yeah, it's important to remember that the only ITOs we've seen so far are the ones used to get warrants for Lisi, not Ford (and even those were heavily redacted). There's buckets of stuff out there that we haven't seen yet. I hope we do, some day.

meanwhile, the sun is covering doug's absolutely epic meltdown against tory. quality stuff.

speaking of, anyone got any ideas what rob and doug's angle of Waterfront TO is? seems like they've been trying to unilaterally take over since day one. my assumption is that they're realizing they hate elected politics - doug especially. something public-sector but unelected (like waterfront...

does anyone know what exactly the criteria are for 'campaigning at city hall?' in this speech, ford talks explicitly about john tory and his transit proposals. tory is currently a private citizen with literally no interests in the running of the city of toronto. his only interest to ford is...

i wish you were right, but it doesn't matter. remember, he's already promised once before that he's "100% finished" with drink and drugs, on camera. and then. . . well, you know the rest. Ford will get blotto again, will get caught, and will simply brush it off. and a non-trivial number of...

So just to recap, Ford's actually got a seat on the board of Waterfront TO, and the director of Waterfront TO has come to City Hall to try to meet with Ford, but Ford's never been to a board meeting or made an availability? And now he's complaining about them? And the assembled media nodded...

very much agree, and it must be an excruciating job. but they're playing right into the 'rob as victim' narrative right now, and they're making his drunkenness the big issue. i think most of us here agree that Ford would be a crap mayor even stone sober - hammer the guy on his judgement, on...

bingo. and a random person on twitter was able to come up with that information in minutes. . . come on, Toronto media! Get stuck in!

jesus, the media should quit fluffing him on this alcohol BS. nothing's going to come of re-asking it. instead, ask him why he abdicated his duty on Waterfront TO and why he's campaigning at city hall.

i don't have twitter, but please - PLEASE - forward this ASAP to peat/dale/proskow/et al. ford really, really needs to be confronted on this. it's not enough to just complain about stuff: he was on the effin' board and in a position to do something about it, but couldn't be bothered.

yeah, I assumed it was Bell's Palsy. Could be viral, or it could be autoimmune. It's permanent in ~20% of cases, so it may never 'diminish' in her case.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if this is Stintz's A-game, she simply doesn't deserve the job.

Ford doubling down on the 1.1 billion dollar savings figure. Selley allows him to run overtime with it, cut off a rebuttal. Best Selley can manage is "there are some different interpretations available on that number." This is a joke.

jesus christ - who the hell chose these questions? they're all just red meat BS for Rob!

god, what an ugly mess this debate is wow, though - is Tory the only one with the stones to go after Ford?

Ford: "I am the king of Toronto community housing. Why don't we have the next debate in TCH?"

a very smart play for Tory, I think, is going to be to just act like a nice, boring, stable old white guy.

i get it, but this is sort of the canadian dilemma in a nutshell: until you or someone like you becomes the confrontational type, the loudest jerk in the room wins.

why not tell him to shut up so that the grownups can hear the debate?

well, screw it. fair play to ford. when you can lie without consequence, and ignore the moderator's questions, and have your goon squad heckle the other candidates, why the hell not? this is really turning into a "fool me once. . ." scenario, and increasingly it looks bad on the rest of...
