Yes Illegal may not matter in politics.Nobody gives a shit in the media what is legal or what is lillegal. The political world works on
smokes crack
consorts with gangsters
gets his dick sucked by prostitute
tells lies
= unfit to be Mayor.
Anything illegal is between he and his family and the courts and would not be settled until long after the next election.
Conclusion: Illegal does not matter in politics, it is all perception.
Due process in this case means changing the rules to allow mayors to be turfed or sending him to jail. If Wynne turfs him, that is due process.Yes Illegal may not matter in politics.
And yes Perception is everything in politics.
But removing a democratically elected mayor requires due process.
And due process requires 100% legality.
True. When I said "hobbying of some sort," I was including guys who get extras at strip clubs.Though a blowjob in a strip club is not legal.
That line should work to excuse all guys from everything they do. Seriously, wouldn't it be a wonderful world, if only......Well, in Ford's defense, I'm sure that he was in a drunken stupor when he had an underaged girl give him a blow job. We can't really hold him accountable or blame him for this behaviour and need to move beyond it and focus on the future instead of continuously rehashing the past.
Did due process take out 3 Mayor in Montreal + Laval this year? They were not convicted (yet). In politics the drip drip drip of character erodes your ability to function. I expect council to simply work around him, defeat all his motions, strip any powers they can and reduce him to one more at large councillor.Yes Illegal may not matter in politics.
And yes Perception is everything in politics.
But removing a democratically elected mayor requires due process.

Unless he is hung like a horse...Rob will deny it is his dick in the video.

Please excuse me for interupting in this discussion, but I wonder if we can all now speculate with some confidence that there is and only ever was just one, very short video clip as was first reported? Sincerely, Jon .I guess you can't believe all rumours. Apparently, there is no sex video. The second video is a subset of the first one, the crack video. From the Toronto Star:
Justice Ian Nordheimer views Rob Ford ‘crack video’
The Crown confirms a second video in police possession was taken at the same event. The judge has yet to decide whether lawyers for Muhhamad Khattak will be allowed to see the video.
For the first time, the Crown told the court that two videos police Chief Bill Blair described at a press conference Oct. 31 are part of the same event. One video, which is a subset of the first, is the video showing Ford smoking what appears to be crack cocaine. The entire video, the Crown said, is 90 seconds.
I guess it is possible that he was getting pleasured while smoking crack. Otherwise grog would have to be making things up and we know that would never happen.I guess you can't believe all rumours.

He is probably the most disingenuous poster (saying debater would be too flattering) on TERB.I guess it is possible that he was getting pleasured while smoking crack. Otherwise grog would have to be making things up and we know that would never happen.
In fairness to Groggy, the rumour about a sex tape has definitely been making the rounds. I had heard the rumour from a source other than TERB.I guess it is possible that he was getting pleasured while smoking crack.

Apparently the second tape is a longer version of the first tape. Global 6PM.In fairness to Groggy, the rumour about a sex tape has definitely been making the rounds. I had heard the rumour from a source other than TERB.
In case anyone is checking, my source wasn't a lawyer and has no involvement with LE.
Did your source say, "The blow job video is in the prosecutor's hands. They are just in the process of id'ing the underage girl and blurring out her face for use as evidence"?In fairness to Groggy, the rumour about a sex tape has definitely been making the rounds.

This info was from someone contracted to blur out a girl's face in a Rob Ford video.In fairness to Groggy, the rumour about a sex tape has definitely been making the rounds. I had heard the rumour from a source other than TERB.

No, my guy's info was more general -- that there was a sex tape that might soon be made public.Did your source say, "The blow job video is in the prosecutor's hands. They are just in the process of id'ing the underage girl and blurring out her face for use as evidence"?
This is the same sex tape the prosecutor was supposed to have in her possession from the cops?No, my guy's info was more general -- that there was a sex tape that might soon be made public.
Contracted by the cops? By the prosecutor? By both?This info was from someone contracted to blur out a girl's face in a Rob Ford video.
We'll see what happens, I don't think its done yet.
I can't get more particular then that, even on this board, without risk of word getting around.Contracted by the cops? By the prosecutor? By both?
