[Kamille]

A rather long but interesting article about the history of the Ford family...

More to come on this one no doubt .. Can he be removed?

Morris previously said Ford would be willing to go view the tape but would not answer questions.

Evidently he wants to see exactly what it is that he is doing in what they have.

Heehee .. I've been watching this story for ages, I love how he's had to admit it

He's like Weiner, the story that keeps giving...Oh, my...LOL

 

[~n/t~]

Oh good grief. His latest announcement. He was extremely inebriated.

New video out. Graphic language. In a rage wanting to kill someone.

WARNING. Graphic language

[Elley Mae]

What do you do after everyone sees the real you. where to go.

This guy needs to be locked up!!

Well two of the guys who were in that photo and presumably in possession of the video were shot, one killed. Co-incidence?

What do you do after everyone sees the real you. where to go.

First and foremost he needs to resign. Next get professional help.


I'm not from Toronto but this latest video threatening to kill someone is very very frightening.

No way. OMG.

 

[~n/t~]

Ouch. City councillor John Filion just said on CBC that there will be more coming out.

This is so disturbing.

 

[~n/t~]

If he doesn't step down the province may take over the city of Toronto. One option being discussed right now on CBC

 

[Reader]

Not knowing anything about Canada's laws, can he be recalled?

 

[Elley Mae]

Ford’s job, though, is safe until the next election in 2014.

Currently, British Columbia is the only province with recall legislation.

Also, it should be easy to start the recall process. In B.C., it only requires a person submitting a signed application form, a statement of no more than 200 words on why the politician should be recalled and a $50 processing fee. The applicant has 60 days to collect the signatures. To give politicians a chance to prove themselves, no recall movement can be launched until 18 months after an election.

Properly drafted, recall legislation could be the right policy for Toronto.

Even if Queen’s Park passed it quickly, it likely wouldn’t be soon enough to see Ford fired before the 2014 election.

Oh laaaaaame .. am I the only person who thinks it's particularly ridiculous to see a fat spoiled rich boy trying to act all gangsta? http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/11/07/mayor_rob_ford_caught_in_video_rant.html What a d*ck .. wonder what's next??

Don Cherry’s unwittingly ironic speech at Rob Ford’s inaugural council meeting

“Rob’s honest, he’s truthful…I say he’s going to be the greatest mayor this city has ever seen as far as I’m concerned. And put that in your pipe you left-wing kooks.”

Chief Blair only found out about the new video today when it was released. It wasn't part of Project Brazen and any other investigation. CP24 LIVE.

Chief Blair is not going to comment on the new video. CP24 LIVE.

So it was not the "other video" that police have then.

MOO
