any charges or just a bunch of story telling?...

 Quote:
Based on the video, there is nothing now that would support laying a criminal charge against Ford, Blair said.
Blair said he has seen the video. His reaction? “As a citizen of the city, I am disappointed.”


err

I think the PMO scandal is a bigger deal

But we should allow low income housing units in the condos on the waterfront...
We should get the poor people to live like the rich and have the middle class pay for it.

if all this turns out to be true, i hope he can apologize to the 2 star reporters and that gawker guy and then step down. i support his agenda, i don't care about his personal life, but i can't back anyone that's a bold faced liar.

and this ana bailao with the waterfront housing for the poor. wtf? it's going to cost 20mil for something like 70 units? i'm sure that same money would buy a lot more if it wasn't prime location. and like someone said on the radio, it's in a location that isn't established. there won't be any services and only minimal public transport, and you're going to be lower income people there?

and with the senate scandal, those 2 need to step down as well. take your lumps. and THEN go an expose whatever the PMO did.

There's no credibility anywhere in politics.

wow.

i don't care that rob ford did/does crack. i just think he shouldn't have denied it.

if he was a pretty boy like trudeau, i'm sure he wouldn't take so much heat. either way, when the video comes out, he'll have to resign for lying to the public.

From what I gather, no he doesn't.

Its different on the Municipal level, they can't force him out. He has clearly stated that he won't resign and if it all comes out like its being suggested, I have a feeling he still won't resign. In fact I think the numbers were showing that the majority of people will still vote for him (not me I think he's an idiot).

Apart from resigning the only way he can be removed from office is if he is arrested and convicted and has to do jail time.

^^ What we need is for Wright to come out and say he resigned to save face for the PM, a big F-YOU, but he's probably going to get another conservative gig somewhere else, so he's keeping his mouth shut.

ya hes loaded and likely has too much future coin on the line to do that.

I like how the senators are attempting to burn it all down though and wont go down without a fight.

Harper is a lying pos and is one of the worst PM's ever. been saying that he is scum since day one.

http://www.torontosun.com/2013/11/01/mayors-popularity-rises-in-face-of-crack-video-scandal

Mayor's popularity rises in face of crack video scandal

TORONTO - “Do not press an enemy that is cornered” -- Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Mayor Rob Ford is in a corner and the jackals are swirling.

But he’s not dead yet and appears to be prepared to fight on.

A new Forum Research poll shows the mayor’s approval rating post Chief Bill Blair’s confirmation of an alleged crack video gained five points from 39% to 44%.

Not so fast, those sizing up the mayor’s potentially vacant chief magistrate’s chair.

Who knows what next week’s phone call intercept revelations will show or how high an approval rating Ford will go as a result?

Few are changing the channel on this drama.

Ford is down but still holds some cards — the biggest being he is still the mayor with a mandate for one more year.

You can’t fire an elected mayor.

Not because his supporters or enemies on council believe he should be. Not because those behind a political-assassination-script are rolling it out on queue. Not because newspapers have called for his resignation.

And certainly not because the chief is “disappointed and concerned.”

Even if police end up charging Ford, they still can’t sack him.

Only the voters can.

Ford could choose to fire himself by resigning.

It doesn’t look like he will take this advice he has been receiving from so many.

“The job is his life and he loves it,” his lawyer Dennis Morris said Friday. “I don’t see him giving it up.”

But who really knows where this runaway train will stop.

Maybe not even embattled Ford himself.

Perhaps it will become clearer in Sunday’s much anticipated The City radio show on Newstalk 1010. The show may be make-it-or-break-it time for the mayor, who has used up eight of his nine political cat lives.

He owes Toronto an explanation for all that has been exposed that appears to capture loutish and bizarre behaviour.

Perhaps he will ask for the cost of spying on him for five months and if the police had anything else they could have been doing. Maybe he will ask why an outside police service was not called in for fear of the conflict of interest this action would cause between the chief and mayor at police budget time.

Mostly he should just talk to Toronto and tell the truth.

However Ford decides to proceed, the talk show is the best place to attempt to explain himself, apologize, announce his intentions, push back, or — if he chooses — resign.

It might be time for a little contrition, humility and some assurance to the public that he has two hands on the steering wheel and plans to keep them there.

But who knows with the mayor right now? How he navigates forward is anybody’s guess.

He seems to have a “Rob Ford against the world” approach. His world crashed down this week — much of it self-inflicted.

However, while it’s clear his behaviour has appeared delinquent and brutish, it does not mean everyone else’s need to be.

This is a feeding frenzy, the knives are out and there is blood in the water. Opponents mustering in a lynch-mob pack approach can smell the kill and just about everybody else is running away from the potential carnage to attempt to make sure none of blood splatter lands on them.

That’s politics.

But this is a human being, a husband and father who may need compassion, medical assistance, love or even intervention. Maybe he needs a kick in the butt. He is certainly entitled to due process and presumption of innocence like everyone else.

Deserved or not, the irony of the collective attempting to push Ford over the political cliff is the more they pile on, the more he has no choice other than to fight back.

He was elected to do the job no matter how many critics don’t feel he is worthy.

The bottom line, no matter how much poor judgment he has shown around his many talents and achievements, democracy states a mayor can’t be removed just because there is a chanting choir desiring it.

The new poll may not get the same kind of headlines but the opponents will take note.

As Sun Tzu said “if you surround the enemy, leave an outlet” because such a back-to-the-wall warrior has nothing to lose.

it's pretty clear that he FINALLY realized there was no use denying it any further. some say that his surprise drop-in on am640 yesterday was what opened his eyes. essentially the birthplace of 'ford-nation', john oakley grilled him about the crack and all he could do was deflect.

it's a step in the right direction. take your lumps, step down, and let the city progress. he's started the city in the right direction with accountability and fiscal responsibility but he can no longer be the symbol of that. staying around will be to the detriment of the cause.

How's this for publicity?
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2013/11/01/2872601/5-toronto-mayor-rob-ford-worse-smoking-crack/

Awesome things Ford has done:

1. Voted against AIDS funding because “If you are not doing needles and you are not gay, you wouldn’t get AIDS probably.” “‘These are the facts,’ he added when asked if he backed his earlier comments. According to the United Nations, the majority of those affected with AIDS are heterosexual, non-drug users.” [City News Toronto, 6/29/06]

2. Used a racial slur against a member of the city council. “Day 3 of council’s week-long budget deliberations degenerated into chaos briefly after an outraged Mammoliti accused Ford of calling him a “Gino boy,” a term used to disparage Italian Canadians.” Two other council members confirmed Ford used the slur, but he blamed a “left-wing conspiracy.” [Toronto Star, 3/7/02]

3. Solicited money from lobbyists on city letterhead for the Rob Ford Football Foundation, his private charity. He then participated in a city council vote to drop an investigation into the matter. [City News Toronto, 1/25/13]

4. Proposed eliminating the city’s watchdog agencies, after they targeted him for misconduct. “You don’t need a lobbyist registry, an ombudsman and an integrity commissioner. They have 20 people; they’re tripping over themselves. They’re trying to make themselves look busy.” [Toronto Star, 10/25/12]

5. Said “Oriental people” are “taking over” Toronto because “they work like dogs.” Later, he largely defended his comments, claiming it was a compliment. [City News Toronto, 3/06/08]
