Rob Ford's Toronto

[toronto66]

How do you know him? Have you worked with him? (Er, not saying you are a drug addict. ) Just wondering...

Hmm def no drugs....

The thing I'm most scared about at this point is just never getting a satisfying ending to all this.

I think it all depends on who's willing to talk. Right now, it seems nobody is. But I think once Ford is out of office and back to being a private citizen with no connections to City Hall, the odds of people shedding some light onto this whole thing will increase. If there's a Ford arrest, I'm thinking it will be after the election.

Casita, to answer your earlier question, Robyn Doolittle said in a lunch time chat last month that EMS has attended the Fords' home over 2 dozen times (yes, that is more than 24x) according to TStar research.

Thank-you, newearthling.

I wonder if that's a city-wide record?

For more rabbit-hole fun, even if you believe in coincidence, ask yourself if its relevant that Bill Blair's brother is married in to the Fossilized family and heads a construction industry employers' union. G'head. Ask yourself. It's fun.

I have been trying to find any info on his brother, and it is not coming up. Strong is not the googlefu tonight.

There is no ending.

Thank-you, newearthling.

Not sure what that means, city wide. Would EMS come from different areas to attend Rob and Renata?

1.6 MILLION DOLLARS in severance for 2013 Gene Jones year! Higher than previous Ford or Miller mayoralty.

Are these the efficiencies Slob and Thug are touting?

Btw, I farking hate that word...efficiencies! It wreaks of bs pretend businessman gobbledygook!

Unless he is fired for cause which could very well happen.

 

[themarc]

Oh look, Robbie sent me an email. He really does love me.

Same script he read on TV. Jones is toast.

In the CP24 post, responses are far more supportive of him than 'his own' feed.

"I'm told that OPP/TPS public spat is engineered to embolden Ford, cause him to resume past behaviour. "It's a common strategy" "
https://twitter.com/MetroManTO/status/459485885734469632

How strong is the case against Ford if they are trying to get him to re-offend? This is also a far cry from the MM explanation from a few weeks ago that the OPP/TPS spat was a result of political interference. If what MM has heard this time around is true, I'm not sure that it is very good news for people hoping the TPS will be dropping the hammer on Ford.

Is there no little voice inside MetroMan going "Gee, an extremely small number of my pronouncements have come to anything. Maybe my sources are not such great sources, and maybe I should stop talking about the so far nonexistent Rob Ford bust?"

If what MM has heard this time around is true

Hahahahahahah.

He has standing rights to attend and vote at any council committee, so that's why he thinks he can just show up. He doesn't seem to understand the distinction of an independent board vs a subcommittee.

Surprise.

That article also brings up a good point: Lisi was under surveillance which led to his arrest last night. Given that Ford was interacting with Lisi so often, the police no doubt have recorded their communications together. That brings us to the tip I reported some time ago which allegedly has Ford on a wiretap soliciting drugs. The pieces of the puzzle are snapping right into place.

I can't imagine it'll be long before Ford himself is taken into custody. With all the alleged dirt the cops already have on him, one is led to believe that they haven't arrested him on solicitation or obstruction because they're after a bigger catch. Ford has to be inhibited by some real serious form of mental retardation to be able to live day to day and not worry that the cops are going to be dragging him across the lawn in his underwear sooner or later.
