Also, 'optioning' a film does not necessarily mean it's even going to be made. Lot's of scripts are optioned, then die in limbo. In this case I assume it's going to get made, and fairly quick. Just thought I'd point that out.

Would it go straight to the Space channel, since it would be almost science fiction? Following Sharknardo?

The best part was when Don Peat put "constituent visits" in quotes, like it was a joke.

This is Robtard Ford we're dealing with. He's stubborn and pig headed. Back when Chief Blair said TPS had the crack tape should have been signal enough for Ford to resign immediately. But he has no dignity, no shame. He will do the public perp walk when it comes and will not surrender because he's also addicted to media attention. Good or bad attention he sees no difference, its exactly like a 2-3 year old that thrives on negative or positive attention. The very public perp walk is going to be national & international headlines, and Canadians will not like that at all.

If sources close to the Fords say Doug will step up in the event of an arrest, doesn't that kind of imply that they are expecting one?
WOOOOOO!!!!
WOOOOOO!!!!

That or Dug has no intention of running for mayor and its a boast made in jest... but still a weird and loaded thing for Dug to say.

Here is David Hains' summary of Ford Nation (YouTube edition) http://torontoist.com/2014/02/the-rob-and-doug-ford-web-show-recap-torontos-grumpy-cats/#more-306064

I'm surprised that Ford would even think that an arrest would keep him from running or getting elected.

Interesting conversation on twitter, even more interesting that Ford thought he was fine at the Garrison Ball:
David Rider @dmrider 7h
Q: Does embarrassment prompt u to call truth-tellers "pathological liars"? What amends made to t-tellers u attacked, like @cllrainslie?
Paul Ainslie @cllrainslie 3h
@dmrider What's rofo saying about me now?
David Rider @dmrider 2h
@cllrainslie Nothing new - referring to post-Garrison talk
Paul Ainslie @cllrainslie 8m
@dmrider He never gives up. He was yelling @ me late as Sept "You feel in to Toronto Star trap...I was fine @ Garrison Ball"

Nearly everything Doug ever says is 'loaded'. Everything comes off as a threat. That he never blinks doesn't help that, but I suspect that is the learned behaviour of a guy that figured out a long time ago he was better at intimidation than negotiation.

Careful. The OP doesn't say whether the person was offering an opinion or providing details on a plan. Still, DoFo hasn't said much lately about his provincial hopes. And when does, he hedges. Interesting comment, for sure.

What in the name of Gad is with these guys and their "$5000"? In Hains' summary Doug brought it up. He gave that amount for a playground (his crowning achievement as a councillor, apparently). Rob said he gave Renata $5000 for Xmas. Someone was offered '$5000. And a car' for the crack tape. Maybe we haven't been 'asking the right questions', like "Hey Rob, how much would it cost us to make you resign? Say, $5000?" Rob: "Now you're talkin'"

A new crackstarter campaign should easily raise $5000 for his resignation. It would be the best money anyone has ever spent.

Remembering back to the conflict of interest thing, Doug was also willing to step up and run for Mayor if Rob was booted out of office back then. Seems like he's always willing to help Robbie out in these sorts of situations. What a great guy.

Certainly plausible. And if Rob did get arrested, I wouldn't be surprised if that's how things played out. I wonder how much of Rob's goodwill would carry over to Doug's campaign. At least some of it would move to other candidates, no?.
