      I'm always a little surprised this doesn't come up more often. His brother was a total crackhead.

            Don't get me wrong - I don't disagree. It's an excellent article. But Obviously Rob and Doug have been pretty shitty for Toronto and Ontario. Even without the drugs.

                Absolutely. We have been waiting over 4 years now for OAP (Ontario Autism Program) that provides the training for our child to deal with life in the real world.
                It will affect him for the rest of his life.
                It’s only one thing the Ford government is doing to Ontarian’s across the board. Seeming a lot like a Dictator doug lining his and his cronies pockets if you ask me.

                      tl;dr: Old dealers and drug users told the Globe that from high school to age 22, Doug dealt a lot of drugs to other drug dealers. The police in his area said they had no recollection of anything to do with any of the Fords and drugs, including the officer that arrested Randy Ford (Rob and Doug’s other brother) for putting someone in a trunk and kidnapping them to shake the kidnapee’s parents down for drug money. Snippit:

                      As a dealer, Doug Ford was not highly visible. Another source, "Tom," who also supplied street-level dealers and has a long criminal record, said his girlfriend at the time would complain, whenever he was arrested, that he needed to be more calculating "like Doug." [...] When asked where Mr. Ford fit in the hierarchy of dealers in their neighbourhood, [another interviewee] replied: "He'd be at the top."

                        13 years later, did Doug ever sue the Globe for slander like he threatened? I don't think he did.

                          This article is more about how shitty the Ontario voter is. Everyone knew. No one cared. He hurts the right people.

                            WTF....this article is over a decade old, and Ontario didn't care then, they don't care now.

                              You can't be sued for libel if you print the truth.

                                @SaveTheTuaHawk @EatYourOrach Not exactly true. You can be sued, but will need to prove your case to a judge - potentially very costly.
                                A few provinces in Canada have legislated against these #SLAPP lawsuits but not all.
