Without knowing the full story, I think that TPS has actually handled this fairly well. Blair has conducted himself fairly and with integrity, not being pushed by the media, but not remotely covering for Ford either.

I think Blair learned the hard was after G20 that protecting those who hold office will blow back on the police.

Blair was complicit in acting as if police had arrest powers beyond normal (the 5m rule), and they were acting within laws passed in secret by the Province. Well, that turned out to be a lie, and Blair was left twisting in the wind.

I'm gonna miss Ford so much. This many has given Canada so much comedy.

Montreal needs it's own Rob Ford.

I made a ''LIKE'' on his page but not because I support but because I find him funny

Holy crap, I watched the news tonight for the first time in ages and between this and the senate BS I'm just at a loss for words. I took the crack video allegations earlier in the year with a grain of salt, and now it's just hilarious. Edmonton now has it's youngest mayor ever I believe, which has me skeptical, but at least he's not a crackhead.

Also, ikea monkey might be my favorite part of this thread.

"playing" dumb? unpossible
Man I wish I was back living in Toronto. Rob Ford has brought the entertainment. If they ever make this whole thing into a movie, I want Larry Joe Cambell to play him.

I don't know if we know what the timing is on that event. The surveillance team may not have been able to follow Ford when he left that site in order to be in a position to retrieve the bottles, and when they found the bottles, Ford might have already been lost to the surveillance team. There are several possible variables there.

But in broad strokes, yes, they probably would have had grounds for an impaired arrest that day, and that is the one thing that I find somewhat concerning.

But that is an issue that has come up before, when police are conducting major investigations and see possible drinking and driving activity. There is obviously a serious public safety concern with that activity, but if you pull the trigger and so the impaired arrest, you may blow the larger investigation.

Is there a particular reason why the Detective who signed the, uh, affadavits (this might not be the technical term, sorry if I'm incorrect here) in the released court documents was a Homicide detective when the focus of the investigation seems at best peripheral to homicide and seems more like an organized crime, corruption, or narcotics investigation? Is it common for teams to be made up of police from varying divisions assigned temporarily for the investigation in question? Or is it because this is a bigger dragnet type thing?

It is not a particularly rare occurrence for officers to be moved around and seconded from their "home unit" to other units, investigations, or joint forces operations according to a specific investigation's needs and/or a specific officer's expertise.

And co-operation and resource sharing between homicide, drugs, and gang units are natural because of the overlap of the criminal activity that those units see.

I wouldn't want to make too many assumptions about the fact that Homicide investigators were involved in this case beyond the fact that it speaks to the expertise of the investigators involved.

(And yes, you've got the terminology right ;)

I don't understand, don't corrupt politicians only meet face to face with mob kingpins in the movies? Why the fuck is Ford directly exchanging words, handshakes, money, and drugs with these kind of people in broad daylight? Does he just not give a shit?

All those movies seem way less fake now, film critics will have to do a total re-evaluation of the last fifty years of dirty politician movies based on these revelations.

Is there a summary of all of this somewhere on the internet? I mentioned it to some co-workers here in the US and none of them had heard about it...

Considering that recent report that most of the city – including Scarborough – actually supports the LRT plans over the subway options, I'm curious to see if that even has any traction this time around...

Also the Fords are totally gonna get slapped with a fine or charge for those Robocalls. There's very very specific criteria (language) you need to include at the beginning of those sorts of calls as mandated by the CRTC, as I understand it... and they haven't done that.

I see Ford's lawyers are going with the Willectro defense

Mayor Rob Ford's lawyer says Ford might not have been smoking "crack cocaine." Could have been "cigarettes or marijuana."

I hope the next twist is that the video has him yelling "YEAAAHHHH THIS IS REALLY GOOD CRACK COCAINE IN THIS CRACKPIPE THAT I AM SMOKING FROM!"
