"If a warrant is going to be executed, it will happen within the next 48hrs. Watch Momma Ford's and Kathy's homes for signs."

He's saying IF there is a warrant executed, not that there is one.

Well, if it does happen they aren't going to find anything now. This is the one kind of info (or 'chatter') I wish he'd keep under his hat.

Congratuations UT. That's more than 4,000 pages about the Life and Times of RoFo.

'Cept for those of us who have forum posts set to 40 per page. We just passed 1,500 pages.

However you sort them, that's over 60,000 posts, the vast majority of which add value to the discussion.

That is a seriously rich data source - I hope it ends up creatively mined in a variety of ways.

So apparently there were 3 videos that the dealer was shopping around. And according to Michael Cooke, one of them is the sex tape. Did The Star purchase all 3 videos? I guess we'll find out tomorrow!

Hold on-- Cooke said that three more videos are supposed to be circulating, and one is RUMOURED to be a sex tape. Big difference.

from what I could tell squinting into the image of the Star's front page tomorrow & trying to read the text, it says: "he played 3 videos totalling 8 minutes that he surreptitiously filmed between 12:30 am and 1:30 am last Saturday"

don't mix up the 3 videos the "Saturday" dealer has with other videos filmed by other people on other days. I don't think there was any sex act in the basement with Rob, Kathy, Sandro & the dealer (GOD I HOPE NOT!).

THE TORONTO I KNEW HAS BURNED TO THE GROUND
http://www.esquire.com/blogs/news/rob-ford-toronto-burned

this stood out for me:
That healthy sense of balance and common sense seems to be vanishing. Canadian Conservatives killed it. The "red Tories," the Conservatives who possessed fiscal discipline while believing in a shared prosperity, built this city. They are the reason Canada became neither Greece nor Iceland—lost neither to socialistic overspending nor to free market purity. And they have gone missing in action. In their place has emerged the scum Tories, of which Ford is only the most potent symbol. Needless to say the actions of the Federal Conservative party hasn't received any of the same international attention that Ford has but they are much worse—they muzzle scientists with the threat of removing government funding so that there will be no dissent to the Keystone project, they have become embroiled in a corruption scandal that threatens to destroy the Canadian Senate, their ministers rant against refugees using the hospitals. A Canadian conservative who ignored science used to be a wild anomaly. No longer. Americans have had these types forever, of course. But they are brand new here, and they are disgusting.

still can't believe that the toronto media and political class isn't explicitly linking this to the fact that these people are not actually from toronto, but rather from the suburbs; that the people who vote for them are not from toronto but, again, from the suburbs, and that this entire globally-covered humiliation is basically a product of mike harris' bizarre "let's append a bunch of suburbs onto toronto to dilute its power and prestige" plan. like, this is a straight line and it strikes me as odd that normal people aren't thinking that this whole shit-show doesn't just demonstrate that there is a real values divide between some of these peripherals and the adults.

Kat, maiden of YYZ. This had been in my thoughts for a few years now. Despite my short existence on these shores.

Having had the pleasure of witnessing the reign of Bush's republicans first hand in the last decade, I know all too well how much damage can right wing ideology inflict when taken to an extreme.

Rob Ford only exists because of the trauma of the financial crash. Most people don't realize that it is that sort of widespread catastrophe that gives the rise to the Francos and other dictators of this world.

When the populace gets squeezed, with apathy added to the mix, the ugly reactory nature of the "lesser" masses spills out. And some times with ugly consequences
