To Torontonians I say: WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Quaint article -- modern pharmacy owners have clearly lost sight of the value of "window displays" as a marketing tool.

What a strange, oddly "non-corporate" message. What are they trying to communicate? That the work is purely "cosmetic"? That the completed development will resemble a frozen-faced old borscht-belt comedienne? That it will wind up looking worse after the "work" is done than it did before? If...

There have to be literally dozens of witnesses out there to Ford's indiscretions with intoxicants. I would hope that the papers are actively looking for them, interviewing them, and persuading them to go on the record for a future blockbuster story. But that will take time.

I don't deny that it was a factor, but it was a small factor. Let's not forget that Glen Murray managed to get himself elected mayor of Winnipeg in the late 1990s. There's no way that Winnipeg was more progressive back then than Toronto is now. What ultimately did in Smitherman was the whiff...

Surprise, surprise... they've started putting up the EIFS. Congratulations, your client is about to turn his building into a PoS.

Not much promenading going on on Jarvis Street these days.

In that same spirit, let me take this opportunity to apologize for voting for Rob. I knew full well that he was a clown, but if I can say a word in my defence, he was the only candidate firmly against Transit City, and that issue meant something to me. I expected Lastman-style silliness but...

How strange. It would appear that right after giving his "there is no video" press conference, he returned home and went for a walk in the bush (in his suit!), whereupon he encountered a group of young potheads. I suppose the Iron Bridge is a place of refuge for him, the site of many a...

It's not the crime that gets you... it's the cover-up (although Ford might go down for both).

This story has to be false since the video to be covered up doesn't exist.

And my point is, Doolittle and Donovan did see the crack video. Good enough to convince me there was a big story worth putting on the front page.

Well, I haven't seen the video of Luka Magnotta dismembering his victim... but I'm fairly confident the cops got the right man.

I know it must hurt to see your hero going down -- why else would you (and others) be putting so much effort into shooting the messenger? Whether the Star is the "newspaper of record" is entirely beside the point. It has a long-established reputation for credibility and has been on a bit of a...

I'll bet the Globe has further eyewitness accounts of Ford's drug use.

The ultimate red herring: Everybody else is doing it so what's the big deal? (Never mind that actually, comparatively few consume illicit drugs and of those that do, even fewer let it impair their work performance to the extent that Ford has).

Don't forget Maggie and the Rolling Stones, 1977. BTW Pierre Trudeau (however tangentially) also figures in the current scandal.

I don't think the police in this city have the kidneys to do the right thing and charge Ford right now. It's hard enough in this country to get convictions for drug possession -- on top of that the cops have always known they had a friend in the Fords. Only a massive public outcry will lead to...

Wow, that 1915 building didn't last long -- what, 20 years?
