Thought He let slip that he was from the Cape Breton McEacherns. Likely not from the branch that produced long time Liberal Allan McE.

I imagine the only technicality would be if the Ford brothers defence could prove Jude knew about the allegations six weeks before the dates she claims.

Likely in the tens of thousands during weekday, probably less for a Sunday. The station is near the bottom of the ratings pile in Toronto. It would still be more than Dougie could hit door-to-door in a day.

Indeed, the big event does look WASPy.

Considering that Soknacki has campaigned for Tory in the past, it was to be accepted most of his workers would move to John's camp. That, and the chance at some political rewards post election.

Doctors usually push for it when the patient is around 50 years old.

So, is the working hypothesis: Rob drops to council race, Mikey drops out entirely, RoFo wins without campaigning and Tory appoints him to the ExecComm?

That's how we wound up with Art Eggleton as mayor.

Returning to the scene of the crime (i.e. Anthony Smith)?

You look to be correct. http://www.radiuscommunications.com/ourteam/ Jeff has a long connection to CTV news and W5. There's always someone around to do the dirty work, even if it's pimping for Fo1 and Fo2.

I had my doubts on Doolittle ability to analyse a political situation after reading the concluding chapter of her book. This reporting of Kouvalis polling info just lowers that opinion a bit further. Passing this unverifiable PR off as investigative journalism does her and the G&M reputation...

Wasn't there chatter awhile ago that the kids might have been placed with Renata's parents? That is a reasonable CAS course of action under these circumstances. Her parents would be familiar surrounding.

You missed the failed attempt to hide Rob in Chicago.

Think Deco is bad now, imagine the cash being sucked out of the company by Rob's reelection campaign and Doug's leadership bid. Slurp.

How is that an issue? Numerous Federal and Provincial leaders have taken over their parties without having a seat. While they are not on the floor of the they can direct direct things from the galleries. Often a member will step aside for the leader to run in a by-election. As long as the...

Don't know yet when she remarried, but it was to Reginald T. Dursley. The Dursleys were buried in the same plot as Ernest & Henry Edsel in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. No fancy grave marker, it's just the standard one I've seen war vets receive given Ernest was basically a pauper at his death.

Who is this Louise Boehler, Ford's east-end campaign administrator? She seems to have appeared since the start of the month.
