^for those keeping score on thread derailments, I'd put that bit of repetitive brainlessness up against the Bieber debate any day.

Strange times in Toronto when you have to ask what constitutes an illegal act on behalf of the mayor. We have fallen so far...

I don't excuse that behavior, although I didn't particularly care personally, as he was just attending the festival and meeting with festival goers. That's not exactly what I meant by "duties and responsibilities", but that being said...it was extremely poor judgement.
I also said from the start that if he did drink and drive, he should be charged for that. I have no tolerance for driving under the influence.

Is the garbage the only thing that stinks in this deal?

Yeah, really. Leaving a statement like this hanging is just cruel.

Odd, but ever so revealing moment (re: the childish, bullying ways of Rob Ford) in Toronto City Council today. Paul Ainslie quit the Parks & Rec Committee and the Executive Committee. Later in the day he rose in council (I believe it was on a point of order) and stated that his resignation is being presented by the Mayor as a dismissal. Naturally Ainslie wanted it corrected. Robo-Flop being his usual unprofessional, juvenile self, pretended he was wiping tears from his eyes. In any corporate environment behaviour like this would not be tolerated. He has about as much respect for city hall and it's councilors as he would for a portable toilet Shameful display by a Mayor in name only.

Robyn Doolittle said a few weeks ago that there are many, many rumours out there about Ford and most of them are untrue. Just putting that out there.

So reading between the lines the allegation is Ford is involved in sex crimes but they are not of the variety that many people (myself included) believe should not be illegal - such as paying a prostitute for sex - but rather are of the variety that most would agree should be illegal, e.g. sex with a minor. Am I getting close

Sex with a minor? Getting back to the "foursquare ginger" clue, four squared = 16, ginger = redhead. Is that what we're talking about?So reading between the lines the allegation is Ford is involved in sex crimes but they are not of the variety that many people (myself included) believe should not be illegal - such as paying a prostitute for sex - but rather are of the variety that most would agree should be illegal, e.g. sex with a minor.

Rob Ford is a horrible, horrible person and an even worse representative of the city, but going off speculating about him having sex with minors is really off-base. Whatever we will one day learn about his activities during his time as mayor will probably be bad enough without wild embellishment.
You do know that part of the mayor's job -- his duties and responsibilities -- is to attend festivals, right? (well, except for Pride apparently). So HE WAS ON THE JOB. It doesn't matter that he wasn't sitting in his office. He was at a public event, publicly representing the City of Toronto. It was totally inappropriate, and you should care. If it was a one off, ok, but there is a repeated pattern of this type of behaviour that is completely unacceptable by a public official.
