So, he's going to resign, right? That'd be the sensible thing to do.


Well he continually said "There is no video", which is now proven to be a lie. What's he supposed to say now? I guess at worst he can say he lied. "Oh THAT video, oh yes, that's nothing"
 
Apparently Ford's lawyers told Newstalk 1010 that he is not going to resign........


How long will he be able to withstand this pressure?

Of course he's not going to take responsibility. He could run over a dozen cyclists while high on crack with crack dust all over his nose and he wouldn't take responsibility.

On another day, "LISI was observed at the fence line of Mayor FORD's backyard."
Did these guys learn how to be discrete from cartoons?
Journalist hangs around Rob Ford's fence, he gets the cops called on him. Drug dealer hangs around Rob Ford's fence, nothing happens.

Thank you. I'm a supporter of real, factual evidence and due process regardless of the implicated party.

Uh huh. When are you going to change your avatar?

If he was capable of being sensible, he wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

Page 47 said:
b) LISI arrived at the address operating a red convertible Mustang bearing licence
BRRP369.
i) This vehicle is registered to Walter SIMA of7115 Tottington Drive,
Mississauga
ii) As per CIPS case# 2398689- LISI was previously arrested in a black Land Rover
licence BHHZ513 registered to Walter SIMA.
iii) The Vehicle Identification Number of the Ford Mustang bearing Plates BRRP369 is
1FALP45T7RF1812143
c) A Google search of Walter SIMA indicated that he is the Senior Director of strategic
accounts for Robert Half International
i) This appears to be an international IT I HR company
d) LISI left his residence in the red Mustang and drove to the Metro grocery store located a
Royal York Road and Trehorne Drive. After parking in the lot, LISI stood outside the
main doors of the store scanning the parking lot while on his cellular phone.
e) LISI met with a male who was walking with a dog.
i) This male was later identified as Thomas BEYER, Executive Assistant to the Mayor.
f) LISI entered the Metro store and made a purchase. Upon exiting, LISI walked and talked
with BEYER. Both eventually boarded BEYERS' vehicle and they drove a short distance
in the lot to LISI's vehicle. After a brief moment, LISI exited BEYERS' vehicle and
boarded the Mustang.

But Lisi is just a personal friend...

He and Ford are trying to play spies on a regular basis.

Some of these reports are hilarious:

On July 28, Mr. Lisi and Mr. Ford were watched by police at the rear of a school. "Lisi parked approximately 20 feet away from Mayor Ford. He exited his vehicle carrying a McDOnalds bag and a small white plastic bag. Lisi entered the passenger side of Mayor Ford's vehicle and the two were engaged in conversation."

After about 30 minutes, Lisi threw the bag out in a garbage can and the two left. Police retrieved that bag, and retrieved what they believe to be the Mayor's garbage: two empty vodka bottles

The vodka bottles are identified as "Iceberg Vodka" and "Russian Prince Vodka"

Stay classy, Mayor

When I see the video. Don't believe the hype.

Maybe he is a sensible dude with a drug (and food) addiction. I know it's a bit different because he's the mayor, but everyone is quick to get out the pitchforks, but maybe Ford needs to be taught some humility by being helped instead of hanged.

Edit: spelling.

Citizens with drug problems aren't jailed in Canada?
I mean drug usage and possession aren't offenses in Canada?

Uh huh. You already gave us your next defence: "could be anything in the pipe"

Yes, don't worry. If Rob Ford came out and said "I, Rob Ford, smoke crack every day," Willectro would have some bullshit about him being forced into a fake confession or something.

Lost cause.

When did I say they aren't? And just because that is the case, doesn't make it right in general. The entire system needs reform.
 
He downed two bottles of Vodka in 30 minutes and then drove? I know the police chief was very clear that they're just collecting evidence, but in this situation I would have pulled his drunk ass over before he killed someone.

So the next wait now is for when official charges are laid against Ford?

He's obviously just going to sit in office and get paid until he's literally forced out the door.

Nah, I wouldn't dispute that. I think either way now the guy needs some help.

Well clearly if the mayor smoke drugs and was in possession of drugs, he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
So you're saying he has a drug problem but he never used drugs?

Of course Rob Ford isn't going to resign. He's the most stubborn motherfucker in all of Canadian politics.

But man, these reports are hilarious. All the idiotic secret meetings.

But it's obvious the mayor don't have a single logical neuron in his brain. You'd think after the reports of the crack video first surfaced he'd try to keep clean to avoid suspicion, but he didn't change his act at all. I guess that's the result of getting away with every single thing in his life.

He downed two bottles of Vodka in 30 minutes and then drove? I know the police chief was very clear that they're just collecting evidence, but in this situation I would have pulled his drunk ass over before he killed someone.

It's a shame they never caught him in the act. He's been drunk driving for a long time it seems.

Councillor Fletcher interviewed, "If I have to believe in the integrity of the mayor or the police chief, I'm going to choose the police chief"

He'll fight tooth and nail to stay in office even after he's been forced out. Every judge in the city will be on his speed dial, if they aren't right now.

No I'm saying that if he was using drugs he need help with his addiction. In addition to that, I am saying that people (not just Ford) shouldn't be thrown in prison because they have an addiction.

Then he should be treated like your average druggy,
if they get sent to prison in Canada, why should he keep his job while your average trader or whathaveyou lose everything?

In addition to that, I am saying that people (not just Ford) shouldn't be thrown in prison because they have an addiction.

That's another issue altogether.

Besides calling for him to step down, councillors are calling for him to finally speak to the media.

Fat chance of that happening.

Lindsay Luby pretty much saying Ford lied about how much money he's saved the city and how much the subway will really cost.
