No I think all services should be stopped and the money spent on racing cars and crack.

I live out of town, Durham so I am not effected. But the interest is still there.

Didn't really follow the Star's logic on council office budgets. It does sound like he did reduce spending there.

Oh dear. I posted the wrong link. To make it more embarrassing the machine I bookmarked it on was actually the one at home. :o

Now I'll have to wait until this evening....

Globe & Mail site has a pic of Rob Ford with some Hells Angels at a football game. He says he didn't know they were HA when they posed with him. When outlaw bikers want a photo op - when Charlie Sheen offers to lead you through a 12 step program... American tv news doesn't even pause when referring to 'Toronto's crack smoking mayor'. Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel should be all over this for tonight's shows.

The redacted wiretap stuff from the Lissi court docs has just been released.

CBC Newsworld have just reported that Ford is on tape offering to pay to get the video back.

Not nice!

I googled Nigella. She's a TV chef, not a Mayor.
