Flyer - Saturday, April 26th, 2014

Rob Ford throws a black party every year where he bribes his constituents with Bar-B-Que food. It is called "Ford Fest". The name of this show is a pot shot at that. This show is also a record release show for the new Shit From Hell single "Mayor on Crack".  I heard Strange Attractor also have a release coming out tonight. And the Cola Heads are opening the whole thing up. The stunned look matches the Mayor who suffered another loss this week when the person he hired to head up the Toronto Housing Authority was fired for essentially creating a workplace environment that was unworkable. The Mayor threatened that there would be "chaos" and that he would re-hire him when he was voted back in. Wishful thinking and a part of a long list of Ford gravy train as his cronies continue to get payouts for jobs they are unqualified to do.
