  As I have mentioned a short while ago, IFP is under attack from Disqus. The Admin Team at Disqus is now monitoring this site and routinely deleting comments they find "offensive". It really has nothing to with ToS, we are being targetted. I have built a back-up site to IFP and have the commenting engine already lined up. To implement the new commenting engine into the new site, I will require a "business account" with the platform that would host the new site.

Tory’s lawyer came clean to the Star on his client’s behalf. With 25 minutes’ notice, Tory called an 8:30 p.m. press conference, where he apologized “unreservedly” to the people of Toronto and announced his resignation.

“I believe I did some good for the city,” Tory said. He took no questions.
