Kudos to you for the tip coming through. It looks like it took the appeal judges took two weeks to come to their decision. As discussed this past autumn after the original trial, some people thought the longer it took Justice Hackland to reach a decision, the more likely it was Ford would be...

As much I want to know the outcome, you had a insider tip that Ford's fate from the original trial would be known in mid-October. This never happened and I believe your information regarding the tip was to do with lawyers preparing for the libel case. Could it be his lawyers are preparing for...

December 19, 2012: Mike Del Grande threatens to resign as budget chief if councillors add more spending to the budget. January 15, 2012: $6.8 million dollars in new spending added to the budget as per the requests of new councillors. He wanted out of his budget chief position last year. Will...

The G&M has an article regarding this question - Odds long Toronto Mayor Rob Ford will win appeal, legal experts say. So there's 3 experts weighing in on the appeal trial... all of them agree Ford will likely lose the appeal.

#fordcourt or #topoli Both The Star and the Globe have a pretty good Twitter feed off of their main pages. It'll say "live" next to the headline. The Star did a brief chat during the recent lunch break... it answered some basic questions surrounding the today's appeal.

On December 11, it was cancelled. On December 14, it was back on as a new event. On December 21, it was back on as originally planned. It's non-issue and over with now, but it's a fascinating look at how poorly Ford's team controls information regarding a basic event. Does he have the...

Audit reports coming in January January is going to be an interesting month for Ford, especially if there's a ruling on the libel case.

The levee broke... What I love about this story is Towhey clearly has no idea what's going on. He's the chief of staff and he thinks it's either a scheduling issue, a cost related issue and/or something else is planned.

It's from last night. https://twitter.com/georgegray/status/277074910864617472 And George Gray who took the photo just deleted his tweet while I was typing up this post. He had posted it within the last 12 hours though. The above link is broken but it did link to his tweet. Lesson learned...

I think mid January to early February was the expected time to hear a ruling... however, there are bigger fish to fry within that timeline now. I'm not sure if the libel trial judge would delay his ruling while Ford is in the middle of appealing another case. Maybe we could cut some judicial...

I know what you mean... my councillor, Ana Bailao flip-flopped on the plastic bag issue. She was in favour of the five cent fee but voted to remove it. She's voted to ban plastic bags and then to reverse the ban. She came out in support of the bike lanes of Jarvis on then voted to remove them...

What will be the basis of the court's decision to give Ford a stay during the appeal process? Is it limited to the information presented in the earlier trial or is it based on all of Ford's actions? Would last night's council meeting have any bearing on that decision? From the Star... I’ll whip...

Steve Paikan has an interesting blog post on The Agenda's website: Why Rob Ford Could Win Again. His points are... It echos what a lot of people have been saying here. What I find disappointing is that it seems like you can't win with so-called Ford Nation. If you hold Ford accountable for...

The Toronto Taxpayers Coalition is run by Matthew McGuire, a card-carrying member of the Conservative party and Nita Kang, a real estate agent with a very right-wing sounding Twitter account. Yes, these two conservatives make up an entire coalition representing the taxpayers of Toronto. Don't...

Councillor quits Mayor Rob Ford's executive committee:

So the TTC, police and Rob Ford are not to blame? Who is to blame? Apparently, the coach of the other football team is "the root of the problem." Ford is asked at least 3 times regarding his phone call to Byford and avoids answering every time. Let's not forget that he was bailing on a council...

I've read a couple different things... one was that the bus was called because a fight almost broke out between a couple teams and the other mentioned weather. Toronto Sun: http://m.torontosun.com/2012/11/01/rob-ford-battles-on Metro...

We got a triple-whammy today - Leaving council to go to a football game, a crazy speech and a police dispatch. Granted, Ford did not call the police himself but it sounds like he was part the situation, which required the police to be called.

Exactly. 5 cents was deemed a significant amount just a few months ago when Ford wanted the bag fee eliminated.

Good god. Why do I get the feeling that Ford taking the stand is going to look exactly like when Clay Davis went in front of a grand jury on The Wire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CdfFgDWqeE Or when Clay Davis took the stand. http://youtu.be/bAQv6KTfQow
