It's funny how his weight gives him a pass as not being a crack user.

There's a difference between knowing a guys a user and proving he's a user. The first is good for making personal decisions, the 2nd is necessary to send him to jail. -:)

He didn't break any law. The evidence for possession went in his lungs and there is no law against being high.

It's a morals issue and potentially influential abuses made along the way.

As for his weight. Even if he were a daily user, he can afford to eat unlike the users you see on the streets.

For example there is no difference in the rate of drug abuse between East Hastings/Eastside Vancouver and the wealthy city of West Vancouver just across the inle. The drugs are done indoors so you don't see it and the rich people still eat three meals a day.

Morals are irrelevant to some people as long as they like the persons politics. Many people looked the other way with Hitler because he was transforming Germany into a powerhouse.

Hitler and Co. were jib heads. Use of jib in military is commonplace even today.

Ford isn't a militant leader but he is the ultimate head honcho of the cops as Mayor.

It just really damn shady.

If we were both standing side by each I probably wouldn't. I have a darker complexion and am not quite so pudgy. -:)

I wasn't referring to appearance.

I've come to something of an epiphany after reading all the posts here...

Mussolini made the trains run on time so it was OK for him to murder thousands and thousands of innocents.

Ford improved garbage pickup so it's OK for him to use crack cocaine.

I'm still waiting to read your epiphany.

I hope that wasn't.

It may actually be in his small word.

Or use Hilter as a meter as well.

Tell that to peasants murdered by narco gangsters in the developing world-you know the place you've never been.

Y'know people here in Vancouver always think of TO as a dump and a sh!thole and with good reason-that's what it is.

But their flaky mayor outranks ours not just in kilos but in good old fashioned idiocy-we have Mayor Moonbeam they have Mayor Druggie-just like Detroit.

If you asked me if you can borough some cash, and I rob a bank to get it. Are you guilty?

No doubt, but you really aren't very well informed, so, well, you know.

To a very real extent, they should be.

“So as not to reveal that the original bottles were seized replacement bottles were left behind,” the documents say.

Picked up hours later from a hotel room and charged with uttering threats and possession of heroin and cocaine.
Two weeks later, MacIntyre writes Kathy a letter from where he is being held in Toronto West Detention Centre asking her to get the charges against him dropped :
"You and your family have one chance to leave me the f--- alone and stop this s---, or I am going to start a s--- storm. You and your family think I should play nice, f--- you."



MacIntyre writes a second letter to the Star "indicating that a reporter should come and speak to Mr. MacIntyre for information that he could divulge to the papers."
