Rob Ford's Toronto

I wish I believed the Councillor about his threat to write a book about Doolittle and the Star.

Well he does own a printing company but it takes some specialized bindery work to create the pop-up colouring book Ferd-Nayshun would go for...

here is the interview with Katie Simpson and Gary Giroux from CP24 a little while ago:
http://www.cp24.com/news/ford/police-investigation-into-ford-remains-very-active-detective-says-1.1668599

it starts off with a couple of mins on the G20 conviction and other G20 news... (2:40ish in for the on topic bit)

I'm hoping this doesn't get lost in the book excitement ... beaglelover, any talk about making a video? I've already listened to it several times, and am sharing it with others, too. Really great job.

Hi Jude,

Thank you so much-but mad credit to blackballed's stunning lyrics that started this whole thing! I had to delete the link but will repost a could shortly.

blackballed: I sent you a PM

I bought it at Ben McNally (Bay & Richmond). I had just left my bank this morning and was about to head up to the Eaton Centre when I remembered that there was an indie shop nearby. Excuse the soapbox, but I really do think it's healthy to support indie book and record shops when possible. They're wonderful things and they need our business to continue.

I have to head to Riverdale after work so I'll have to grab the Queen Car. I was thinking of Ben McNally - I hope they still have stock at 5:15!

To the question of Project Brazen 2 specifically being about investigating potential criminal activity in the Mayor's Office, I believe that is the strongest and most direct language that anyone affiliated with TPS has used.

But the bigger issue for me is this: Why is Gary Giroux suddenly in the mood to give an interview?

Anyone picking up any chatter that the police are about to do something big?

PS. I understand that the link to beaglelover's recording is no longer working. I hear it's great.

Got an ebook copy off the Kobo store. Reading it from phone, tablet, and computers is a boon and the book unlocked at midnight.

Just saw the book at Coles at Fairview Mall, going for 40% off marked price, front and centre at the store's entrance.

I just called; they have "two or three" left, and the employee I spoke to kindly offered to put one aside for me.

During the Council budget debate on Wednesday, I think it was the City Manager who, when questioned, said next year's budget is going to be very tough, talking a 14% property tax increase outlook with 2016 looking a bit better, but still grim - and that includes a 10 cent TTC fare increase in 2015. There are no more efficiencies, revenue sources have been cut and surpluses depleted making a dramatic property tax increase a very real possibility.

And we all know that next year, with Ford gone, Council will have no choice but to pass a substantial property tax increase to avoid catastrophe -- and the Ford Nayshunals will be loudly yelling "See? As soon as our hero is gone, the leftist libtard Council crushes the hardworking taxpayers with their tax increases!"

Yes - I'm also waiting for this inevitable and upfront-regrettable noise.

Well that didn't take long...
Congrats to all involved, sounds great!! I'd post the link, but I don't want to 'out' real names.

NOW Magazine/goldsbie has posted the audio of the parody song to Soundcloud.

Doug's threats to sue this person and reveal truths about that person are getting a little old. Write a book? I'd be more intrigued if he threatened to read a book.

Got the last one!
