Numbers are growing. With an Apple App Spam is almost negligible
Standards continue to evolve as I become more surefooted.
Comments denigrating staff continue to be made, not published and numbers are reduced.
Councillors are fair game but I try to screen out personal references. It would be better to stay away from the personal.
As I told the Mayor last Tuesday. I didn't learn what people expect of me from books. I learned the hard way. I don;t think it hurts for Councillors to read reactions to performance as long as it is the political performance.
Growth in the comment numbers is the most positive from my perspective.
I've never understood why people can't get into a vigorous argument for the joy of it.
My twenty -three year old grandson phoned me from Whitby today. He'd been listening to CFRB
speaking on the release of documents from the Toronto police department
I haven't had television or radio on , so I haven't heard it.
Aaron has been determined to prove I'm wrong about Rob Ford and he wanted to rub my face in it.
I love my grandson and I love that he cares as much about something as I do.
We pick up the argument where we left off whenever we see each other.
He thinks I admire Rob Ford personally.I continue to insist the fact he won a decisive victory as Mayor of Toronto in a fair fight against a number of valid candidates. must be respected.
I cannot begin to comprehend what it takes to accomplish such an overwhelming challenge.
In Rob Ford' s case it wasn't urbane slick .
It wasn 't self-proclaimed righteousness.
There was no vainglory .
I think it's because Rob Ford is the common man with all the flaws and foibles plain to be seen.
Voters empathized and felt every cruel cut of the machete attacks by the Toronto Star .
It became even more ferocious after he won the day and became the City's Mayor,

In our place we have decided not to talk about Rob Ford for a while. It appears this is all headed for the courts and will take a long time to shake out.
Canadian Press
" Police ' botched ' Mayor Ford probe, lawyer alleges "
The lawyer is Clayton Ruby. Surprised ? Not
Let's stick to "our town and its business". We have enough to deal with, 3 old trees, an imaginary park, sports complexes, rent free tenants...........
We cannot resolve our own issues-why worry about Ford?
17:20...Now that's funny!....Sad, but funny.
So, they found the video of Ford.
First of all, if it shows him smoking a pipe, there is nothing to prove what he was smoking. There can never be a charge leveled at him for smoking crack becasue there is no way to prove that.
Secondly, at this point in time, the only thing that he is guilty of is lying. Now, think about that, there are hundreds and thousands out there that are demanding he resign because he lied. What makes his lies worse than any other politiian's lies? McGinty lied about raising taxes. Is it because he lied about something in his personal life? Are lies in the political arena okay but when lie at a personal level you are bad?
I think that there is still a lot to come. Ford needs to lay low for a while before making any more stupid decisions.
It was an election not a beatification.
I'm no Ford advocate but I think the Police Chief has made an enormous mistake. He seems to be confirming suspicions about what was in that pipe. No way he can know for sure. there are at least 2 other possible substances. I can't see how he is going to wiggle out of that assumption. Mayor Ford has some pretty decent lawyers
