Rob Ford's Toronto

[casita]

Today: "It'll be discreet. Ford's lawyer will probably be told that his client must present himself for charges. Press conference soon after."

That sounds a little more dignified than back in October, "Ford has to be inhibited by some real serious form of mental retardation to be able to live day to day and not worry that the cops are going to be dragging him across the lawn in his underwear sooner or later."

 

[wheeler98]

apparently yes, back in 2010, when we elected a buffoon as mayor

i hope we come to our senses in time for this october's election

Apparently not...Paul Simon and Edie Brickell get arrested last night for disorderly conduct; and yet, the police are called out to Ford's residence 2 dozen times and nary an arrest. The world is spinning off it's axis...

Is the board that jagged to MM these days?

Like, if true it may free TO from RoFo no? This place should be hurried under twenty pages by now.-I'm going out on limb and calling DoFo filing for nomination if MM is telling the truth. Would make sense with DoFo's low profile the last while.

These are the things that boggle the mind; similarly, Patrick Brazeau was arrested for domestic issues yet Ford continues to go on his merry way.

There was no timeline attached. It was a hypothetical...you need to see the Tweet he's replying to.

On the subject of MM, I and likely others really don't care what you think of him. I don't understand why it's so difficult for people to piece together their own view on his information with caveats. The only person who lets yourself get carried away is you. If you want the real, confirmed news, go to the Star. If Ford is arrested it will be there.

Jerry the driver has just confirmed Rob isn't in the office today. Didn't say where he was.

Edit: he just arrived and repeated the billion dollar lie.

Rob Ford knows some dirty cops, hence the difference. It is the simplest explanation.

Ah, what the hell. Throwing May 2nd into the arrest pool.

The battle over electronic music events at Exhibition Place is moving to city hall with a push for council to veto a new ban on the all-ages gatherings imposed by the board of the city-owned site.

Councillor Mike Layton is asking council to force the Exhibition Place board to reverse that ban, enacted earlier this month at the urging of the area’s nightclub owner who has ties to Mayor Rob Ford.

Probably more than just cops ...

What happens if no one wins the arrest pool, or there's a tie?

Then I guess consider me an unofficial member of the pool.

It makes me sad I didn't find UT until after the pool closed . Unofficially, I'd like to throw Sept. 6th into the mix.
