It's a safety measure for women travelling alone after 9PM, as she's at greater risk of assault than a man or two women.

Are you one of those people who sees the words "gender equity" and automatically dismisses whatever comes after as rubbish? In any case, way to miss the point BurlOak. You're in good company with Rob Ford, who was one of only two who voted against the motion. Thanks AoD for two consecutive sharp...

Yes, and it's probably crack.

My guess? Matlow has long term ambitions to be mayor. He probably made a strong play for the EC and wasn't happy about being shut out. I can't really blame him. Tory is trying to placate Ford Nation with his selections instead of unifying council as he claimed he would during the election. It's...

Huh. Bet Dad never thought his progeny would tweet this for all the world to see. Assuming it's true though, I can't imagine anyone here is surprised. Given all the research we have collectively done on pleomorphic liposarcomas (notwithstanding our collective lack of days in medical school -...

I love the annual Xmas get up at NPS, but I abhor crowds, so the lighting ceremony has never been my cup of tea. But last year I attended for the sole purpose of booing Mayor Halfwit. I felt it was my civic duty.

Actually, there was a response and it was pretty sweet. Best part? It came from Tory's spokesperson, not Tory. No need for John Tory to get down and dirty in a Doug Ford pile of shit.

Oh Doug. Wonder how he's going to feel starting Monday when no one but Joey Worms will call him up to find out what he thinks about anything? Doug's second favourite thing about being a city councillor was all the media attention that came with being Rob Ford's brother. (His favourite, of...

I don't know. I also don't know which one is in charge of purchasing batteries. But I feel like I should.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. There's no way Doug is passing on the race without some kind of promise of future favours from Elliott. A shot at MPP, with a promise of an important role, seems the most likely guess. That said, the Fords don't really make deals. They do what they...

Canadian Lawyer magazine calls Marie Henein "one of the most sought-after criminal lawyers in the country". She's worked on several high profile cases and worked with Eddie Greenspan, probably the best known lawyer in Canada. The Globe describes her as "formidable, confident and razor-sharp"...

Ford's previous COI was heard roughly 9 months after it was filed. whatthe has noted that the five days allotted (vs. 2 in the previous case) could be why it will take so much longer. Is it also possible that the longer timeframe is because of the Fords submitted a motion for dismissal which...

Hilarious!!

Or maybe it does and the banana split was second dessert. And I suspect a banana with 3 scoops of ice cream is that man's idea of eating fruit.

Agreed, but they have him on wiretap threatening people related to the video, thanks to Project Traveller. WTF. From the Star article: http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2014/11/12/sandro_lisi_headed_to_trial_in_march_reportedly_after_turning_down_plea.html Question: are these wiretap...

When I worked in communications for the province, a speech like that would have been written weeks in advance. It would have gone through multiple revisions with edits from staff and the actual speaker. It might only be finalized last minute, but the speaker would have rehearsed and lots of eyes...

To be fair, Ford only withdrew from the event last night, leaving his replacement very little time to prepare remarks and deliver them perfectly by this morning. I guess we can say it demonstrated a lack of preparation and care, but most of us would expect more than 24 hours to prep before...

Maybe Ford thought Ceta R. is the councillor for the ward in which the ceremony is taking place. (She's not.) He probably now knows that she isn't, but found Kristyn Wong-Tam, who is the ward councillor, too unpalatable to replace him.

Awesome. It's like Rob Ford's health is stepping up to do what his sense of shame should have been doing all along.

This is really helpful - it helps illustrate the kind of 'obstacles' I imagine the surgeons are facing. From my reading on this type of cancer, retroperitoneal tumours are more likely to be non-resectable and are harder to get clean margins on because of the presence of so many key veins...
