Is there no rule that you can't hold office while imprisoned? Or that if you are convicted of a crime you must resign?

Perhaps someone more familiar with the legal system can point us to a specific law.

Holy Mackeral...To bring up shit like that from someones past, is total insanity.
Gee, 5+5yrs + 6+6mnths = 11 years, did he do time or was he even found guilty on any of the above.

I only assume he'd back off pushing such a thing once he realized what could happen but then again I doubt he has the necessary awareness to even realize it.
The potential for a backfire on Ford would be hilarious. New taxes that he would absolutely hate? Downtown gets a benefit from it? Before Scarborough? I'd pay to see the blowup from that.

People were asking what kind of lawlessness Ford might possibly be involved in. Is it not fair to cite examples of his previous charges / brushes with the law?
Did I say he did time or was found guilty? By asking that, are you saying he has done time on other charges? What charges are you saying he has been found guilty of and gone to jail for? What jail was he in? (You see where I'm going with this? I try to be careful not to make a claim without foundation and I actively solicit people's specific critiques where they feel I have done so).

I've heard a certain dynamic duo were the drug dealers of choice in the high school they attended in Etobicoke.

I don't believe you. Batman and Robin are good guys! Although, I didn't know they spent their teenage years away from Gotham.

If my handle weren't my real name, I'd potentially say more that I've "heard" on this file.

I can assure you, Citizens, that the allusion in Mr. Black's post was certainly not to the Boy Wonder and myself. Robin is an exemplary young man, and I hope that in my small way I have been a model of clean living for him. Mr. Black must have been referring to another duo, completely ironically, who may be potential psychopathic super villains in fact, in a sly fashion.

"Super" villains? When they were so easily defeated by the Council of Reason? Perhaps their Bluster Ray just wasn't all that effective...

The Supervillains, as well as their Legion of Darkness, are now using social media (Fakebook, as well as online mainstream newspaper comments) to defame the Dynamic Duo and their supporters.With Transit City now approved by City Council, the effort needs to move on to selling LRTs to Torontonians. I've never seen so many ignorant comments on my Facebook feed. I've spent the day today correcting myths and trying to educate my friends and their friends. David Miller's biggest failure was not selling Transit City to Torontonians. He was busy getting the Province to pay for it but with Torontonians behind it, Ford might never have been elected, and he surely would not have been able to illegally cancel it for a year.
CodeRedTO has a good place to start with these posters: http://coderedto.com/?page_id=48
I had to use this one a lot today to combat the comments that "World class cities build subways!!1!"

You should realize that we are using comic book metaphors now to discuss about how the city is run.
What can the Dynamic Duo do now to spread reason to the Legion of Darkness, who still spread lies and bully others?

Reminds me of what Queen's Quay W should have looked like by now.
