Yes, ol’ Giorgio Mammoliti has been really becoming unhinged as of late. McCarthyism is indeed alive and well over at City Hall. A Facebook group that won’t allow ‘commies’, although, one seems to have slipped through, but the comment has been scrubbed. Damn! shoulda taken a screen shot.
First, was his spying at the Toronto Pride parade with his handy cam, looking for any black marks while Mayor Boss Hogg was safely hiding away at the cottage, LGBT free. Now, he’s proving to be even nuttier than the original Joseph McCarthy:
“I’m really sick and tired of hearing from the communists in this city,” he said in an interview. “I don’t want anything to do with them. I don’t want to listen to them. I don’t want to listen to their griping and their whining. I want to listen to people who are clearly working for a living, and wanting their tax dollars to be used in a particular way. I’m clearly trying to wean out the typical communist thinker who will be doing nothing but whining.”
Hard to believe he used to be a member of the ONDP and yes, a union man of some stripe:
“I’m going to say something that might be very controversial for the city, but it’s my view that the communist movement in Toronto is hidden, and it’s hidden through one of its major parties, and I used to belong to that party,” said Mr. Mammoliti, who was an MPP for the NDP party during the 90s.
Oh my, I think he needs a little rest, in an a sanitarium with padded walls, heavily sedated.
“It’s very clear to me, many of the directions that the former City of Toronto took in planning was done in a very intelligent way that brought policies closer to the objectives of the Communist Party.”
David Miller was a communist? Former city of Toronto? It’s no longer the city of Toronto? Oh yeah! Silly me! Mayor Boss Hogg’s ‘Gino Boy’ just confirmed that Toronto is no longer Toronto. It’s now Ford Nation, because everybody knows that fascism is just so much more desirable than democracy.
Anyhow, back to Giorgio’s facebook page, well, here’s more on that subject:
I will be monitoring their comments,” he said, “and if I get a smell of communism, they’re off the page.” Asked by a laughing reporter how he would smell communism, Mammoliti laughed and said, “Only Mammoliti has that keen sense of smell.”
He may need help from The Dukes of Hazard’s Shirriff Roscoe P Coltrane’s old basset hound, Flash for that– as mentioned above, one did sneek past, although the comment was scrubbed this morning. It seems that many comments have been scrubbed to the chagrin of many.
Other group members, however, have denounced Ford and Mammoliti. Several complained that critical posts had been deleted. One wrote, “It’s distressing that a member of city council. . . would elect to delete the voice of the people — any people — when they express their opinions after being invited to do so. It’s called discourse.”
Like I said, it does look like we’re (not just Toronto) moving in a direction where dissent is being silenced. Anybody who disagrees with the administration is dismissed as a pinko commie whose opinions don’t count, where their antidote is simply a dismissive ’get a job’. They do not realize that many who do dissent and wish to express those views do work and there are those who vote in those neo-con clowns who are actually unemployed or underemployed. It’s about time we started realizing those realities.
McCarthyism is a growin’ in Canada as we all know: commies, Muslims and Anti-Zionists. There will be more, I’m sure. Mammoliti is nothing more than a Shirriff Roscooo P Coltrane. Jason Kenney and Supter Toews are leading the charge in the rest of Canada.
Oh, and enjoy the photo op Mayor Boss Hogg & Mammoliti, the shirriff had.

It is revealing that, in a time of high unemployment, these good old boys only have time for people with jobs.
hi CK…good one. But shouldn’t bubbah Ford be holding donuts instead of bagels?

What? Those are doughnuts! Cut out of a photo from the Calgary stampede. Those ain’t sesame seeds, that’s very large sugar crystals!
I am thankful that I am a hardworking citizen who lives in Toronto. Giorgio makes a good point when he states “I want to listen to people who are clearly working for a living, and wanting their tax dollars to be used in a particular way.” Since I do work, I want to state that I would like my tax dollars to go into building a downtown relief subway line. I also want my tax dollars to go into making downtown Yonge Street into a pedestrian-only zone. I want my tax dollars to go into more bike lanes. I want my tax dollars to go into libraries. I don’t want my tax dollars to go into a bloated police-state bureaucracy.
I get tired of hearing from people who are too lazy to work. You know?–Old people who collect government and private pensions. Young people shouldn’t be going to school because ejucation costs money. If they want money, they can work for it delivering ad-pamphlets and flyers. I also hate those stupid Pride Week festivals and parades. Why can’t they hold these events in cottage country? Mayor Doug Ford and his brother, Rob, hate gay parades. They would rather be at their family cottage. I will agree with Giorgio that Toronto’s hookers should be working on Centre Island. Thankfully, Toronto’s prostitutes aren’t lazy a–holes who bitch about government services. I like the idea of hookers being both ride-ticket collectors and sexual servants. Imagine hookers offering extra services on the train ride, in the commie haunted house, on the bumper cars, on the gondola ride and the mechanical swans. I like the idea of Canadians making love on the log ride.

Yanno, I think now would be a good time for Terri-Jean Bedford to lock up all those clowns in her dungeon and to give them ‘special’ treatment with that trademark riding crop of her’s.
