Rob Ford’s widow sues Doug Ford, alleging he stole millions
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
You mean that since Hillary didn't win against Obama, didn't win against Trump.....
She wasn't greedy?????
Are yoU saying she hasn’t made these accusations or filed a lawsuit? If she hasn’t, then it’s fake. If she has, then it’s real.
Doesn’t look like it’s affecting his support at all.
Of the leaders of the three major parties Ford is the only one who showed up in KAP
even though his candidate doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning her
I would be very very surprised if that happened.

It's pretty lousy hanging someone on a cross for stuff they did in their late teens and early twenties. People grow older and mature...some rise to great stature.
Sadly though, with this era of social media you rarely get a chance to reinvent yourself. I was a cocky goof in my youth and I have a bunch of instances in my life I wish I could take back. I bet I'm not the only one, even just on this forum who feels the same way.

It was a crime. Back then, trafficing dope to minors would have earned you a good, long penetentiary sentence. You seem to be okay with supplying minors with drugs. Clearly, you and I come from very different moral places. He is a criminal.
By the way, what ever happened about that murder associated with he brother's "crack" video?
Doug the Thug involved?
It wouldn't surprise me for a moment.
How do you know he supplied minors with drugs? Seems to me you are desperately leaping to conclusions to support your hate for the Conservatives.
Read the previous posts. I have two trustworthy accounts of it.
By the way, I have been a Conservative voter for forty five years. You're the "hater", here. I'm not a trained seal, though, I WILL NOT support or vote for someone who is not worthy of the post, Conservative or not.
I hadn't realized before that you're a bit dim.
It's worse than that. what would you think of me if I opened a recreational cannabis shop and sold only to adults? Sure it would be legal. Sure I'd be selling to adults. But I'd still be selling an extremely harmful substance to people who'd have no medical need for it.
That it was a criminal offence and that he was selling to minors (assuming he was selling to minors) just make it worse.
Now I will grant that people change and apparently this was many years ago. But he needs to show that he's changed. He's proposed selling this stuff in LCBOs. I don't mind that idea per se, but as long as we make entering an LCBO more difficult too. If he still thinks cannabis is no more harmful than candy, then do we really want a government run by him managing the cannabis file? The last thing we need is this stuff being sold at 7/11s.
Can one realistically evaluate a person in his 50s based on some stuff he was reputed to have done as a teenager? I know I did some pretty stupid shit before age 30 that I haven't dreamt of doing since and I imagine I'm not the only one in that boat. Experience can be a great teacher.
Of course people change. But let's look at Ford's proposals now. He's proposing selling cannabis in LCBOs. While that's not necessarily a bad idea per se, it would be a good idea only if we also make it more difficult for a person to enter an LCBO. In other words, I want him to prove that he now understands how harmful recreational cannabis is. From what I can see in his policy proposals, it's not all that clear how well he understands that.
I would agree that he probably bears watching, but with an open mind as to what would be found.
I can tell you from watching a close loved one and how cannibis change them that it is dangerous. It changes one's behaviour and not in a positive way.
We still need to consider his past. He said he wants cannabis sold in LCBOs. With his past, he should understand how people could interpret that and so pre-empt misunderstanding by emphasizing what kind of checks he might implement at LCBOs to do that. Of course we'd question any candidate on the matter, but especially one who'd sold it in the past to be sure he does understand the harms that drug can cause.
I would suggest we manage cannabis similarly to how Singapore manages gambling. In other words, to enter a cannabis shop, a person would need to apply for scannable ID card and scan his facial image. Then he'd need to scan his card and fingerprint each time he enters a cannabis shop and the shop should have facial-recognition cameras as a back-up in case he somehow gets past the gate unchecked. Any person on a self-exclusion list should not be allowed in and the shop should pay a heavy fine for letting any self-excluded person in and risk losing its business licence if it happens too often.
If a merchant wants to sell it, by all means, but only to those who want to be able to access it. An addict should have a way to opt out and anyone caught providing it to him should face the legal consequences of their actions.
Looking ahead 4 years, I just can't see any long term good coming out of this election.
