What a lousy pun.
Now you're just nit-picking.
What a lousy pun.
I don't see why the police or the crown would care about "political implications...in the middle of the mayoral campaign". The campaign lasts 8 months. If there was cause to arrest they would not sit on their asses for that length of time. And what if Ford was re-elected? In that case, waiting until after the election and then arresting him would be much worse.Given everything we've seen in the ITO, I find it hard to believe that the TPS doesn't have a strong case. I think it's possible that the OPP and Crown are looking at the political implications of perp-walking Ford and/or searching his home/office/Deco in the middle of the mayoral campaign. My feeling on that whole sh*tshow last week is that the Ford arrest chatter had reached such a fever pitch that the OPP pull back was needed to diffuse the situation. MM's tweet about "private citizen" Ford is telling - my bet is that the election will play out without any charges against Ford, but by no means is he in the clear.

Seems to me that Toronto is stuck with the 'perfect storm' calamity of having both incompetent corrupt criminal mayor and incompetent corrupt police chief at the same.
Knowing Ford, it'll only encourage him.The Beaches Easter parade has banned politicians from marching. They say it's not about Ford, but...
I am not sure if you were joking as you of the other posters suggested, or serious. But I am taking everything you say at face value, and agree.There have never been troll wars on this thread. It has been up to recently a remarkably civil place. In the old days, the odd troll that waddled onto the thread was intelligently and quickly slaughtered, and subsequently either banned, or stopped posting because no one would put up with their bullshit.
And it is true that you and a few others have really brought down the quality of this thread in recent weeks with very immature and pissy postings.
The recent trollish attacks on MM are just more of the same kind of crap that consistently ruins threads on reddit. Its a shame this very lame kind of behaviour has infected this thread, and i hope it stops, because it makes the thread really boring, and a lot less special.
But, its true that no good thread lasts forever.

I remember awhile ago MetroMan had said his City Hall source told him that he caught Ford occasionally sleeping on the couch in his office. Maybe that's what he was doing after the game.
Hi everyone,
I couldn't find a thread for this, but wanted to find out about people's opinions on the new food truck rules. While it is great to have a diversity of street food, is it really fair to people who own restaurants and pay thousands of dollars in rent?
