Have fun with that Mikey err Mustard. Maybe you'll want to throw some sheeple references in there just for fun.

First I think it would take a fool not to realize that was a very carefully scripted document that had likely been past his lawyers a couple of times over. The wording was very deliberate, which is something that has to be expected regarding the incident. After that the guy is well connected and has a great deal of funds at his disposal, it would be odd if he didn't try and buy a tape if one existed.
Also you continually state how you are not sticking up for the guy but then your posts all seem to have that common theme where it is the Star or gawker that is trying to railroad the guy. I am not saying that they don't have an issue with him being mayor because they obviously do, but he has done himself so few favours during his life in public office that I am more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Honestly, I think that the most logical explanation is often the most correct and in this case the most logical explanation is significant damage control after getting caught using illegal drugs in the past... not that the guy is an alcoholic who fired his chief of staff for calling him an alcoholic who requires treatment in private. No offense is meant by this because I enjoy reading some of your opinions but it seems like the web of the "it could be this" becomes so convoluted that it doesn't make much logical sense.
If the stories about his brother are in fact accurate (and the Globe and Mail isn't a "rag" so I am tempted to think that they are), it puts him in close proximity to drug dealers throughout his past and when the person who has stuck up for you the most has apparent links to dealing drugs in the past then there are some question marks that legitimately arise.
