Hazing is done by established team members to new ones. Coaches aren't involved but then again, Ford is not a normal coach.

nice!
There's an article in the star today about the Fords ill-gotten email list which sent out fundraising emails the other day - most probably a clear breach of the code of conduct/elections act etc...
not so nice? they'll get away without any repercussions AGAIN.

also, an odd little mention of Stintzs "mutual understanding" meeting with the Fords and subsequent dropout from the race. Perhaps the star knows something about what happened?

Also, the reason they were rolling around was because it was there. It's not really a punishment without that element.

That's soccer

Which is properly called football, rather than Canadian / American football, which is really just a boring and padded version of rugby.

Wouldn't this be a breach of privacy legislation? In this case of MFIPPA? I would think a person's email address obtained by the city via the mayor's office would be protected by the legislation.
