   Ford's cabal floundering a little after    
   16 Sep 18 18:47:00   
   
   Looks like it.  They know they have to do something before the October 22   
   election date for Toronto but they can't seem to move the impediments in their   
   way to chop the city Council in half.   
      
   They can't appeal the judge's decision in time for the election.  So they're   
   asking that same court to 'stay' Judge Belobaba’s ruling - as if it didn't   
   happen - so that Ford and his gang can move forward in their slashing   
   unapposed.  Good luck with    
   that, Ford.   
      
   The appeal was filed by the City of Toronto, not your gang.  The court ruled   
   in their favour and against your cuts.  The court case is over - and cannot be   
   'stayed'.  A case can only be stayed if it is still in process - this one has   
   been nailed down.   
      
   Your route is to try to appeal the City's appeal and for that you need to find   
   a legal error made by Judge Belobaba in his ruling.  Otherwise,  you're gonna   
   be sweet outa luck.   
      
   There's another problem for Ford and his gang:  the earliest date that Bill 31   
   - the one to supersede the failed Bill 5 - could pass is September 24.  That's   
   because amendments have been proposed by the opposition parties and those must   
   be discussed,    
   voted on and passed or amended again.   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯       
      
   If the City Clerk of Toronto decides that the advanced polling date of Oct 10   
   cannot be met, she may cancel advanced polling.  If that happens and a whole   
   lot of people who will not be in the city on Oct 22 cannot vote, there are   
   gonna be some very big    
   lawsuits coming down the pike from people who have been deprived of another   
   Constitutional right: the right to vote [section 3].  Try beating that one,   
   Ford.   
      
   Two very interesting notes on the contents of Ford's latest Bill to get passed   
   in the Legislature:     
   _________________   
      
   456.1  (1)  Pursuant to subsection 33 (1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights   
   and Freedoms, the amendments to this Act made by Schedule 1 to the Efficient   
   Local Government Act, 2018 are declared to operate notwithstanding sections 2   
   and 7 to 15 of the    
   Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.   
      
   Human Rights Code   
      
   (3)  The amendments to this Act made by Schedule 1 to the Efficient Local   
   Government Act, 2018 apply despite the Human Rights Code.

   Wow.  Even trying to by-pass the Ontario Human Rights Code with this Bill.   
   Good luck with that bit of shit, Ford.   
      
   This looks slightly promising though:
