Rob Ford's Toronto

[kaboi]

I doubt she's an alcoholic. She's been known as a prescription opiate addict for a long time.

Doesn't she have an impaired driving charge or conviction that was mentioned in Doolittle's book? Not that it confirms she's an alcoholic, but it does suggest problematic drinking.

How does an ignition interlock device work?

Before starting the vehicle, a driver must blow into the device. If the driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is above the pre-set limit, the vehicle will not start.

Once the vehicle is started, the interlock device requires the driver to provide breath samples at random pre-set times while the engine is running. If a sample is not provided, or if the BAC exceeds the limit, the device will issue a warning, record the event and activate specific alarm systems (e.g., lights flashing, horn honking, etc.), until the ignition is turned off.

Hmm.......sounds like we need one installed in a certain Escalade!

If it's true that helicopters were actually following the Escalade to work, that might have done it.

That's what I think. Yet they just watch.

Between the cops, the crown, the judges ...I don't think anyone wants to risk a career on it.

And GPS.

But Porter needed more of a definitive answer didn't they? They have to order the whispering jets before May or something like that.

Again, if they need the airport to order those jets they aren't viable.

And GPS.

But Diane only approved the breathalyzer thingy.

Lol, that was part of Mother Ford's redemption plan in November! But then so was losing weight and we all know how well that's gone...

I've always been surprised the City of Toronto doesn't insist the mayor use the official limo ( they do have one ) ( which they could easily install GPS in ) and a city employee as chauffeur. That's the way it was done in the Metro era.

agreed. i think the whole thing is to position for a sell off.

They track the mileage on all city vehicles, have for years. Nowadays they have a GPS tracker.

Ford chose driving himself for secrecy from day one.
