By a vote of 39-3, councillors passed the motion stripping Ford's appointment powers. By a vote of 41-2, councillors passed the motion removing his emergency powers.

I love pigs .... they're adorable. Ford's adorability is more at the level of maggot, imho.

I was glad to see too, cali, that they've knocked him down a few pegs, his arrogance seems to know no limits.

3. Why is he Mayor Pig when I am told I musn't refer to

Christie as a Fat Cat?

6. the definition of pig is not fat

having said that, I don't have a problem with calling Christie a fat cat. That's not synonymous with overweight or fat either.

8. Don't think you'd get many arguments here as it's an historic label for manipulative wealthy people.

Still, kind of a burden on cats...LOL
