Toronto gets to keep their mayor ... for now

So, Ford is off the hook not because he wasn't in a conflict of interest but because council exceeded its jurisdiction in having the vote in the first place. As Clayton Ruby suggests, he pretty much got off on a technicality. Personally, I hope it's over with and that the appeal Ruby suggests doesn't go forward. There a serious issues in how Rob and Doug operate but this isn't the way to deal with them. The electoral finances audit might turn up something more serious and worthy of a fight or it might not, we'll see.
