Rob Ford's Toronto

...and from the CBC today:

Toronto mayor fails to delay audit hearing

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has failed to postpone a long-awaited court hearing to determine whether the city will audit his campaign books.

The mayor's lawyer was in court Wednesday asking for the case to be pushed back from mid-April to at least November while a higher court considers an appeal in a similar case.

City council's compliance audit committee last year ordered a forensic review of Ford's 2010 election finances after two Toronto residents filed a complaint.

Adam Chaleff-Freudenthaler and Max Reed allege Ford broke election rules by using his family's company to pay for tens of thousands in expenses. Ford has denied any wrongdoing.

Ford challenged the committee's decision, but court earlier denied his request for a brand new hearing with fresh evidence.

Now Ford's lawyer is leaving the door open to a last-minute appeal of that decision, which would effectively put the case on hold.

A lawyer representing the city says any further delay would undermine the process and go against public interest.

So, it looks like April is going to be quite a busy month for the Mayor.

Interesting notes- get involved in local democracy by ousting the councilors I don't like! Also, Pasternak gets a little concerned about the early campaigning and hints at Kouvalis.

Wait... Rob Ford actually APOLOGIZED. Either hell froze over or Mr. Ford is afraid that he'll loose his job because of all the laws he has broken.

Where does Doug Ford live, BTW. Don't need the address ... just curious which neighbourhood.

He lives in Etobicoke on Edenbrdge (Eglinton and Scarlett Road area) where St James Park is located

The show is called The City which means it can be hosted by any number of councillors. Obviously the station took the Fords up on hosting the show because they knew the controversy and ratings. I am sure as time goes on there will be other hosts. The show was not Matlow's show

That's Rob Ford home. Don't know for certain if Doug is also a neighbour.

Doug Ford

Actually, Doug said it was his radio station. ha ha

So I take it, there was no $1 billion for subways in the federal budget today like Robbie and Dougie had hinted to?

They share one brain. I wouldn't be surprised if their houses are attached to each other.

The quote/post someone posted about Matlow being jealous because the Fords had replaced Matlow on hosting The City. I could not reply with quote but if you are reading the posts would you not have remembered reading ford had said this? Its only going back a couple of pages. Plenty of times i read posts and need to go back to see what the original quote/post was if its been a number of days or week that I have not read the posts

I seriously want to know where those two Fords get their drugs from. You know, for those days when I feel like completely losing my mind and showing up to work tripping complete balls.

And damn.....he did say they took over his (Matlow's) radio station. Cut me a line of what you two are having and pass the rolled up transfer, thankyouverymuch, Mr Ford!

If you don't know who you're talking to how do you expect anyone else to follow along?

The forum is a conversation.

If anyone had been following along, you'd know he was making a statement regarding something Doug Ford was quoted as saying a few posts above his, so I don't see why it was mandatory he quote it for anyone to understand the nature of his statement. Seems like a rather minor faux pas to be called out on by a mod.
