Rob Ford loses again

He’s been denied his ridiculous demand for compensation in the conflict of interest case, as expected.

What’s fascinating, however, is that the Divisional Court seems to be suggesting that he shouldn’t expect the coming Supreme Court hearing to go his way, either:

  • They take pains to note that he lost on three of the four grounds he argued on appeal – ie., don’t get cocky, sonny.
  • They characterize the case as a “significant” matter of “public interest” – which is effectively the threshold you need to meet to get the high court to hear your case.

    If I understand correctly, Rob Ford can have the City of Toronto’s taxpayers pay the tab for this lawsuit.
