it s with this group of individuals who were trying to sell the video to the media for $100,000. they approached gawker in the states as well and their editor, john cook, has also seen the video and described very similar accounts as kevin and i. and yes, they certainly told us that they had made a copy. it s not clear if they have made a copy. it may just be on that one iphone. well, that s a really valuable iphone if they have not made a copy. my question to you, what is going on in the reaction to this in toronto? we are watching this in the u.s. i will admit unaccustomed to spending a lot of time of covering the politics of your great metro area, which toronto is a fantastic city. how are people taking this in toronto and in canada at large? it s a crazy story. i don t know how else to say is other than everyone s mind is kind of blown. rob ford has been a very colorful character as long as he s been in public life which is a little over a decade.
