We certainly agree on that. But they would not be painted with TPS livery.

Isn't the photo from the period (about a year?) a few years back during which the TPS had them on a 'trial' basis, at the end of which the decision was not to fund the TPS to have helicopters?
 
So any guesses on what Metro Man is on about? My money's on an April 1st Prank here:

Doing my best not to work from Costa Rica but a dot just appeared that connects with others.

It appears Hotmail lawyer has defended the people who were driving around Dixon in fancy cars and a suitcase of money to buy the video.

At risk of getting my legs broken (I'm just the messenger!) the police are following leads about the Russian Mafia.

Did somebody have control over the Mayor of Toronto? Garbage contracts, casinos, Ferris wheels, island airport. Fishy.

I present to you, Dennis Morris "hotmail lawyer", legal counsel for the Russian mafia: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.culture.ukrainian/Yrnw1DHgakc

But (other than the journalists), we're talking about lowlife criminals. They're not about to go knocking off councillors. And I don't know of any Canadian examples of the murders of journalists.

It's shitty behaviour but if they tried to do that to me, I'd just give them the finger.

As RoFo's car was in the driveway all morning (which I hear from a neighbour is pretty common), was he seen driving himself or does no one know how he got to city hall?

requiem,

I don't want to get into an internet flame-war, so I will stop now and say that I guess we have a difference of opinion about this.

One final parting shot, though:

I should have said Canadian murders of journalists for political motivation. So one was killed by an extremist group based in India, the other by a crazy guy. I don't think either of these examples has anything in common with the Fords' behaviour. They've done nothing with what they've taped so far. And a discussion/disagreement doesn't have to be a "flamewar."
 
Ford just came out of his office and staggered blank-faced to the elevator without saying a word. He looked like he just ate a ghost.

When you can't even coordinate your lies with your brother/campaign manager/co-mayor something is wrong.

Jesus, no kidding. One wonders how His Oafship would have responded if a reporter had asked him to explain Brother Thug's earlier lie about injuring his back. "A personal issue," indeed. Master manipulators, these guys ain't. They just tell whatever lie's at hand whenever it suits them, even if they immediately contradict themselves in the very next breath. And they never get their stories straight with one another before shovelling whatever shit they're currently peddling. The Fords are less Machiavelli han bull-in-a-china-shop. And it's bizarre that this latest such episode should fall on April Fool's Day. Tee hee!

I don't know, but as I've said before his tweets are starting to get that "unfuckwithable" stink.

I don't think he's dishonest at all. If anything he got a little too wound up about thinking something was happening. Most of the people here have done the same. The rest of us aren't privy to his info so it goes unnoticed.

Ford's driver says the mayor hurt himself lifting weights. Why the mayor won't say that, I don't know.
