I believe that is correct. And I know the code of conduct investigation into Apollo/Deco was put on hold during RoFo's rehab vacation. Not sure if this one was as well.

Again, if the Integrity Commissioner had decided a penalty was appropriate punishment, Council wouldn't have been able apply anyway it to people who were no longer serving in Council.

Still, as with the recent Mammoliti decision, it would be interesting to know if it was still within her mandate (or Council's power) to pass it along to the police whether the Ford's were still in Council or not.

All the more reason I feel that these investigations should be considerably more timely. Although one reason they aren't is that certain members of Council do all they can to underfund the department.

Up in Arms : How the Gun Lobby is Changing Canada

Really interesting film recently run on TVO, and now available on line. Filmed at locations in Windsor, London, Hamilton and Toronto (Regent Park), as well as the US.

I have only one question, did Mitch swallow or spit?

i wish we knew who rob was sitting with when mitch arrived, and which restaurant they were in.

It'd be inappropriate to punish him in any way, however. He has a disease!

i'm guessing it cost him $5,000...

Ford, according to Jepson, “accepts the findings in the report.” In a rare move from the former mayor, who has challenged several watchdog reports that ruled against him, Jepson said Ford offered his apologies without threatened sanctions.

“To express his regret for his actions and the harm that he caused, he offered to make a payment to an organization of Councillor McConnell's choice,” Jepson wrote, adding she won't be naming the organization so as not attract unwanted attention to it.

oh... i was wrong...

The integrity commissioner says Ford, now a councillor, accepts her findings and has agreed to pay $1,000 to an unnamed organization in his colleague’s riding. He will not receive a tax receipt.

Fords spend more than $750G of their own money on mayoral campaigns

Final election financial disclosures filed with the city this month show Rob Ford and Doug Ford ended up having to shell out a combined total of $772,819 for their separate runs for the mayor’s chair in 2014.

Rob Ford spent a total of $437,977.91 running for mayor from January until a cancer diagnosis forced him out of the race in September.

In the end, the now-former mayor had to shell out $213,138 for his campaign after raising $208,770 in donations before and after election day.

Doug Ford — who joined the mayor’s race in September, the day his brother dropped out — ended up raising $356,167 in donations and spending $558,724 of his own cash on his $914,892 campaign.

Petty cash for the Ford brothers.

So, I take it they never raised enough money to cover those expenses? Oh well, it is indeed pocket change for them...

I guess the intimate "meet & greets" & dinners didn't do well, shucks. I'm thinking they should have ordered more bubble heads.

“I’m out a quarter of a million bucks, what are you going to do?”

Ford shrugged off the fact Tory wouldn’t agree to a harmony dinner after the election to help raise funds to pay off his rivals’ campaigns.

“I wouldn’t even want him at the dinner,” he said.

You scream about not making things personal, then you make them personal, and then get pissy when people you insult aren't going to kiss your ass... just an other whiner baby with a silver spoon stuck up his ass.

“No, I don’t but Rob’s going to beat him like the little drummer boy at Christmas,” Ford said.

Another violent, and confused, comment from a self entitled privileged meat head.

Petty cash for the Ford brothers.

I dunno. My take on the rich is that they hate losing their money even more than the poor.

They certainly hate being taxed, and at the end of the day, this sure looks like a Stupidity Tax to me, with the Fords in the top bracket.

Ford shrugged off the fact Tory wouldn’t agree to a harmony dinner after the election to help raise funds to pay off his rivals’ campaigns.

But Tory did run a harmony dinner to pay of his rivals' debts. It's just that he didn't invite Doug.

I'm starting to worry about Don Peat. For this last little while, he's seemed off his game.

Don is talking about Tory refusing to hold a harmony dinner(s) for the Fords OR include them in the one for he had for Soknacki. Sour grapes! Robbie was the one who acted like an asshole and expected Tory to solve his problems.

So, when you take the numbers from the Ford's March 23rd article and compare them to the finalized submitted numbers there does not seem to be to much debt retirement from the dinners/meet & greets or bubblehead sales.

According to the papers he filed, Doug's huge retire-the-debt buffet in Vaughn sold 260 tickets and netted a little less than $50,000.
