True. But the confrontation with Warmington was on the phone. Hard to claim that a phone call presents a threat to your kids. I suppose he could allege that Warmington said something ludicrous, but it's not really the same golden opportunity as a physical meeting that no one else saw. And as...

Those were not "one-on-one" in the sense I meant it. Other people were around. Both were recorded and the video is available to the public. Ford's confrontation with Dale is the only one I'm aware of in which no one else was around. He doesn't have the same room to lie about what happened...

I doubt Ford liked having his plans to buy public land exposed, but maybe it's more a question of opportunity? To my knowledge, no other reporter has had a one-on-one confrontation with him. As for the specific content of the smear, Dale is a small, boyish-looking man who wears glasses and...

It's not too late for Dale to add Doug as a defendant in the lawsuit, AFAIK. If Rob is going to continue the slander through Doug then that may have to be done. Edit: I'm not up on Ontario libel law but I see that filing the notice is required before one can sue. Anyway, since Doug repeated...

I hope so too, but regardless, the officer who saw the footage would have made a written record at the time and she will be able to testify on that point.

Won't work. Even if the neighbour did say that, Ford was directly informed that the neighbour's account was not true, and he repeated it as if it were. Repeating a defamation is defamation. Honestly, I don't see how Ford wriggles out of this one. Ford Nation is already all over Facebook and...

Sadly, perjury isn't really a thing. It's on the books, but the odds of Ford being charged with it are infinitesimal, even if he repeatedly lies in court.

I don't think it's a conflict of interest for Dale to report on aspects of city hall business that don't involve this lawsuit or the events leading up to it. He's in a dispute with Ford personally, not Ford as mayor, and not the whole city government. Anyway, as Edward Keenan noted, Dale...

I don't think it's negligent. I think it's intentional. I've always been quite fascinated by the perfect colour match between his hair and his teeth. I hope any escorts who may have got close to him were paid very well. Or were blind, deaf and anosmic. Ideally all of those things.

Ah, I missed that. Another one of Doug's lies.

I covered that earlier in this thread. It is a real name. I was told by Rust D'Eye's daughter (15+ years ago, so my memory may be playing tricks) that it comes from the marital union of two families, the Rusts and the D'Eyes. Sort of like hyphenation, but without the hyphen. Although...

True enough re: the real estate, but not the other things I mentioned. Ford doesn't rent his Escalade; it was an outright gift from Doug. And Doug just announced he's making a $50,000 donation to the city for park improvement. It just is not plausible that he would do that (or that he would...

I agree. People who haven't seen the family law system up close think there's no way a judge would let Rob take the kids away from Renata or even have joint custody of them with her. But even if that were true (which it isn't, with every judge), the law moves slowly, it takes months or years...

$4 million in annual sales would not fund the Fords' lifestyles, IMO. That palatial spread of Diane's, Doug giving Rob a new SUV as a birthday present, incurring $100K in legal fees to try to avoid paying a $3,150 fine, the cottage, etc., etc. -- people who take home less than $200K a year (per...

Re the name Rust D'Eye, Mr. Rust D'Eye's daughter told me years ago the name appeared when Lord Rust (possibly Mr. Rust, can't remember his exact title) married Lady D'Eye.

I don't think RoFo really has FAS facial features. I do think it's likely he has some significant intellectual impairments though.

For how long? Anyone can be pleasant for a few minutes or a few hours. Ted Bundy was apparently very charming. So was Paul Bernardo.

IIRC Doug was responsible for expanding it into the States, and that's gone well. He's repulsive on every level, but he does seem to have some business sense.

I don't even get it. And his reference to "sacrificing his life" -- what the hell? I don't doubt he's worked hard (I mean, even his hash dealing enterprise seems to have been highly disciplined) but most people who've worked really hard for lucrative careers don't refer to it as "sacrificing...

Agreed. I understand people's discomfort with the prurience, but I'm also getting this sense that some of the commenters here (male commenters, in particular) think that behaviour that has to do with sex is inherently not a problem, and the only people who might be troubled by any of this are...
