Stay has been granted. In office until the appeal.

Its the right decision. No reason to throw him out, with a pending appeal.

I agree.

BTW, how far can Ford take his appeal? All the way to the Supreme Court?

 

[thabiz]

Its a Municipal act he broke, so im not sure how far he can take it. I have no doubt he could try, but i dont know if they would hear it.

 

[Azih]

Honestly the only way to keep this from continuing to be a clusterfuck is Council agreeing to appoint Rob Ford back in.

 

[thabiz]

or a by-election

Discussing this before a decision on the appeal is not going to do anything. Every possible outcome hinges on the appeal.

 

[Earthstrike]

I agree.

Unlikely, only 3 percent of appeals from the ontario superior court of appeals decisions go to the supreme court, not to mention that when you appeal you have to have a stated reason as to why your appeal should be heard.

It can't just be "I disagree with the ruling" otherwise they won't necessarily hear it. I need to read up more on this staying of the ruling however.

Yup. Slowly picking up.

 

[Kave_Man]

I'm up in North York and it's coming down pretty well. Nothing sticking on the ground though.

 

[Zombie James]

Aaaand that's it.

 

[thabiz]

Highly disappointing. Although it looks like we are due for another wave.

 

[Divvy]

This is a goddamn half-assed effort snow

He just needs to drag it out for 2 years, and then it won't matter!

I was in 1 King a couple of weeks ago at a buddies place, and its a gorgeous building.

I was in 1 King a couple of weeks ago at a buddies place, and its a gorgeous building.

I went to a party there a few years ago where about 100 people slowly snuck into a floor of the tower that wasn't occupied or fully constructed yet.
It was really fun and took the security over 3 hours to realize there was a party going on and tell us to leave.
He seemed really impressed that we pulled it off.

Incredible views from there too (it was near the top of the building)

 

[thabiz]

Its one of the nicest buildings in the core.

Thats awesome. I would love to do that. Loft parties are always rammed.

 

[Divvy]

Sweet zombie jesus it was cold out this morning

Royson James covers City Hall for the Toronto Star. This is a good primer for the bare-bones legal aspects of Ford's case.

[You Are Viewtiful]

So Metrolinx launched their website for all the Big Move projects.

http://www.bigmove.ca

Too many graphics and not enough information IMO. but it's good to know they're doing something about the city's shitty infrastructure.

Friends and I are coming to Toronto for New Years. Any suggestions for good night life downtown? Or special NYE parties?

I am in awe.

There are some great photographers out there. I'm easy to please since I love Toronto so much but some of the photos still seem exceptional to me.

 

[Magnus]

Anyone been to Fickle before? Had it recommended to me by a friend as an ideal spot for a date (the lighting, etc) and some great food.

Nathan Philip's Square is where people congregates for New Year's Eve, from a tourist/general city dweller perspective. I'm sure you'll have your various clubs to choose from as an alternative.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

There's also Niagra Falls you can go to on new years.

 

[thabiz]

I avoid clubs here on NYE like the plaque. Its ALWAYS a shit storm and super over priced and over packed.

 

[EvilMario]

We never go downtown during New Years, it's just not our cup of tea. You can get great views of fireworks near the Humber Bridge out here, overlooking downtown. If it's clear and you can take the cold, it's awesome.

 

[Flash]

I went to a club on NYE... it was crazy packed and expensive but it was fun. If you and your friends are single definitely go check it out.

I remember we got there a bit late and it was 11:50 but they ended up rushing us into the club... didn't end up checking our tickets or anything. But by that time coat check was full so that sucked.

I've been downtown twice for NYE and both times were supremely shitty.

Never again.

 

[Hieberrr]

Do not go to Nathan Philips Square. I mean, don't stand where everyone else stands. I did and some old dude ended up groping my ass... awkward. Some fights broke out, etc...

But how will I enjoy live music by artists no one's ever heard of before? My hipster cred!
