to become the cold, hateful place that the rest of Canada thinks it is. Be prepared for open bigotry in public discourse, crackdowns on free speech and free expression, cops on the street getting all up in your business. This nightmare might not unfold as I fear, but it might, so get ready.

As a precautionary measure, I suggest preciseness in speech. Don't just call him Ford*. Call him "Our Honourable Wife-Beating Mayor." Call him "Ford, That Guy Who Was Arrested for Drunk Driving." Refer to his frequent bouts of racism and homophobia. Remind your friends, relatives, and co-workers of his history. Shift the discourse so that we may, over the next four years, put him on the defensive.

On this blog, our new Honourable Wife Beating Mayor, Who Said That Gay Men Deserve to get HIV, "Orientals" Work Like Dogs, and Who Was Once Arrested for Drunk Driving and Then Lied About It, will from now on be known as the Beast.*

P.S. THE GREEN ROOM GOT CLOSED. It's official; Toronto sucks.

* And for the love of kittens and puppies, do not call him "that fat fuck."

** Why is Spider Jerusalem not a real guy? This is unfair.
