Where are you getting this? More secret sources?

Not secret sources. I'm acquainted with several members of the media. It's open information, just not mainstream because nobody is reporting it. I and others are making it mainstream, I and others are reporting our open conversations with members of the media.
 
So if the video is circulating, will some drug dealer still get $200,000? I'd rather see that money go to CAMH. Why pay if it's out there now anyway?
 
Haven't seen this posted in the thread yet:

The Star:
After the police interviewed the top staffer, and as the scandal grew, there was a shooting reported in the same apartment complex where the Star viewed the video. News of that shooting alarmed people in the Mayor’s office. The person, a man in his mid-20s, was shot in the leg in an apartment on the 17th floor. He is recovering in hospital.

BTW, the TPS's claim that it sent homicide detectives to interview the Ford office source about the video "because they wanted senior detectives experienced in conducting sensitive interviews, not because a murder was involved" is suspicious. Taken in its best light, the TPS is saying that "the actual TPS personnel who would normally have handled the interview could not be trusted to do so". So much to be ashamed of in the powers that be who run this town. Can't wait to see the crack tape that doesn't exist.

I don't see it that way

One of the people who have the video are going to be frantically calling Gawker by tonight no doubt. I expect the video will be out very soon.
 
Is that one of the buildings where police have roped off dumpsters, related to the remains found at 120 Alliance Avenue?

The Mayor's office is in the hands of 20-something footballers. Toronto deserves better.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
 
Interesting speculation on Towhey's firing. Since they quit on their own--and weren't escorted off the premises by security--would Christopolous and Ransom have departed with copies of documentation that might act as protection should Ford come after them?

Last Thursday, Towhey was marched out of city hall by security.

Multiple media outlets reported that Towhey’s firing was prompted by Towhey urging Ford to enter a rehabilitation program. One source told the Star the same thing last Friday.

Other accounts emerged. Two other sources told the Star that while Towhey had indeed been advising Ford to seek medical assistance, the firing was closely related to Ford’s ouster as coach.

The sources told the Star that Ford was so emotional after losing his beloved post at Don Bosco that he ordered Towhey to go to the school and retrieve thousands of dollars worth of football equipment he had donated. When Towhey told Ford that this was a bad idea, the sources said, Ford fired him.

The sources said Towhey implored other aides not to answer any phone calls from Ford that night because the mayor was so upset. Accustomed to Ford’s mercurial behaviour, Towhey, who thought he had experienced a “phantom†firing, then returned to city hall the next day — at which point Ford asked him to help arrange a party next week with Don Bosco players and other friends.

Towhey, incredulous, calmly explained that the mayor’s office had more urgent business. This so infuriated Ford, the sources said, that he reminded Towhey that he had been fired the night before and had him escorted from the building by security.

Nobody is going to put the toothpaste back in the tube now. It's all over the bathroom mirror at this point and somebody is knocking on the door. Ford is soooo done. Hopefully his maggot brother goes down too.

Don't call them rats - they have the honour and dignity to resign from their posts. They should be congratulated and not condemened for their actions.
