Doolittle and Dale have an article in today's Star about the emails. I can't post the link cause I'm on my way out so hopefully someone else can.
...Ford was fired as the football coach at Don Bosco on May 22. According to police documents whose contents have not been proven in court, Ford was distraught, and he wanted aides to help him quickly organize a party for the players. Towhey refused...
--->Article in question.
Here's an relatively minute but still interesting little tidbit.
It stands out slightly that Ford, upon hearing that he would no longer be coaching the players, rushed to organize a 'party' (meeting), between he and them. What did he need to say to them? It's a small thing to highlight, but it adds to the notion that the optics of coaching football might not be the whole story.
City councillors approved the changes in February 2012 in a 24-1 vote — around 20 council members were absent at the time, including Mayor Ford.

Random Question: Does anyone have theories on why Robin Doolittle was chosen as the initial Toronto Star reporter to be contacted by the video broker?
Don't get me wrong - I'm happy she did... But I've often wondered why her specifically?
I'm luvvin these e-mail tweets from Don Peat but have to admit I didn't catch the joke or reference here. Could someone please explain this one to me :
