I know many of you don't like Conrad Black but he does have a way with words. I don't condone Rob Ford's behaviour but I don't condone what the Star has done either.
I hadn't read before that the Star actually sent out letters to 70 prominent Torontonians urging them to agitate for Ford’s removal — and threatening to print their names if they didn’t join in That alone should be cause for concern, concern that any newspaper would try to intimidate well known people into taking up their quest to remove a duly elected politician.
It's a long article and IMO worth a read, I won't copy any of it here.
