Lisi will appear in court today. The police chief said he was “disappointed” after viewing the video. Chief Blair said the video was recovered as part of the Project Traveller raids on alleged gang activity in the city’s northwest end this summer. “I think it’s fair to say the mayor does appear in that video but I’m not going to get into the detail of what activities is depicted in that video,” Chief Blair said in a news conference at a police headquarters. He said it is “consistent with what had been previously described in various media reports.” The Toronto Star and Gawker.com reported earlier this year that they saw video of the mayor smoking crack cocaine and making a homophobic slur about Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau. “We’ve done our job here,” says Chief Blair. He said a second digital file that was “relevant” had also been recovered. “I have been advised that we are now in possession of a recovered digital video file relevant to the investigations that have been conducted. That file contains video images which appear to be those images which were previously reported in the press, with respect to events that took place, we believe at a house on Windsor Road in Etobicoke.”[/quote] The Press Conference: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GneADuHDJBA[/url] Well, I guess this just confirms that Mayor Rob Ford is about as much of a lying sack of shit as we all thought he was.

Rob Ford - Everyone's favorite crack-smoking hash-dealing morbidly-obese mayor.

"Are you shocked?" "I'm disappointed." Best exchange in the whole press conference. Not shock, just disappointment. That fucking says it for me.
Torstar and Gawker I doubted, but I'll believe the cops. If they say they've got the video then there must be a video.
if they were ever going to make a movie about rob ford's life, like lincoln or something, it's be a comedy instead of a drama
I look forward to Rob getting flustered and denying everything to the media. As usual.
"One of the most consequential mayor statements in Toronto history will be made before a backdrop of ghost skeletons." Everything about this story is awesome.
The Sun, The Star, The Globe, and The National Post are all calling for Ford's resignation. In my lifetime there has never been a Canadian politician so brutally felled by his detractors and supporters in the space of an afternoon.

If things keep going and more revelations come to light (I have no information on any such things, but scandals tend to cluster), we might see something similar.
The Sun was what really hit hard here, they've been largely Ford supporters (until he began swearing at one of their journalists), having them call for his resignation is huge, the Red Star, CBC, and Globe called for his resignation as soon as he was elected because they didn't like him or his politics, so them saying something is pretty well redundant, they've been saying it for 3 years now. The Sun though, the right-wing paper, demanding his resignation is huge, they actually agree with his politics and didn't hate him at the onset for not being left-wing (which is really why The Star at least hated him, they're as far biased left as The Sun is right).
I knew it. I had almost no doubt that this was true.

Look at last election, parliament dissolved because the Tories broke the law and what happened? They got a Majority. The Duffy scandal won't touch them come 2015. And why isn't anyone talking about Marc Harb, who owes over $250,000, has been charged by the RCMP, but Trudeau said if he paid the money back he'd be welcome back in the Liberal caucus? People are focusing on Wallin and Duffy and the Tories, while Harb and the Liberals seem to be getting a free ride past a scandal by the media.

I have absolutely no confidence in the future of Canadian politics. Really..

I'm still kind of bummed that Gawker wasn't able to buy it from that dealer with the Crackstarter money.
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;42716562]I'm still kind of bummed that Gawker wasn't able to buy it from that dealer with the Crackstarter money.[/QUOTE] No, it really isn't. I don't get why more people aren't questioning why people were being so supportive of a gossip website who was willing to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars directly into Toronto crime just to make the mayor look bad. I don't want any dealer getting a sudden $200,000, that's money right into crime, lord knows what kind of havoc he could cause in the city with a sudden windfall like that. I find Gawker's willingness to fund Toronto street crime like that deplorable. Our mayor being an idiot is not worth funnelling 200 grand right into crime.
