    Rob Ford's Toronto

    The Fords live in Ward 4, and consider GLL a nuisance. Their attitude seems to be that it is their ward by rights. Both Doug and Rob Ford were outspoken regarding Humbertown. So was the actual Councillor, of course.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    "If I read Jude's post correctly, Ford talks to a contact at the school board to find out what equipment is needed and roughly how much it will cost. He promises to cover the cost after the purchase is made and the actual cost is known (they probably fax him the invoice). He then asks the TCF to...

    Ted Bundy cried about investigators finding out he had a thing for socks when they went through his place as part of a serial murder investigation. People aren't always rational. And what seems minor to others, in context of what seems like more significant information, can be a critical part of...

    The Rob Ford Football Foundation supplies a cheque for equipment after receiving an invoice from a supplier, provided by a school with which the foundation has an agreement. Rob Ford has testified, under oath, that this is what his foundation does. Nothing more, nothing less.

    On the stand at trial, Ford clarified that his foundation did *not* fund Don Bosco. I challenged Warmington about a similar claim, and he backed down. The list skitters around, but the foundation has no meaningful public presence, and there is no thorough documentation to check against. From...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    newearthling, during the 2012 radio show, Diane, Doug and Rob spoke about Robyn Doolittle asking questions at the time of Michael Gonet's death. She'd know where it fits into the spiral. She's written about how Ford's performance improved after the election, then took another hit. She has not...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Exactly what I've been thinking about since the news broke (https://twitter.com/judemacdonald/status/454337052092289024). The brothers & Diane spoke about this somewhat obliquely during the 2012 Mother's Day radio show. G20 justice watchers: This Walter Gonet.

    It depends on what you mean by "meaningful consequences." The breach was addressed, meaning the behaviour / offence was rectified. Ford had his City phone number and email address listed on his campaign website, for example. Both were removed the same day I wrote Leiper about the problem. If...

    That's Mammo being Mammo. Because more than half an hour had passed since the votes, some of the councillors who had voted were no longer in chambers. This is why someone who votes in error needs to alert the speaker to the error immediately following a vote. Why should the mayor's sloppiness...
