If you remove the whole "Toronto politics" drama though.....do you really think that International News would not have been aware that a bunch of lucrative leases on news stands in subways were coming up for renewal in 2014? If they new that (given that's the business their in) don't you think they would have been preparing a bid in anticipation of some sort of call for bids?
I am actually surprised that only one other bid has come forward....but that probably speaks to the consolidation in that industry more than anything.
OK, but your scenario implies that TTC officials should have been well aware a second interested party was interested in bidding. Therefore, both Stintz and Ford should also have known that as well. So... where does that get us?
