Time for a non-musical moment: What finer gesture than bringing some Pride to Rob Ford's cottage

I'm more musical than political, but I can't help but applaud a group of people who are, I gather, planning to parade their way up to Rob Ford's cottage this weekend, where he is honouring "tradition" and "family" instead of acting as mayor of all Torontonians.

Part of taking on this kind of a job means sacrificing a lot (if not most) of one's personal life. It's one of the many reasons why otherwise capable and qulified people don't take on public service.

Anyway, brining a bit of colour to cottage country is not a bad idea, is it? For more information on how to join this fabulous flash mob, email info@proudoftoronto.com and check out the group's website or Facebook page.

Let's turn for inspiration to Little Britain's Matt Lucas (as regular character Dafydd), in a number from the live stage show:

Marching in a parade is not part of the job description of being the mayor. It is a free country however and the freedom to gear up and look like a fool should work for those who choose not to.
