01:00 [FORUM] What do you think about the alleged Rob Ford crack tape? »A bit more detail (Randy MacDonald)
The ongoing media controversy surrounding the alleged tape showing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford using crack and saying stupid things is, well, ongoing. With luck we'll actually see the alleged video and have its veracity be judged.

My main reaction to the whole controversy is sadness. Between the squalid idea of Toronto's mayor being addicted to crack (something that I have to say doesn't strike me as unbelievable, given his past alleged substance abuse and demonstrated patterns of erratic behaviour), the crowdsourcing of fundraising by Gawker to raise the needed funds, and the whole thing, it's just ... sad.

And you?

Campbell House

Campbell House, on the northwestern corner of Queen Street West and University Avenue, is the oldest house remaining in Toronto, dating from 1822 and having been moved to its current location 150 years later.

Looking west, Queen Street West

A typical enough Friday streetscape, this.

299 Queen Street West

Back in the 1990s, 299 Queen Street West was famous across Canada as the home of MuchMusic, Canada's home-grown English-language music video station and star of the CHUM-City empire. As media conglomeration has proceeded and MuchMusic lost relevance as a place for new culture, it has lost much of its charm.
