There better be! People need to understand at least the broad strokes of what's been going on all this time (I doubt we'll ever know the whole story)... Especially if no arrest materializes.

I get the feeling that sooner rather than later there will be an "escape" from rehab. Then a few undignified hours where an out-of-control Rob will terrorize the city (like a balding, angry Godzilla) until he can finally be cornered and arrested.

Sublime....we need a photoshop of the monolith from "2001 A space odyssey" in place of Toronto City Hall...STAT.

Now that we're getting a better glimpse of slobos true nature......ask yourself, who had Anthony Smith whacked? Who had the "power" or threatening ability to sanction the hit? And who had the similar power to have people thrown off balconies because of a lost cellphone?

You mean shot by police in a standoff, right?

Tasered, pepper-sprayed, shot, whatever works.

Actually, I've been wondering if this little saga will have a violent finish, myself. And not necessarily one that involves Ford turning on his family. They do have guns, don't they? What if a drunken and blasted-out-of-his-mind (such as it is) Ford shows up at City Council one afternoon, and simply starts firing away indiscriminantly at all the elitists?
I imagine Mammo's final words will be some variation on: "B-buh-but I'm on your side!" The classic reaction of all lickspittles throughout history who suddenly realize that, yes indeedy-do, the brutes they've been relentlessly bootlicking for personal gain regard them as nothing more than easily disposable hired help after all.

Just some notes, catching up with the overnight:
1) The CBC leak by Doug actually makes sense and I have no problem with how they handled it. If the gave the name of the doc, everyone would find out where he is precisely and I'm ok with a reputable news org making that deal; just as I'm fine with a story calling Doug a major hash dealer based entirely on anonymous sources. That's how things work.
2) Warmington may be pissed he didn't get the scoop but even Doug is smart enough to know that if Joe W had broken the story no one (especially here!) would believe a word of it. It HAD to be someone reputable. That's how lame you are, Joe: Even Doug knows people don't believe a word you say. Then he probably could/should have given it to everyone but maybe didn't want the Star to share in the pie. I dunno....but I'm OK with CBC. the timeline explains at least some of what was going on.
3) It sounds like (obviously) there is behind the scenes stuff with the wife and kids going on. I presume the kids are at Renata's parents. If CAS had taken them it probably would have leaked out, unless the press is being nice enough to know and lay off that angle. But I still think that would have leaked.
4) Do we know if the police have taps on Ford's cell and OnStar? It seems like they would, after all the other ITO stuff we've seen. If they do, they surely have Ford on some very substantial charges. (You couldn't prove DUI but it's unlikely Ford is smart enough to have not tried to buy drugs etc. over the phone.)
5) On that note, for me the really big question now, given that Brazen 2 is ongoing and that Ford has not ceased engaging in criminal behaviour, is how aware the police are. if they didn't know he was still palling with Lisi, smoking crack and driving drunk....well, that's pretty bad. If they do and they're waiting for him to get out of rehab or whatever before charging him, that makes sense. But it sounds like he's been worse the past few months, even while he knows he's being watched (and might, fingers crossed, have his phones tapped) which makes the already-crazy idea Ford wouldn't face criminal charges very very hard to swallow.

I'm okay with the CBC story as well, especially because Doug had to explain why he chose the CBC and called them balanced and fair and essentially stated he supported them which goes against most Conservative rhetoric 
If he ever does make it to higher office and attempts to attack the CBC like most other conservatives, those words will come back to haunt him and I love it.

Yeah, I suppose that in his case being tasered would have the same effect as being shot.

If / when Rob Ford returns to modified duty, I can see him surrounded by security the likes of which this city has never seen for a politician.
