It is possible that Lisi and Ford just happened to be at the same place at the same time. From what I read, Royal York Plaza is a very popular destination for those under police surveillance. However, as someone who has actually read the ITO - specifically the parts about the 26 other occasions...

I suspect that TPS haven't included every detail. Remember that this is only the ITO for Lisi's pot bust - not the extortion charge and not for any forthcoming charges against Lisi or Ford. So we might learn more about this and other incidents. Your back alley meeting theory is certainly...

What does someone do in the back of a limousine in a school parking lot? A few possibilities come to mind - none of them would cast the mayor in a good light. But maybe I'm just jaded and incapable of thinking of the many good things that one does in the back of a limo. Also of interest, the...

By the way, the limo driver was identified as Louis Hantzakos, who is known to police for - among other things - being charged with "Communicate F.T.P. prostitution C. C. 213(1)(c) however that charged was withdrawn in court."

I'll let the ITO speak for itself (page 129). Surveillance on July 2nd, 2013 a) Observations were commenced in the area of 100 Queen Street West, Toronto (Toronto City Hall). b) Mayor Rob FORD left the parking garage of City Hall driving his known black Escalade, license BNWR691. Mayor FORD...

This is what drives me insane. In addition to the the "domestic assault", the ITO documents that Ford is a serial drunk driver and racist. He buys drugs and pisses is school parking lots. And nobody's even mentioned his bizarre incident in the back of a limo that tailed him after he left City...

There's also this: Rob Ford fitness consultant a convicted steroid trafficker, banned from coaching in Canada http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/11/20/rob-ford-fitness-consultant-a-convicted-steroid-trafficker-banned-from-coaching-in-canada/

No he wasn't. He was raised by Diane and Doug Ford Sr. We've seen what kind of person Diane is, but I dearly wish someone would write a book about Doug Sr. My strong suspicion is that we're all paying the price for awful, awful parenting.

This is the effect that Ford has on our public discourse. 18 other mayors are trying to do serious work and he's the kid in the back of the class lighting his farts on fire. And guess who gets the media's attention. And way to go with the "I represent the biggest city" line. I'm sure the...

Agreed. I'm also sure that they are (justifiably) terrified that they will be sujected to lawsuits if the full extent of this story comes out. There are still a tons of unanswered questions about basic details such as what was Bosco's role in helping Payman make it past/around/under the...

True, but, if this is already in the public record, why is Don Bosco trying so desperately to keep us from learning more?

On the topic of Don Bosco, I have always wanted to know the full story - and I'm convinced that said story is very newsworthy. Don Bosco claiming that Ford was an employee is the legal equivalent of "The dog ate my homework." Daniel Dale said that meditation talks between The Star and Don...

I won't speculate on the topic of Ford or Sandro's sexuality. What I will say is that, by my reading, the ITO depicts a relationship that runs much deeper than your garden variety dealer-user relationship. One of the most telling lines is when Sandro is quoted as saying something to the...

One last piece of "art" for a Friday night. PS. I am really bad at art.

Apologies in advance for the forthcoming post, which is going to be lengthy, but (hopefully) appreciated. If you have any kind of musical talent, you are free to improve and/or record it. All royalties to Mr. William Joel.

Exactly. There has been a shift from many Sun writers (editorialists and beat reporters) that suggests a directive from on high.

Another suggestion: Anywhere? Here. Anytime? Now.

DMW is running. I've been convinced of this for months.
