Jennifer Pagliaro of the Star: https://twitter.com/jpags/status/712293833250377728 "BREAKING: Councillor Rob Ford, Toronto's most famous mayor, has died. He was 46." *** My condolences to those who cared for him. My thoughts are with his children.

This may have been mentioned earlier: Ford's councillor office page on the city's website lists David DiPaul as his latest "Special Assistant". There's someone on LinkedIn with that name who works in "Government Administration" in Toronto, and he looks the same to me in that picture as in the...

1. You're misconstruing what I wrote. I recognized that Chow lost in a landslide in my post; still, she received 227003 votes according to the official election results. It isn't about taking on her plans; it's about making sure the people of this city feel included, as Tory suggested he wanted...

So many appointments in my part of the city, and so little representation for me. "[G]iving the finger to a huge part of the city" is about more than geography. Even though Chow "lost in a landslide", there are still a lot of people in Toronto who voted for her (and others with similar...

It wasn't a Twitter rumour. It was in a Globe and Mail article posted last night, which was then talked about on Twitter (I first saw it mentioned by Ben Spurr of NOW Magazine). "Mr. Tory would not reveal his picks, saying those have yet to be finalized. But several sources told The Globe he...

As others have confirmed, no. :( I assumed December 2015 was a typo until I saw the second one and Jude's response to it.

I don't think these were posted here yet. Jude retweeted them, so that's good enough verification for me. Jonathan Schachter @schchtr 2:56 PM - 26 Nov 2014 FYI: @judemacdonald's Municipal Conflict of Interest Act application against #RobFord and DoFo will be heard Dec 14-18, 2015. #topoli...

Isn't he going in for another round of chemo today? Given that he's had to spend more and more time at the hospital when that happens, last night may have been his last chance to make sure that anything 'interesting' was cleared out of his office before Tory moves in, and it wouldn't be as busy...

Ward 37 Council candidate Luigi Lisciandro was working as an election official at General Crerar Public School in Ward 37. I recognized him and told the person in charge, who talked to him and called the election office, and he was asked to leave. Apparently he had been sent over as a...

I think you mean the FOI. Yes, according to Kelcey: https://twitter.com/stateofthecity/status/509690561012699137 @jm_mcgrath @GraphicMatt Yes. More in a few days. But do dampen expectations; there's a few gems but redactions overall were brutal.

There's https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/, Department of Homeland Security Consent, which "provides limited access to arrival and departure date records of nonimmigrant aliens entering and departing the United States which are maintained in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP's) Nonimmigrant...

I booked a ticket, though I may turn out to be too busy to attend.

There's a "Mayoral Platform Discussion" with only Goldkind and Soknacki on August 26. It should be wonderfully geeky. http://whyshouldicare.ca/event/toronto-municipal-election-mayoral-platform-discussion/

I'm disappointed that Dale didn't include Graeme's "Any supporters of Ford, Tory, Stintz in your group?" quote, because asking if there are Ford supporters in Rob Ford Must Go was the cherry on top for me.

I'm not so sure about that. Who controls his access to the family's money? It isn't his mother. That can be a powerful motivator.

He actually said Tommy Thompson Park? It's at Thomson Memorial Park, named after David and Mary Thomson. Idiot. And if it's a family party to honour his father, why in Scarborough instead of their part of town? Why do they need three parties for it, since I recall that they were planning to...

Does Michael Ford live in Ward 2? If not, what is his own connection to it? Why is he running there? (I know the answer to the latter, of course, but am curious to know how he would answer it if he doesn't live there.) I look forward to hearing his policy positions.

Someone at the sit-in tweeted a few times that he wasn't limping and he was wearing dress shoes.
