As someone mentioned on Twitter, now that Don Andrews is in the race, Rob Ford is no longer the worst person running.

I notice that the mayoral election spending limit is 1.3 mil while councillor is 30 or 40k. Which means that you can wildly outspend everyone else in your ward in general getting your name out there advertising if you started as a mayoral candidate.

Only if it isn't metered per unit I would think. Mine is, so we have 182 customers in our building. How many rentals in TO are hydro included? Can't be that many.

Well, thinking it through, all Black did was ask questions. Rob Ford made the statements, and Zoomer Media broadcast them. Unless Black is a principal in the company, then I would agree with it.

If you actually read my message or the linked article, or any one of the other thousand resources out there about it that are available with with three seconds of due diligence, you'll find out that the only thing she had going for her that allowed her to get on the list was that she could come...

Hey, yeah, that's horrible! What kind of a person would take advantage of... ...oh, uh, but she voted on it, without declaring a conflict of interest? Well, surely she got something out of doing it? Good for the Sun for exposing this malfeasance on the front page of their newspaper...

Why? They don't get bonus points for filing early. The do, however, get bonus points for spending more time on crafting better arguments, writing better legal prose, or collecting more information. Far better for them to do the work now. Regarding wasting money: Yes, waste is waste, whether...

MediaHint. Google it, live it, love it.

Even if it wasn't completely unrecoverable, it's unrecoverable for the purposes of forensics anyway, since they're only allowed to use what can be imaged by a bit for bit copy from the original, which must stay unchanged from the way it was found. Apropros of nothing, even though this is the...

I'm pretty sure that since they already have all their algorithms to correct the results for the kind of responses they get on land lines vs cell phones, they'd want to filter cell phones right out. Otherwise it would throw off their corrections. OF course, that assumes that their...

Because I'm a politics nerd, I'll chime in again. The constitution of Canada only sets out the governance of Canada and the Provinces and Territories. This effectively means that provinces are free (under the constitution anyway) to organize the efficient governance of the land and people...

Dang, this is where I actually have to back up my assertions with facts. I hate it when that happens. Anyway, it's not really arcane procedure. I think unanimous consent is used in lots of routine business all the time, like when they want to knock off for the night or something like that...

More than Consensus, she wants unanimous consent, which is a specific parliamentary procedural thing that enables you to put through a piece of legislation without needing to go through the 'readings' or any committees. And it really does need to be unanimous. If anyone says no for whatever...

That is exactly the right response. Whoever came up with that policy and statement earned their paycheque today.

And who are his kids? Does he have a 40 (something) year old son who lives in his basement?

Well, it's been established that it's worth at least $220k. They could have just found out about it and decided to go for a potentially valuable piece of film. In fact, to the mob, it would potentially be worth more than that, because they could use it as leverage against both Fords to get...

I heard somewhere that today was the deadline for written submissions, that the 18th was reserved for oral if necessary. I guess a decision could come at any point, but given that, it would more likely be later I would think?

Also, note this quote from Doug's interview from the Sun this morning: “He said he just got up and he felt sort of like he was born again. He said ‘I’m not a religious person but it just came clear to me’ it was time.’ “ I mean, I'm not a religious person either, but I think...

A thought that occurred to me yesterday, and I apologize if this has been already theorized and I just missed it, was about Doug's involvement. I keep thinking about Rob saying he had nothing left to confess. Why would he say that? It's plainly obvious that more stuff is going to come out, so...

Ok, this really does open up more questions doesn't it?
