I didn't grow up in Toronto, but I live in Etobicoke and have come to meet people from Doug's area. I've asked some of them, and some of them have volunteered, but all have confirmed that Doug was involved in drugs back in those days. The Globe and Mail piece was accurate. No one denied the...

Jerry the (former?) driver got married! And look in the left corner of the picture - a special guest... http://t.co/mfZQ17RgG5 Does that mean that MINO has one less babysitter, at least in the short term? Or is Jerry's honeymoon delayed past October?

Wonder if this episode was a big part of the decision to send RoFo to rehab? It's one thing to send Mikey to clean up a mess - when DOUG comes to drive the baby brother home, stuff is real and serious by Ford standards. What were the days where Doug disappeared, then reappeared as Rob suddenly...

Definitely not cell or handheld - almost certainly security cameras, but also almost certainly being controlled by security (the vertical movement sure looked mechanical). Likely FOI, but perhaps someone was directing the media where to look?

CRA could look at it, but RoFo has a taxable benefit for the non-Deco (personal) use of the car. If he pays tax on that, then CRA won't care - the Deco deduction (at a lower rate than RoFo's personal tax rate) will be offset by RoFo's income inclusion, and a similar amount of tax will be...

Upon reading the article, my wife said that "This should be shown to CAS!" I wonder if CAS has already acted, and that's why Ford said "Yeah, you never had your f---ing kids taken away." That would also explain the absence of the kids on a Wednesday night before March Break.

I took a visit to "I Hate the War on Rob Ford". Their new post is a Mother's Day wish to Diane, and some of the comments on the post are something to behold. If my most devout friends wrote about their prayers and wishes to the Virgin Mary, those writings would pale to some of those comments...

For a variety of reasons, I drive by Chez RoFo occasionally. I drove by yesterday morning and this morning around 8:30, and again this afternoon around 3:45 - the Escalade appears (at a glance, as I'm driving) not to have moved. Not sure if that means anything though, other than it hasn't...

Um, the Escalade is still in his driveway. So, he called for a rally for a meeting that he hasn't TRIED to attend? Thought he specifically said that he was trying to get in. I would have thought the potential photo op would have overridden the early start time.

That was...disheartening. I am not a fan of Chow, and even if I was, too much of the city isn't ready for her or any left-leaning mayor in this election, maybe even if she's the only alternative to RoFo. Stintz looked out of her league, and I can't forgive her for the flip on the Scarborough...

In Crazytown, Robyn Doolittle said that once Doug took over operations from his father, he grew the business dramatically - I assume she didn't attribute that strictly to Doug. (I think she interviewed two former Deco executives, but she doesn't source where she got 250 current worldwide...

Rob Ford's "financial book-reviewing" CFO activities at Deco were typical of a family member who doesn't actually do anything of consequence, but has to spend some time at the offices of the family-owned business in order to justify paying a salary to that family member. It's been stated that...

The sad thing is, some will be licking their chops at that. My previous employer, who saw employees as disposable and desired only cheap labour as opposed to talented labour, very much appreciated a lower caliber workforce since they could be paid less. In 2010, I was ready for a fiscally...

Seems to me that he wanted both - more space for privacy, and to build a bigger house. If you take a look around Etobicoke, that describes pretty much every house owner in the area, so he's hardly unique. He's taken a long time to make that happen - so either he's waiting for the prices...

Yep, that sounds about right re: Rob's involvement. To do income-splitting properly, he would need to regularly spend some time at the company, and do some sort of task (I assumed signing cheques and attending some meetings). Didn't know about the "shunting", nor the damage minimization - if...

Doug actually worked (works?) at Deco. Randy would be in overall charge, Doug did business development (sales and marketing), and there would be trusted managers to do the day-to-day work. Labels are everywhere, especially commercially, but they're innocuous - you don't think about the label...
