Must have missed it. As you are in the know show me.

Again, what evidence are you looking for? You quoted a post of mine where I made four statements. All statements referred to things posted on this thread. I can't help you if you aren't prepared to help yourself.

No I just cannot be bothered with you. That is all, now carry on.

Lol...you are getting as silly as CB. Why would you ask for evidence and then not explain what evidence you want? Are you just trolling. It certainly appears that way. You aren't very good at it btw

I rarely troll. I would appear to be bad at something that you are good at. I take that as a moral positive and a compliment, why who knew. Again, thank you for the compliment.

Why don't we just get to the crux of the issue? To start with anyone can vote for anyone they wish to on election day, so on election day the matter will probably sort itself out. Until then what part of Ford's job is he not performing to expectations? That is where we should let go of the matter. On the other matter of Wallin, Duffy and the other turkey, they are costing us too much money. Deep Six them.

Yes, if you don't care that your political leaders are cavorting with the criminal element. As I alluded to earlier, many people in Germany during the 30's look the other way because Germany was improving financially. If people in Toronto value a dollar over ethics, all the power to them. I'm just glad I don't live there. I see TO becoming the next Kweebeck

My computer keeps "bombing" so I'll try this again. You could be on a slippery slope there! What is "cavorting". As a mayor I would think there are times when you have issues necessitating inter acting with all segments of society. What would you do if a Hell's Angel came to your office complaining that City road work had just resulted in flooding his club house? It might necessitate meeting with him at McDonalds and having a cup of coffee. If you don't like his "cavorting" you have a perfect right to vote accordingly on election day.......... until then you should let go of it.

My issue is not with what Rob Ford does. My issue is that many people don't care because they are benefitting financially.

For many people making ends meet is a struggle, if I was in that situation I might tend to vote for someone who can ease the burden. If you are going to start addressing ethics you have to look at the complete picture and remember that what you see is often only half the story. Just look at how long it took to get rid of that mayor of Montreal.............years before a judge would even pass judgment on him, so that might be your first clue.

Corruption is acceptable in Montreal. It would appear many in TO could not care less if their city goes down the same road....as long as they get what they want.

There is no evidence of corruption. Even the Police Chief himself stated that there was no evidence that they could charge Ford with anything. All there is, is supposition and innuendo against Ford. After all this time that is all they still have.

Again, my issue is not what Ford has or hasn't done. I don't follow TO politics. I'm simply pointing out that people say they don't care what Ford does or who he associates with because they like his politics. That is putting money ahead of ethics and integrity. It is not much different than people excusing Ralph's treatment of the people at the homeless shelter just because "he did what he said he would do".

Nope- You have concluded he is guilty- perhaps you should provide that evidence to Chief Blair.
Or are you just smoking something when you make such claims.
Many people do indulge ya know.

That's not what Bear has said, and if you're not talking about him, then who are these "people" you are talking about?

So if you are not following it how can you have an informed opinion.
