Where there are irregularities of very slight consequence, it does not intend that the infliction of penalties should be inflexibly severe. If the deviation were a mere trifle, which, if continued in practice, would weigh little or nothing on the public interest, it might properly be overlooked.

In other words, if the mayor Rob Ford raised charity funds with city stationary on the odd days, and voted to ignore mundane requests of the ethics commissioner on the even days, his actions would weigh little or nothing on the public interest. —Objective Citizen

  1. Yawn. – Rob Ford could be Anastasio Fucking Somoza. Who cares. He deserves Toronto and they, by golly, deserve him.

  2. Snore – indeed. Keep these politicians accountable & strictly liable for their discrepancies – it’s the only way to keep these crooks in line.

  3. Peter Kelly isn’t the mayor anymore, Blow Me. It’s Mike Savage now.

    Who gives a rats ass about 3500 dollars that went to buy uniforms for a underpriveleged sports team. Toronto council should find better shit to do with their time.
