Some kind of announcement regarding the mayor coming from Executive Committee at 4:00pm today.

Don Peat tweeted 'stay tuned for news' as well.

Bot sure what to expect. In an entire saga of bombshells so you think council has it in them to drop another?

Where did you hear this?

From the CBC:

Towhey spoke to CBC's Charlsie Agro on Thursday and said he notified police once a call came in to the mayor's office alleging a link between the tape and the fatal shooting of Anthony Smith in late March.

"There were a lot of phone calls coming in to the office," Towhey told Agro. "One of our staff received some information from someone that he trusted but that we didn't know … whether or not there was a video, we couldn't tell, but that it might have been a motive for a murder.

"Once we heard that, it was my decision that this was a piece of a puzzle that wasn't ours to solve. So we passed that on to the police because if there was any validity to it at all, it might fit in to one of their investigations and they should have it."

I think a third of those are sarcastic while the others seem sincere. And that Sattva Namaste aka Leon Brule is a fucking idiot troll who spends literally all day on #topoli trying to get a rise out of people.

Corporate insulation? Maybe. Trusts? Not so much.

Never underestimate the power of those with money to avoid taxes and liability. A smart lawyer/financial planner combo can do things that would make your head spin and your sense of moral indignation explode.

Does Mr. McHotmail, Esq. count as a "smart lawyer"? He certainly didn't sound very smart on TV this morning.

I wonder if councillor Leon, a member of the executive committee, is thinking "what the hell did I get myself into?!?"

Where did you hear this?

http://twitter.com/ddale8: One member of the executive tells me confidently that something exec-related will happen at 4 p.m.

Another surreal moment: CP24 leads its story about Ford with the news that Doug Ford said the family meeting at mommy's house was "not an intervention". Breaking news! The mayor was not the subject of an intervention. This afternoon.

Well, he certainly isn't smart enough to have a professional email.

Oh it's a big nothing - 6 members of the exec committee is urging Norm Kelly to speak to the mayor about their "concerns". Whatever.

Oh like Norm Kelly is going to convince Ford to do the right thing. What a bunch of weak-kneed little ass-kissers.

Intervention? Like what, 30 year overdue? He doesn't need an intervention, he need to be thrown out.

Nordheimer says he will decide on the wiretaps "as quickly as I can due to the circumstances and what's at stake."
