Nobody is more pedestrian than Doug Ford.
Nice! Zing. Done.

So that's it? Doug's "smearing" John Tory with...
1) Rogers did negative option billing! (Aghast!)
2) Tory was one of X board members that managed to restructure and save a company from going completely bankrupt?
Pud - while I agree that the defense against Charter Comm attacks on Tory s/b 'the company still exists, workers kept their jobs', to say it's not bankruptcy is a different form of sophistry. Prepackaged or not, the current shareholders were wiped out. That's bankruptcy.
Don't do Ford the favour of splitting hairs. Go on the attack - "i negotiated this deal to save jobs."

He has already tried that one a few times. The daily hints at 'scandal to come' mean that Ford & Silverstain think that they have something that would be news to the generality of voters.
I hated Rogers negative billing, but it's 2014 now and I've cut the Rogers tether a while back and could not be happier. But a cable bill is not like the VRT, or perhaps I should say I don't believe Doug can sell that outrage as well as Rob.
Based on absolutely nothing concrete, I posit that Jude's info-drop will have to do with Deco and COI. One can only hope it's a doozy.
They may also have nothing but think letting people speculate will be damaging enough. Doug has certainly implied improprieties about people in the past that were baseless.
Argh, hate waiting for stuff like this.

As Olivia would say: "Hey, try waiting for a bus!"
I'm not a big fan of negative option billing and think that companies that do it are kind of scummy. But its NOT illegal. A lot of companies make it difficult for their customers to get out of contracts, or bundle things so your paying for more than you want. It frustrating in the very least.
In the big scheme of things? It pales in comparison to the things Hash Dealer Doug and his 2 brothers did back in the day.

Whatever it is, wondering how it's going to come out. A press conference? Twitter?
