And two about Toronto's Crack Using Mayor and his Brother

[james_davis_nicoll]

Coun. Doug Ford says he’s sorry if he offended anyone by handing out cash to people living in a Toronto Community Housing building last night, promising to switch to Tim Hortons gift cards in future.

And

Toronto Star city hall reporter Daniel Dale has taken the first step toward suing Mayor Rob Ford over comments he made in a televised interview with Conrad Black. Dale claims the mayor implied he was a pedophile.

Doug Ford still doesn't get it apparently. A bribe is a bribe, regardless of the medium.

I wish Dale luck in his lawsuit but I wonder if he will get any satisfaction.

At a guess, the satisfaction that he (and his newspaper, which is paying for the suit) are looking for, is getting Mayor Ford on a witness stand under oath. Or, lacking that, at least giving a deposition under oath. In fact, the latter might be preferable, as the questioning can be much more off-topic.

There's his problem, then: he was handing out money to people in Toronto. I don't vote anywhere in Canada; let him give cash to me and he'd be fine. *grin*

... that first one is SO quintessentially Canadian, I don't even. What this.
