Looks like the heat Toronto Star investigations have put on police is working. Hard to sweep it under the rug when a major news paper is watching closely.

Fully agree with everything said. I really liked that he brought the NDP a little more centrist for those of us with centrist points of view who didn't like the Liberal platform. Fear of Harper killed Mulcair last election not policy or leadership.

Given the behaviour of most licensed road users it would appear those 'motions' don't amount to much.

I thought there were strict guidelines also which is why many neighbours called the city as the trees were on city property. We were told that the budget had been cut and the trees would not be trimmed on the usual schedule. Maybe this was wrong information but its what I was told when I inquired.

What did you exactly call me on in your previous post? That the tree budget was cut before Rob lost his powers? That other councillors hungry for appointments and favour with the mayor voted a long with him? I'm missing what you are acting so smug about. Please point out the 'quite obviously...

The trees were due to be trimmed and then nothing. Many of my neighbours including myself had called the city as we were concerned that they hadn't been trimmed for many years and were told that the budget was cut and the trimming had been pushed beyond normal ranges.

This was before council stripped his powers (and rightfully so) Yes Ford had a crew of cronies trying to cash in on his outsider message also. Giorgio Mamolitti being the head clown and a generally terrible human also. Ford rode a wave of faux gravy train into office and was busy looking for...

One perfect example how Rob Ford was penny rich but sense poor. Rob Ford cut much of the tree trimming budget for the city. I don't have exact quotes but I remember watching city council and he just didn't understand why trees should cost so much. It was a waste to him. Gravy. That small...

He accomplished very little. I live in 416 and have had to deal with the fall out of his poor decisions. Please list his actual accomplishments? Other than contracting out half the cities garbage he hasn't accomplished anything. The gravy train was a small drop in the cities budget. The gravy...

He loved his family so much that the police have been called to his house several times for domestics. He loved Football so much he hired a known criminal to help coach and showed up intoxicated to yell at the kids and make them roll in bird crap. It's one thing to respect the dead it's...

Its the only legal way they can say 'We don't want your business'

The real opportunists are those trying to white wash Ford's legacy of filth then chastise those who point out his terrible actions.

It has everything to do with legacy.

Is it shocking? he had late stage terminal cancer.

To me this is pretty cut and dry based on the case law. Assault is assault. Did an assault happen should be the only question. Considering JG showed CBC brass footage of him assaulting a woman that was so disturbing that they fired him based on what they saw. JG has openly admitted that he...

If only there was a magical way to have an impartial record of events to answer the question of 'what happened'. (sarcasm) I wonder what the cost of body cameras would be compared to the cost of constantly having to investigate officer/civilian interactions.

+1 Police need body cameras. If there was a record of the incident there would be no issue of police trust which is at an all time low.

Harper screwed him either way. The other option would be to cancel the contract. Loose millions in penalty fees. Loose millions into the local jobs market. The same people complaining about hypocrisy would be complaining if he cancelled it and lost jobs and money. Damned if you do damned if you...

They will have to change their policy to including banning weed during work time only and won't be able to sanction you for your afterwork puff. Similar to how they treat alcohol.

Not to mention children that were victimized by persons of power (priests, scout leaders, coaches) who stayed part of that group despite the assault even becoming close to their abuser.
