"SNIP......


The widow and children of Toronto mayor Rob Ford have sued Doug Ford alleging he has deprived them of millions of dollars, including shares in the family business and a life insurance policy left behind to support his family.

In a $16.5-million lawsuit, filed Friday in Superior Court, Renata Ford also alleges that Doug Ford is a “negligent” business manager whose decisions have led to a steady decrease in the value of the Ford company, Deco Labels. Despite setting his sight on a political career, Doug has continued to receive “extravagant compensation,” even though Deco is losing money, Renata claims in her court filings.

......

These claims relating to Deco are completely false and we will strongly refute them in court,” said Doug Ford, who was campaigning in Brampton on Monday.

“I have also stood by my brother and his family through so many of their challenging times, and will always be there for (Rob and Renata’s children). Renata’s lawyers have been clear to us throughout this campaign, that either we hand over money, or they would go public with these false claims, and that is exactly what they have done, with three days to go until the election.”

He's such an odious little character. And the OLP is sending out these terrible messages for people to vote Liberal even though she admits she's going to lose, just to stop people from giving the NDP or the PCs a "blank cheque."

Hey, Kathleen!! If you don't shut up, you'll be handing DOUG FORD a blank cheque, because the NDP are the last best hope right now! I sure as hell am not going to support the OLP in the face of a Ford majority. I hope this lawsuit news is enough to close the gap between the NDP and the PCs.

Also, how do the PCs have a CHANCE IN HELL when they don't even have a costed platform THE WEEK OF THE ELECTION?!?!‽‽

Who, me? Frustrated? Nah!
