I guess the guy going against Ford wants to escalate this to the Supreme Court. Good luck with that.

I actually think that leave to appeal to the SCC might be granted.

I sure hope not. It could potentially be the biggest waste of the the supreme court's time in history.

The interesting question, from my perspective, is whether it matters that the council resolution was ultra vires? Conflict of interest is about conduct, and Ford clearly was not aware that the resolution was ultra vires (indeed, if he did, why would he bother voting on it?), so his conduct was still a violation? Or is the whole thing rendered moot?
I don't know. Just musing out loud really.

LOL, he's still going:
http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/02...football-team/
A city councillor says he will lodge a complaint with the integrity commissioner, if someone else doesn’t, following revelations that Rob Ford appears to still be asking registered lobbyists to donate to his private football foundation.
The practice, which formed part of a court case that almost cost the mayor his job, came under fire back in 2010, when then-city councillor Rob Ford sought and obtained donations to his charity from lobbyists under his official letterhead.

I love Rob Ford. Most entertaining politician we've had in Canada in a long time. Oh sure he's beyond a disaster, but train wrecks are fun to watch.

I love that so many people hate him that they want to try to pull him down.
Anyone who instead of trying to play nice with people that hate them, just instead sticks up the middle finger and waves it at them is ok in my books.
I wonder if instead of funding this started a foundation to fund teams at other schools struggling to field football teams which must be a really dirty subject in Toronto because its trying to fund such a violent neanderthal sport that discriminates against women.
What he should do is start an LGBT foundation and then see what the media and councillors in Toronto say. I would even donate 10$ just to see if the Toronto Star self imploded.

Regardless of the foundation, I don't think it's appropriate to send it with official city documents on the city letterhead to constituents. It is hard to have a problem with his cause though.

It's being reported all over now. I just saw it on CNN. No need to remove the posts at his point.

Discussing what's being reported is fine (it was fine in the removed thread).
Speculation about who else might be doing drugs isn't (which is why the other thread was removed).

What an embarrassment to Canada. So do we move towards random drug tests on all political runners? I think it should happen!

Or just have common sense and not elect beachball shaped thugs to public office.

Exactly what I figured. When I saw some of those other comments I had a feeling the other thread would be trashed.
