ALL Toronto Star journalists in lockdown having to do with #RobFord. May have video or email print outs. #cdnpoli #topoli

The tweet is very vague. Video of what? Ford smoking crack?

There were absolutely no collaborative tweets from anyone else re: supposed the Star lockdown. That's odd.

Beats me, but it caught my interest. Probably nothing, but sometimes an actual signal breaks through the twitter static,so it's always good to pay attention.

Seeing as there has been no police press conference, and this latest report from the Star that Smith's murder was not related to the video, I am getting the sinking feeling that the Teflon Mayor may live to see another day...

Despite my last post that things ain't looking too bright, if this video comes out she will just be another person who will be on my "I told you so" list

Sue Ann Levy is certifiably insane. It would be amusing to see her run for city council on a platform of Rob Ford was done in by a left-wing conspiracy and how Josh Matlow is a "bad Jew" for not doing enough to stop QuAIA.

I think that this time it's different. You have media from all over the world interested in this. The words "Rob Ford" get a ton of clicks so the media is pouring resources into digging up dirt on this man to make "new news"... and oh boy does he ever have a lot of dirt.

If nothing happens today I'm going to start to get that sinking feeling too. All the mention of the police yesterday really got my hopes up.

That's a pretty extraordinary claim - need confirmation from the Star.

Agreed. But they have been spectacularly quiet today, and that's a good sign something serious is going down.

If his staff could be "bullied" by journalists, then you know what, they aren't made of strong enough stuff - no one in the Miller office quit because of SAL/Sun. Let's not forget for the moment Towhey was fired in the first place.

Again, who knows? No one from the Star has contradicted any of this yet, I don't think.

Then why did the do just that in their document, which lists the province-wide tax as being a possibility if the regional one wasn't possible?

Their report was to their bosses - the Provincial government - and any taxes would be imposed by the Province. Metrolinx have (some) jurisdiction over (some) transit in the GTHA but have no ability to levy taxes, unless the Province gives the right to do so to them.

Can anyone contradict this?

^ Yes. I just saw Daniel Dale at City Hall. I didn't speak with him, but he's here. Haven't seen Doolittle though.
