1) Canada grants asylum to refugees from war-torn lawless countries whose criminal records - if they have one - are impossible to verify. Even if they commit crimes once in Canada we cannot deport them because their "lives would be at risk". Canadians are paying a big price for this policy. Don't kid yourself!
2) Doug Ford has never been charged much less convicted of an indictable offense in Canada so why would he be denied a green card? Because the Globe and Mail came out with an unsubstantiated story that Doug sold drugs when he was in high school? smh!
The story is not UNSUBSTANTIATED just because the sources weren't on record.
I don't know whether Peepers is Warmington or not and I don't really care. But the fact is that this country has laws so that you can put a stop to it if, say, the country's largest national newspaper runs a multi-page, totally false story about how you and your family have a history of drugs and drug dealing.
Let the record show that for all their bluster and litigious histrionics - up to and including when Ford's powers were stripped - the Fords have NOT ONCE taken any legal action against ANYONE. If Peepers is Joe he knows this but filing a notice of libel requires no effort whatsoever. Proving libel in court can be tricky but the idea that the Globe called Doug (a respected businessman!) a drug dealer and he didn't even make the effort to hit them with a notice of libel puts the entire matter to rest for me. Murder and rape are about the only worse things a person could be accused of and Doug did NOTHING except go on CP24 and threaten people. Similarly, as the Rob allegations trickled out, he called The Star liars and (inexplicably!) told them to take HIM to court but he never served them any kind of notice; never took any legal action.
If I woke up one morning to find the Star or Globe repeatedly, pathologically publishing utterly false stories about me, I would find a lawyer, file a notice of libel and then worry about the rest later. Frankly, I think a single story about me being caught smoking crack would be sufficient. And if I already had The Best Criminal Lawyer in Canada on retainer? I suspect that whole process would be that much easier and they'd have a notice on their lawyers' desks before the sun went down that day.
There is no doubt in my mind that every word the Globe printed is 100% true, just as everything we've heard about Rob has turned out to be 100% true, and sometimes worse.
So, give it a rest.
Is my point.
Joe.
Or not Joe, as the case may be.
