Third win for Mayor Ford!

[fmahovalich]

The embattled Mayor is battling back.

Fresh off the glowing reports about savings in the Privatization of garbage....

And the overwhelmingly well received nail in the coffin to the plastic bag issue......

Mayor Ford piled on a third win today when the Supreme Court ruled against Magder and Clayton Ruby.

In their wisdom, they saw fit to let proper decisions stand, and not waste time on a matter that had already been properly decided in a previous court.

Its back to the drawing board for the Toronto Star reporters. Time to re-tool....re strategize, and find a way to take another swing at the Mayor.

Hat trick! I noticed the front page of the Toronto Star to-day did not feature Rob Ford. Maybe the Star decided there is actually other news in the world.

I think the supreme court also awarded costs to Ford. I hope it bankrupts Magder.

Ruby is doing this case pro bono.

Pssssst... Rocky.

They are referring to Magder having to pay Rob Ford's legal costs.

Just a heads up there Perry Mason... I'm sure you're right somehow so I await your reply!

yes but he has to pay fords costs

 

[Rockslinger]

yes but he has to pay fords costs

Yes, I inadvertently forgot to mention that I assume Magder's backers (the usual lefties) probably have a warchest to fund any out of pocket expenses incurred by him. He is just a stalking horse.

LMAO!!! Yah suuuuuuuurrre ya "inadvertantly" forgot. That's why you referred to Ruby not charging?

We all know you love to start pissing matching but I have posted in the past (check my posting history if you like) that I suspect the usual lefty suspects are funding Magder's challenge. (You are free to engage in a pissing match with yourself.)

What, and crash the TERB server? If you keep posting, Fred is going to have to buy into the NSA Server farm in Utah!

Mayor gets his legal costs plus cost awards! Good for Mayor Ford.

 

[Rockslinger]

really? 31k and counting ....

(sorry rocky... I just couldn't resist ..)

You or anyone else can narrow the search down to just the earlier threads (one, two or three) concerning this conflict of interest court case. (Note: There are times when I have to keep my posts really short (like tweets) because there are other people nearby.)

Oh yeah we are going to do that!

Thank you for making the effort to keep us informed of your insightful analysis.

No matter how short they always make for good comic relief!

Holyday sums it up succinctly

"Toronto Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday said the case was driven by “pure antagonism” and should have never gone to the country’s top court.

“I think (the appeal) didn’t have much of a chance at the outset,” Holyday told CP24 Thursday. “I think it’s just pure antagonism that drove it. It was just an attempt to keep the matter in the media and to antagonize the mayor even more."

Good for our beloved Mayor. Now let's incinerate that garbage like a majority of 'open-minded' municipalities seem to do (assuming we can't recycle, re-use or reduce anymore).

They're already against anything Ford suggests .

Ford’s support for incineration had Councillor Janet Davis fuming.

“The mayor right out of the gate has decided he doesn’t care what the literature says, he doesn’t care what the science says, he doesn’t care what the people of Toronto say, he’s already decided — that’s ill-informed and irresponsible,” Davis said.

The costs awarded were the costs of the Supreme Court appeal only. Ford and Magder still have to pay their earlier costs themselves. Presumably Rob was smart enough to compare such costs to $3,150 before the first trial began. I'd bet that judge would happily have scolded Magder if he refused an offer by a contrite Ford to simply do what everyone said all along was the right thing: Admit he was wrong and make amends.

It's hardly surprising the SCC did what everyone predicted, and left the fine points of Ontario's mess of centuries of municipal law for Ontario to live with or sort out. Since Ruby had said the appeal was a longshot, I'd have to believe he and his clients were prepared for a costs award and like Rob, thought their idea of the principles was worth it.

On all that principle/legal stuff, the Supremes were silent. So in that centre ring the comedy continues.

i am pretty sure the toronto star could keep an incinerator going 24/7 all on it's own

So now that Ford has his costs covered he I am sure he will now launch his suit against the Star. I would just be wierd if he doesn't.
