Metroman? JimmiT?

My guess is that is standard protocol for all news organizations. Give the person a chance to comment before going to print.

Absolutely. That's core to definition of fairness and balance, and a fundamental part of a defamation defence. This is also why Warmington broke the rehab story first. The Globe called Ford, Ford declined comment and then called Joe to try to get ahead of the story.

Well, yes. They're clearly the villains in this story, and need to be exposed.

I don't know why the Fords need the media to expose the dealers, though. Presumably Rob Ford knows who he gets his crack from.

That's a weed pipe, not a crack pipe.

You don't get arm conniptions from a hit of weed.

 

[SunriseChampion]

You can smoke rocks all sorts of ways. Pop cans, copper pipes, whatever's clever. That was Rob getting "smart" no doubt. "They'll never figure this out."

Poor Daniel Dale is on holidays and was at the Raptors' game but had to leave because of this story.

FWIW - Hotmail Lawyer is speculating that Rob has been depressed since Flaherty's funeral and would be running 'for sure' once he addresses his flaws after taking a break. <rolls eyes>

Twitter is saying Doug left for Chicago April 24th.

 

[FraudNation]

People have smoked crack from top-lit pipes before. The usually put ashes on top of the screen to absorb the melted crack.

It happening, Daddy!

I was being facetious.

I'm sure Hotmail LLB is just looking to deflect.
