Rob Ford's Toronto

[EagleEye]

Royson James ups the ante in his crusade against media pandering to Robbo. Gloves are on, notably against his own bosses at the Star.

Add Royson to the list of Toronto's heroes.

Of course, even if it had been previously arranged, Ford could cancel after yesterday's interviews.

Matt Galloway was talking about the interviews this morning, with a guest whose name I didn't catch, and they basically said everything that was said here, including talking about him drinking water from a beer mug!

I missed it but it would have been Jim Coyle from the Star. He is a recovering alcoholic, and has a lot to say about RoFo's "recovery" both in the Star and on Twitter.

Definitely Jim Coyle. Also Andray Domise, whose letter to African Canadians supporting Rob Ford was posted here yesterday, was also on the show today.

Well, another two pieces of news - the Integrity commissioner ruled Ford violated code of conduct re: Ainisle's robocalls and Mammo is recommended for a 90 day pay dock.

Any idea what the penalty for RoFo would likely be?

Cool, he seems like a decent bloke who could actually do some good. Glad to see he's getting some publicity.

My friend said he saw a promo of Ford being on The Today Show. I'm not able to watch but if anyone is, keep us posted.

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Not sure, the IC recommended he apologize.

Tripping and falling through the 'Moon Door' in a drunken stupor. Or rolling out of a 'sky cell' while sleeping off a drunken stupor.

There's a ling to the report in the OP:


The Integrity Commissioner recommends that:

1. City Council adopt the finding that Mayor Ford violated the Code of Conduct.

2. City Council request that Mayor Ford apologize to Councillor Ainslie in writing and on the floor of Council.

Wait for it...

@ddale8 @bruce_arthur @_SarahFoster Look back, you'll find whenever DoFo gets caught in ignorance, he was 'jus'kidding' & we're humourless.

And of course, Mammo will freak out that he did nothing wrong and council is a bunch of lefty freaks.

Rub will say he's sorry that people feel his disease got in the way and it's in the past. There's no need to put it in writing and if anyone thinks so he will refer them to Staples and the print centre.

Mammo will no doubt break out his inner drama queen today...

That's a very severe recommended sanction as integrity commish recommended sanctions go - the most severe she can suggest.

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

That's why Mammo is trying to sue IC Janet Leiper.

Cllr Fletcher's motion.
"City Council direct that for all media conferences at City Hall or in a City Facility that no members of the accredited Press Gallery may be excluded."
