Well, here it is

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/ford-brothers-face-new-conflict-of-interest-complaint-in-court/article20912455/#dashboard/follows/

"A new conflict-of-interest complaint against Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and his brother Doug Ford has been filed in court.

In the latest dramatic twist in the closely watched mayoral race, Toronto resident and activist Jude MacDonald has filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court, alleging that both Rob and Doug broke the Ontario Municipal Conflict of Interest Act by participating in council debates and votes related to clients of the family firm, Deco Labels and Tags."

Digging into @KelFord_'s posts through topsy.com, it appears that not only is she dismissing Goldkind on the basis of his appearance (i.e., not handsome enough to vote for), she also dismissed Andray Domise for being 'transparently all full of himself. Look at me, my clothes LOL'.

Yet somehow Ford's appearance is good enough for her.

It helps if you are a bit of music nerd, Gavin. The "88" is a piano. "Modal" playing involves building different scales off the tones of a "parent" scale.

And just to fill in the remaining holes, the reference is to the Sound of Music song "My Favorite Things", which Coltrane loved to play. And 88 refers to the number of keys on a piano. /nerd out
 
The Star is doing a major piece covering the 15 most hotly contested races in the city. It will be out as early as this weekend, barring being knocked forward but more urgent stories. Should be an interesting read.

It's not as earth-shaking as I hoped but it would be nice if something finally stuck to these guys, even after the fact.
They just. Don't. Get. It.

Also, worth noting that her lawyer, Tim Gleason, also filed the Scott McIntyre civil suit.
 
Isn't Gleason a criminal lawyer? I think he represented the families of Kristin French and Lesley Mahaffy.

Look at me, my clothes LOL'. In other words, too handsome/concerned about appearances. Hypocritical, much?

It may be more earth shattering once the details emerge. And just the possibility of being barred from office? Priceless! Go Jude!
