I have never met Jude, nor can I speak for her, but I do know of her, and have interacted with her, and find it very unlikely that she said "Speculative (sic) sports".

Thanks, my bad. Don't want to confuse the issue any further.

No worries!

TBH, it wouldn't surprise me if CP24 actually did make an offer to interview & avoid the scandal.

No, no no, it's ok, we will only talk about your writing sessions with Brain Wilson Mr. Manson, sure, happy to do so. s/ Cynthia Mulligan

Haha that's funny. Manson was more involved with Dennis than Brian. But still, funny!

Here is the link to the entirety of Jude's filing. Interesting reading and very thoroughly investigated.

ETA: Nice work at "putting the dots together" Jude & co.

Huh. I read "avoid the scandal" as meaning not have that as one of the topics of the interview, with the aim of getting any kind of interview at all. Same way you promise a movie star not to ask about their messy divorce but only their new movie. The scandal was already out there, so it's not like CityCynthia was suppressing info. I'm not saying this is outstanding journalism but it seems pretty routine.

Doug Ford served at debate with what appeared to be legal documents

Doug doubles down, again.

"That's just not accurate...furthest from the truth," Doug says when told of emails showing mayor's staff were involved in campaign work.

Whatever Doug says, the opposite is true. Therefore, it's the truth.

 

[Videodrome]

The upcoming debates should be great now!

Ever come across a sentence where you just straight-up have no idea what the person is saying, but you know that it's a correct sentence nonetheless?

The 88 must be piano keys but im stumped at modal. Got me thinking hper might jus be a hepcat.

even furiners south of the border

Yes, would be happy to contribute. COI rules are important, and seeing them repeatedly breached with seeming impunity infuriates me! My thanks to Jude for taking action.

On further reflection, perhaps CP24 was correct in it's decision to try to avoid any scandals with Merryl Rob. I believe you maybe familiar with this footage, Mayor Shanks, with what can happen when the biased media gets out of line.

Bets on Doug pulling out? (so he can sit at Rob's sick bed of course)

no way no how! I bet $100.
Fords don't reverse well at all. He will simply keep claiming its all false.
