I wouldn't mind the outfit at all if it was accessorized with handcuffs....

Jimmi T, I think we differ in our views because we're working from different definitions of white privilege. I've read yours, so I hope you'll read mine: White privilege is just a way to describe the opposite experience of racism. That's it. It's a way to describe the experience white people...

What are you referring to? Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with social media, so not sure what he's been up to. What "race baiting" are you referring to?

Bingo!

Yes, and apparently Brown never passes up a BBQ or community event. It's rather alarming that Brown didn't have to stand for anything (I'm not aware of any solid policy proposals from Brown) to become PCO leader, he just showed up at stuff, shook hands with anyone, and left. In that sense...

Yep, and with gravelly sick voice in full effect.

Nailed it. Hard to imagine a councillor less useful than Rob Ford, but there it is....

Haha. I wonder how honest Ford has been with his doctors about his substance consumption. Did he lie outright and claim perfect sobriety? Or did he own up? I would assume he started with lying, but could even Rob Ford stand up to the power of the "this is a matter of life and death" stare...

Infection?

More like call the media beforehand, show up once, sound off on how Tory spends city money like a billionaire's wife and doesn't care about the regular folk, promise to be there everyday to stand up for taxpayers, then not be seen for months.

The impression I got from the ITO was that Ford was bankrolling Lisi's pot dealing. I'm now hazy on what led me to that at the time (frequency of meeting? Timing of meetings?) but assuming the police also suspected that, and Ford was the real target, then the I guess the goal would have been to...

I do find myself marvelling at the decision-making. Lisi feared, and then knew, the police were on to him, but never stopped dealing. Bahrami knew Lisi was worried about the police but never stopped dealing with him. I agree that weed should be legal, but there's a part of me that thinks...

Is it possible his "very serious reasons" is just routine pre-op testing? Does the timing make sense? I assumed this is what he meant, but have no idea how soon before surgery the testing gets done. Not to say Ford isn't lying, since he lies about everything. And a few hours of testing would...

And/or to mask a killer hangover and lack of sleep. Very "serious reasons" indeed.

How exactly would Lisi get off? I know the judge has openly disdained the case, but why is the case considered weak? They have an undercover officer who bought drugs supplied by Lisi and Lisi was then found with the marked bills. I knew guys in high school who went to jail for less. What am I...

I know! But I once knew a guy who came to be "known to police"....he cooled off for a few short weeks and then went straight back to it. I wouldn't be surprised if Lisi's still dealing, even now. Hard to picture Lisi turning legit and having to work way harder to make way less money. Hence my...

Wow, that's news...and very different than the TPS statement at the time (which I remember because Pugash was so unusually candid): Toronto Police Service spokesman Mark Pugash reported that the Brazen 2 investigation is ongoing. While saying he could not discuss details of the case, he noted...

True, and I must say the wait is killing me. I've often wondered about this. Lisi already has a reputation as a rat, and the ITO pretty much confirmed it by detailing his spectacular avoidance of jail. But if he did roll on Ford, it seems likely that he would never sell drugs again, at least...

Actually, Ford would likely have been charged by now if not for Blair's foolish decision to respond to Ford's wasted patois rant. If he hadn't done that, and just stuck to his "without fear or favour" key message, he could have laid charges and looked heroic doing so. But since he didn't, he had...
