Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's good day in court

The defamation suit being fought by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is taking some interesting twists and turns. The owner of a cafe with an exclusive, untendered, long-term lease awarded to him by a majority of City Council claimed he was being maligned by Ford's comments about the corruption behind the deal.

It turns out that it appears there were indeed some dodgy goings-on with the appearance of some very unsavory dealings.

To the dismay of the enemies of the only Mayor to bring in a budget that reduced spending in Toronto's history, there is a good chance Ford will emerge from his trial completely vindicated.
