I'm with TOBorn on this one. Something isn't right about the whole "gone to Asia" line. IIRC she was depressed and struggling to make ends meet as a physiotherapist, then suddenly she's got enough money to go to Asia and not even bother to tell her family or friends. Could be just coincidence, but sure is odd.
It was also interesting that the new FB information only came up after a reporter from NP started asking questions.

Tomorrow Ford Nation youtube show with @ToMayorFord and @JimmyKimmel to be posted. Kimmel wears black suit/red tie to mock mayor. #topoli
Good point. I had thought the rules were province-wide, but a bit of digging shows me that for the 2010 Markham municipal election, the rebate limit was $350 for a contribution of $550; amounts beyond $550 received no further rebate.The point of the rebate program is a good one - to encourage ordinary citizens to support campaigns (i.e. instead of corporations). It's a good tool to improve civic engagement. I think it's like $300 in Markham so Toronto's $1000 seems a bit much but then it's a bigger city with a big mayoral race.
So, putting aside how the Fords are benefiting from it, the rebates are a good program, particularly if you're a newbie trying to take out an incumbent.
YES. [too much noise & unpleasantness in the thread these days]
Also, Kat, I'm very sorry for your loss, my condolences.
Someone found her Facebook profile stating she's in Asia, which backs up what I was told. I also asked TPS about her. They say they can't talk about her. I asked can they at least verify that she's no longer missing. Then they reply that they just cancelled her missing person's report. I didn't see anything to verify that though. The owner of the house where that girl left her car in front of, Ken Boot, was apparently a client of Lisi's and he also rented his garage out to him.
Witness protection!

Les Nessman, I have a question… are you writing a pulp fiction novel about the mafia? Because if not you should!

What do you mean "fiction"!
Connect the dots, folks
