Trying to find an item on today's #TOCouncil agenda that might warrant inclusion in the scorecard. Coming up short.

So all that "what's next on Rob Ford's agenda" stuff landed on OMB appeals?

This debate does highlight that current OMB process is ridiculous. But @JoshMatlow already passed a motion to deal with that.

Just like old times.

#topoli 34-4? 36-2? Wow.

.@kristynwongtam's motion to ask feds for gun registry data passes 39-5. The Ford Powers Explode (ie. vote differently) http://twitpic.com/9j77ot

Council just approved liquor license for Lebanese Nights event. Provided he doesn't misread the invitation, mayor will consider attending.

Nunziata to Perks: "Point of personal privilege: old people can't drink?"

New motto.

RT @NOWTorontoNews

Giorgio Mammoliti just shouted "We're the largest pimps in North America!" on the floor of council #TOpoli

"I hate this extension rule," says Mammoliti. "We're changing it," says Nunziata. As far as I know, no rule exists.

Councillor Cho says that shooting guns isn't a good sport. Suggests chipping contests or badminton instead.

"I got an idea, why don't we lock up all the knives in the city?" says Doug Ford. "That's how ridiculous this motion is." It's late.

Whoa. Josh Colle says "Councillor Perks just told me to 'Fuck off.'" Perks withdraws the remark and apologizes. It's late.

Guess Rogers is happy they're not broadcasting this on Channel 10 at the moment.
