It's funny how the "nice" candidates have the "pitbulls" running their campaigns; Kouvalis for Tory, Kinsella for Chow. The Fords know they are in way over their heads, and the pressure is starting to get to them.

They still use videotape?

I'd say Ford will be arrested the day after TPS turns over the file to the OPP. Laval mayor Gilles Vaillancourt was arrested by the QPP, not the local police.
While Ford's charges will be more the common criminal's rather than under provincial anti-corruption laws, the optics are still better and Ford will have no chance to claim TPS bias on appeal.

Interesting thought. Do you know if this is normal procedure in delicate cases like this one? Instead of simply transferring the file over midway though the investigation which one could argue is somewhat lest conflicted?

I've always believed that the OPP or RCMP have been in on this from the beginning. The optics were obvious, and we know that the TPS would have made sure their asses were covered. There is so much we don't know yet, but Lisi is due in court today, so the pressure will continue, and then we have court for more ITO information next week. Ford will go off the rails this weekend, guaranteed.

Winners get to the top this way. Good cop / bad cop kind of thing. Only way to win.

I've heard the Det. Giroux and team were at City Hall yesterday. Apparently they made themselves quite visible. Not sure if this means anything at all but wonder if related to the Ford's recent outbursts.

How about this: The Chief started leaking information now that the files have been transferred to the OPP or RCMP?

Given the "taxpayers' money" angle the Fords are offering, one shudders to think of what "taxpayer-efficient" policing would be under their watch...

The Chief leaked his feelings on being called a cocksucker by a drunk. How exactly does that compromise the investigation?

He mentioned Lisi was his source during an interview related to the extortion charge.
Not saying it compromises anything but it was not the cocksucker rant I was referring to.
There were also comments made by Giroux on the Bassos cooperating which came out of the blue.
I think they are intentionally leaking stuff.
I hope all of it is bullet proof. It would be a shame Ford gets off on technicalities.

Maybe they archive stuff to DV cassettes... Magnetic media is still widely used for backup and archival purposes.
Could not ever see them using tape in the daily workflow though. That is way outmoded.

Perhaps read the Police Services Act and regulations regarding the leaking of information. Idle speculation is pretty much worthless.
