Is that something new? -:)
Dear gawd no. Nor is the "Is that the best you can do?" taunt.

He has a limited repertoire to draw from and holds a grudge for years. Hell he's been mad at me since I made him look silly in some discussion about Muslims that he ran from after posting a personal attack, because well... let's just quote him...

... can't actually refute anything you are saying so they have fallen back on their usual tactic of attacking you personally.

JLM, why you invest any energy in communicating with Cannuck is just crazy. He's only worth trolling and making fun of.

Damage by whom?
Really dude?

Yeah, you run across people like that from time to time, but I was taught that making fun of imbeciles is cruel (but it is tempting) -:)

Even if CB's silly assertions had any truth to them, it really has nothing to do with the issue. The real issue (and the reason CB is so desperately trying to change the subject) is that he, and people like him place a higher value on a dollar than they do ethical behaviour. They are willing to support somebody with ties to the criminal element if it saves them a buck. I can see why this revelation is embarrassing and deflection is now needed. Sal did a wonderful job and if this now has to be about me so CB can feel he is saving face, so be it

Do you have proof or is the above just another personal attack?

Toronto’s police chief says investigators have recovered a digital video file that shows Rob Ford in a situation that is consistent with images described in recent media reports.

Last May, Gawker and the Toronto Star published reports about a video that allegedly shows Ford smoking crack cocaine from a glass pipe. The alleged video has not surfaced.

In response to the allegations, Ford said he does not use crack cocaine and he denied the video's existence.

At a news conference Thursday, Chief Bill Blair would not describe the video's contents or Ford's actions in the video, but he admitted he is "disappointed" by the discovery.
“I think as a citizen of Toronto I’m disappointed,” Blair added moments later, saying the controversy is a “traumatic” issue for Toronto residents and the city’s image.


Police obtain video of Ford that is consistent with reports, Blair says | CP24.com

From what I'd been reading, it's still not confirmed that what he was smoking was crack. Either way though, even if it wasn't crack, supposedly the video exposes other troubling facts concerning the people he keeps company.

Taking the time to read the thread before you post may be helpful

That's not important to some people though. As long as he is saving them money, all is good

There's no proof of what he is supposedly smoking period, and whom he keeps "company" with is no ones business if he is doing his job, something he has been doing quite well as none of his "detractors" can find anything wrong with that part of his life. That is the reason they pull bullshyte out of their a$$ concerning his personal life.

The whole thread is evidence. Perhaps you misspoke. What evidence are you looking for.

The real issue (and the reason CB is so desperately trying to change the subject) is that he, and people like him place a higher value on a dollar than they do ethical behaviour.

And the problem is???????????????

To be fair though, I've not seen the video yet and can only judge from what i've read about it. he has apologized for something supposedly.

That statement doesn't quite "fly". Actually the contrary perhaps. I have no problem with Ford Per se.......................would I vote for him? Maybe, maybe not. From what I can gather, Bear likes Ford because he admires his ability to get important things done for the City and he does what he says he is going to do. Does Ford use crack cocaine? I don't know. Is he connected to people who use it? Probably! Does that interfere with his ability to do his job? Maybe. If Ford is in fact breaking serious laws then I wouldn't vote for him but not because I don't like Ford, but rather because a politician first and foremost has to uphold the law only if to set a good example.
