It's strange to see so little recent commentary here about Hizzoner since Mayor McCheese has hardly been what you'd call "idle" during the past few weeks. Rather the reverse, in fact. Maybe people just don't want to think about him, which I can certainly sympathise with. God knows I'll be happy when Ford finally slithers out of the public spotlight for good, and I never have to think about him again.
Enzo Di Matteo of Now Magazine did a pretty good summation last week of what appears to be both anti- and pro-Ford factions at work within the Toronto police force, as well as all the underlying politics at work. I thought it was worth posting a link to, so here it 'tis:

There really is an unsavory presence at City Hall these days, which has nothing to do with Politics As Usual. As I've repeatedly said here, ordinary politicians just don't pull the kind of stunts that the Fords do, as this weekend's payback against Paul Ainslie more than proves.
