weird... both kathy and leeanne had court dates today, and both of them have had it pushed to aug. 26th...
Both 21 days, 3 weeks. Coincidence?
Attention North Yorkers: first mayor of North York James Service has passed away. I read his obituary and am 100% sure that Rob Ford will not accomplish 1% of what this man did in his lifetime. I don't know whether he was considered a good mayor or not, but he certainly seemed to exceed the standard for municipal politicians. Definitely the kind of character one would expect in a mayor compared to the zero character the current MINO has.

Rob Ford seems to me to be the least religious person around. He wouldn't go in a church unless it was to get votes.

The reason they all survived is because they were ALL wearing seatbelts (lap belts). In 1967. Even though they were an "upgrade", my dad made sure his new car was equipped with the shoulder harness safety belts as well![]()
Finally caught up on thread after a week away. I want to comment on two issues: Ford's subpoena and Socknacki.
First, re: subpoena:
Several UTers have posted fantastical predictions as to how Ford will be interrogated. Some seem to think he will be cross-examined by Giroux!
If subpoenaed, Ford is required, by law, to show up and answer, honestly, questions asked by the crown and the defense. His own lawyer is irrelevant to Lisi's case since he doesn't represent Lisi and Ford has not be charged, merely subpoenaed.
Ford will not be examined or cross-examined by Giroux. Giroux is a policeman, not a lawyer. He will probably not even be a witness in the case.
If Ford (and hotmail lawyer) agree to an interview with TPS -- not mandatory but up to Ford -- hotmail lawyer would be present to protect his client's rights. The questions asked would most likely be opened-ended, not accusatory. The police would be seeking information for their case against Lisi, not racking Ford over the coals. It would look and sound nothing like a cross examination.
As for MetroMan's tweet about the possibility of Ford committing perjury in his own trial: Ford is not required to testify in his defence and not even Hotmail Lawyer would allow his client to take the stand.
Re: Socnacki: I had dealing with him, as councillor, in the late 90s regarding a mid-rise apartment building without a working elevator and containing several disabled tenants. He seemed a bit dull and inexperienced, imho. He accomplished nothing for the tenants which is why I was called in to help. Nice enough chap to chat with; just not with it.
I can't think of one important initiative he has brought forward in the past 1 and a half decades, nor can I recall one issue where he took a strong and principled stand. Sure, he's looking for votes now but what in his record inspires anyone? Simply that he's a decent conservative chap who doesn't spend his life in drunken stupers? Toronto deserves better.
