Update on Fordgate: (Crackgate?)

Ford fired his chief of staff yesterday, apparently because he told Ford to "Go To Rehab".

Lovin' this.

Also, the executive council of Toronto, appointed by the mayor doesn't seem to support him anymore.

And Tyrone Benskin (NDP, Jeanne-Le Ber) was excluded from shadow cabinet after Mulcair learned in news than he didn't pay his provincial taxes between 2007 and 2011. He blamed it on being an artist and having no money to pay.

Back to Crackgate. Ford held a press conference this afternoon stating "I do not use crack". Note the present tense in that statement Tongue

Ford denies all the allegations, but the executive committee will try and govern without him nonetheless.

Well, to be fair, many "poors" don't pay taxes for much the same reason.

"Dude come on" is addressed @ Mr. Benskin.

OLP MPP Tarinder Takhar will retire at the next election. On that subject, new Ipsos/CTV poll has a 34/34/26 topline. Hudak definitely has to fix those toxic personals (how'd they appear?), plus lasso Blue Grits and swingy WWC populists.

Taxes: Mai also has unpaid taxes, but he disclosed them to Dawson and not to the public.

We also definitely need full expenses disclosure in both houses, not that we're ever gonna get them.

The Rob Ford fund is going to be tight. They're at $110,000 with 6 days left.

They're at $135,000 with 4 1/2 days left.  Definitely on pace they just have to keep it going.

Well, it'll likely slow down as they get closer to the deadline. That's why I think it's going to be tight.

172k with 2 1/3 days left.

Aka, there's a fairly decent chance the tape never existed.

It's pretty disgusting the personal grubby tactics the left are using against Ford. This is the prime example - if it existed, then fair enough, but there was no evidence, but if you throw enough mud, some of it is going to stick. Can't beat him on policy, can't beat him legitimately politically, have to resort to these disgusting tactics. Racing down the track of US-style negative campaigns.

Unless the tape appears, all hearsay. But you'd also expect a libel suit... anyways, won't damage Rob Ford's electoral chances since his supporters certainly won't vote for his antithesis, urban progressives like Chow, Vaughan & Co. Doug Ford is a bigger problem since he's already been nominated by the PCs and last thing Hudak needs is a PR headache. Dumping him would damage Hudak's prospects among the very voters he needs to become premier- populist WWC.

Wonder if the Ford camp bought the tape? Sad

This is terrible news.
