CTV just showed the protests outside city hall. A couple hundred ppl and growing.

Does anyone know anything about the City Hall guard who frequently shows up walking very close to RoFo in many pics/videos? He's tall, tanned skinned (could be Caribbean, Trini, Guyanese etc) -- in fact he looks a bit like a Caribbean Heisenberg. Bald head but goatee and mustache.

I'm just curious. He must have LOTS of dirt on the FordBros (by virtue of being a witness to so much "stuff" over the past few years)

Here's an article about him: http://www.thestar.com/news/city_ha..._the_man_between_the_media_and_the_mayor.html

Went to the protest. No Guy Fawkes masks! No one handing out socialist pamphlets! And respectable turnout for an impromptu weekday protest. Bodes well for next week.

In an online discussion with readers this morning Toronto Star editor Michael Cooke had this to say about the third video:

reader question: I have heard multiple rumours that a copy of the video is circulating among members of the press. True?


Michael Cooke: If by that you mean either the first or second video, no. But I hear there's yet a 3rd video. We're still tying hard to secure the first "smoking crack" video. The second once, mentioned by the police chief ? All we hear are rumours.by Michael Cooke 11:06 AMComment

Hi everyone - long time lurker. I had the chance to go down to City Hall today to shoot some pictures of the protest:

Also, I'd like to thank savetoronto for organizing today's rally. I was there.

Shit is indeed fucked.

That non apology, apology was so obvious! Totally crafted to isolate big bro from the admission of guilt. These bros get my admiration (begrudgingly) for their staying in message and keeping the game plan. These are good football game play tactics....very effective.

We must stay on our message too! It's not about the drugs...it's about the lying to the taxpayer and the possible link to organized criminal activity.

It's NOT ABOUT BEING A CRACKHEAD! Yes, I'm yelling!

Stay on message, folks!

Congrats to those who organized and participated in today's rally. I couldn't attend because of a previous commitment but am planning to be there next week -- unless Ford is gone by then of course . Looks like a good turnout on such short notice

Great turnout for a last minute gathering.

See everyone next week!
