Rob Ford's Toronto

[AlvinofDiaspar]

The RCMP? HAHA

The head of the RCMP did a lot of ass covering dirty work for Mulroney, especially around the Airbus scandal.

I know, you did notice my sense of sarcasm, I hope.

This is likely referring to those already charged under both Traveler and Brazen 2.

Yes.

 

[Honest Ed has a posse]

By the time Ford is toast in Toronto, the likes of Warmington and Levy will be chased out of town and their so-called professional careers will be over. Maybe they'll join Ford shilling for dollars on reality-tv America where they'd all be way more comfortable...

No they won't. They will continue to twist lies that the angry and ill informed will eat up.

 

[newearthling]

She certainly looks like one.

Could you post your photo please? Then we can all evaluate your looks and pass superficial judgements.

You forgot 'irrational' in your description of the unfortunate.

You forgot 'irrational' in your description of the unfortunate.

At this point, try insane instead.

Somehow this all seems like a game being played out.

Could Blair's presser be related to city councillors' (and the public's) lack of faith in the police?

No presser has been confirmed yet. All this talk is based on MM's earlier post relaying info that it appears as though one may take place sometime this week.

Well, I didn't want to implicate myself. Some of us insane people understand reason, logic, and knowledge.

But, yeah, you're quite right.

That tweet is from the parody account

Ah, yes. Sorry, parody and reality are a difficult to separate at the moment.

If you want to help some folks with their Oust the Mayor board game: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thebigshibam/oust-the-mayor-the-board-game

What is Oust The Mayor?

Oust The Mayor is a suspenseful, co-operative strategy game for 3-8 players. In it, the players control a group of councillors that must face off against a destructive mayor before he destroys the city. Players must be careful to spend their money wisely, and balance between repairing the city, protecting important places and influencing the public opinions.

They should also do the What's RoFo On Now?! board game too!

Here is the proposed new rule:

Whenever members of the media say that "none of the allegations have [has - none is singular, but I give up] been proven [or tested, the new Toronto Star variant apparently] in court", they must add "nor have any of the Fords' denials".

His sources have been pretty good...so far.

If you were a famous person and a group of criminals had an embarrassing video of you and were using the video to extort money from you what would that make you? A victim or a criminal? Think about it!

Um........., both?

 

[MetroMan]

MM, am to read that your source thinks Lisi WILL take the plea to flip on Ford? Is that correct?

Lisi isn't in charge of Lisi. It should be clear by the high priced counsel defending him. Whoever is paying for his lawyer will have the final say in his plea. If I were a betting guy, I'd bet that Lisi avoids a trial.

Until I see Rob Ford arrested, I have lost all faith in our justice system and the police. How can someone blatantly break so many laws and confess to them and yet nothing happens to him. If any one of us had done half the stuff Rob Ford had done we would be jail.

You're not the only one with that sentiment. Many in the TPS including the Chief are very cognizant of the poor optics and would be disappointed to have let Ford get away because they had their eyes aimed higher. If there are no charges, yes the TPS royally screwed up and Giroux is going to be retiring on a rare defeat. I'm not giving up hope until Brazen 2 is declared over and the Crown has finished submitting all the charges. I still think that the Chief is holding himself because he hasn't yet played his full hand.
