Idiotic transit plans? That's your POV, but even liberal by-election candidates and some of Ford's own municipal, counsel foes have touted them as a feather in their hat.
Gawker Claims Video Exists of Rob Ford Smoking Crack

What plan? Does Ford have a plan yet?
They're was a big press release a few weeks back but it turned out that the city hadn't done its sums properly.
So is there a plan?
I think Ford's plan is to stall for time, make various proclamations about subways, use them to derail other projects, do nothing. He hates transit. He doesn't actually want subways either, he just wanted to cancel the LRT.
Unnamed high-ranking police official reported the police were investigating the video but the named police source confirmed the raid had nothing to do with video.
Do you prefer the unnamed source because you dislike Rob Ford?
I am sure the raid had nothing to do with the video. Ford is obviously not the subject of the investigation.
He is just getting peripherally involved because he had surrounded himself with drug dealers and gangland criminals, and his drug dealer and favorite crack house are now being investigated.
Ford is not a criminal. He is just a crack head, not one of the dealers they are after.
Both..........?
Now what do you think about this:-
"If its not rough it isn't fun", Fuji said.
People are still here defending Ford? Amazing.
The police investigating the video and the raid having nothing to do with the video are not mutually exclusive. The raid may well have nothing to do with the video, but the police could still be investigating the video, apart from the drug raid. The drug raid took place as a result of an investigation into illegal drugs and arms sales that lasted about 1 year. The existence of the video only became known a few short months ago.
Must've been tough to type that out with Ford's cock so deep in his mouth the whole time.
Now that I reread it, I see your point. The first time I read it, I interpreted the lines you highlighted are there to state that those things have not been proven. I was just surprised that Sun would use that title and also jumped on the bandwagon when the usual pro Ford stance is to treat as if nothing happened.
Yup. I think the raid had nothing to do with the video. They are trying to dismantle a drug dealing organized crime group. They want the dealers and the smugglers.
I do think they are separately looking into the video, but I think they are looking at it to see if it provides any clues that could help prosecute a dealer.
I don't think they are interested in Ford at all. Why should they be? He is just a crack head. At worst they may use him as a witness against his dealer.
The problem for Ford is this investigation is talking down the organized crime group that was selling him his drugs, and so as it progresses it is going to implicate him I ways that don't make him criminal, but are highly damaging to his political career.
No, he raised taxes, just like his predecessors.
His 'successes' are few and trifling, more so in context of $113 million he's wasted on transit just on cancellation fees alone.
And his subway plan could and probably will leave the city with another $400 million in debt with less transit, with 30 years of debt payment for 3 more transit stops.
That's idiotic.

Ford visits Lisi home regularly according to The Globe
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...out-alleged-video/article13829088/?cmpid=rss1
The Globe is reporting that Ford visits the Lisi home sometimes 4 nights in a row ( presumably to party ?)
It's not just The Star. The Globe and Mail published pretty much the same things:

The long reveal is pretty entertaining.
Ford visits one high school, crack head friend in jail, or tries to, and avoids answering to that one.
Now it looks like they've narrowed down the two enablers at the office, I assume it must be getting pretty hard for Ford to score now.

The Sun is also leveling some criticism at the crack smoking alcoholic mayor.

This was a great article, and more importantly, it is showing that The Sun has matured as a newspaper.
In fact the Sun has had many articles of this type over the past few weeks that have offered a balanced
view of Rob Ford.
Never thought I would see the day when I would say that the Sun is doing a better job of reporting than the Star.
I think the phrase is rats leaving a sinking ship. People who were supporting Ford are beginning to see that they will soon fall into the abyss with him if they don't step back.
Nobody wants to be linked to a guy who seems likely to have serious drug addictions and deep personal connections to gang violence and drug crime.

What Fuji said.
Normally, the Sun and the Star tag-team the Ford issue. The Sun takes the pro Ford angle and the Star baits him. They ding-dong back and fore, escalate the rhetoric, keep the citizens interested and hyped and they both help each other make a fuck-load of $$$ off the guy and his endless fuck-ups. But now the shit is starting to get too embarrassing. And it'll get worse once the video leaks out of some lawyer's office and gets played publicly.
As a result, the Sun has to write a few scold-y articles about Robby right now, so it can yank em out of the archive when Ford truly goes down hard and claim it knew all along he was a fuck head. If he (somehow!!!) survives, the scold-y articles will be long forgotten and the Sun will return to cheerleading him.
It's how newspapers do business, folks. You heard it from Oagre first.
Actually, the Star and the Globe researched, interviewed (or tried to talk to) some people, and did investigative journalism. The Sun editorial is not "reporting" at all, it's just an opinion piece which seems to be saying "stop being such an asshole and get professional help for your addictions."
dayum natpo g&m and star all have Ford's silence over the po-po investigation is plaster over front pages of all.
