Why does Ford call revenue from parking tickets a "cash grab", but thinks that adding library fines to the city's revenue stream is fiscal "science"? Could it be that the former affects him negatively, while the latter never would?

Mammolitti is speaking. What a moron.

I think this might be the best thing I've read all day. Couldn't think of a more apt way to sum up Mammoliti.

It's been asked before, but who in the seven hells votes for Mammoliti? He's not left or right so much as he is a few Islands short of a red light district. What is going through a person's mind when they put their mark in the box marked Mammo?

He wanted to know the percentage of times he is interrupted by the Speaker while speaking at council. Because it's so unfair. Maybe if he didn't stand up and say stupid, out of order crap all the time, he wouldn't have to be interrupted.

That would require him to know what the rules of council are or care about more than looking like a victim.

I didn't know that Ward 7 is popularly known as "the seven hells"!

Yup! Another way... anything that affects the personal automobile is a "tax," while anything affecting transit (including two cuts under his watch) is "science."

MetroMan had said weeks ago that the police now have something on Ford. Could that something be evidence that he asked former Don Bosco players to beat up Scott MacIntyre?

According to Mammo today, every senior in his ward is low-income. I am not familiar with his ward. Is this even remotely true?

16.9% seniors have low income in ward 7, not majority as he claimed.

From 10 minutes ago, a tweet from CP24's Katie Simpson:

Mayor Ford's criminal defense lawyer, Dennis Morris, just walked into Mayor's office.

Here is the link to the Ward profile, published by City Hall. It does not, however, contain any data on income.

This is almost like playing a combination of "Bingo" and "Clue"...

Maybe they're going to discuss a potential move to Gmail.
