It's going to be an interesting day. News broke early yesterday evening that New York-based news and gossip site Gawker had seen a video allegedly showing Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. The Toronto Star has also seen the recording in question and is corroborating many of the details. Rob Ford's office has yet to respond. Watch this space, folks.

The video is reportedly for sale to the highest bidder. A crowdfunding campaign has been launched in an attempt to acquire the tape at the centre of the scandal. The organizers say the money - currently just $141 - will be donated to CAMH if the purchase is unsuccessful. Does Toronto need to see the tape or is its alleged contents damaging enough?

Rob Ford is under investigation by the city over an alleged bylaw infraction usually associated with overly keen cleaners and takeout joints. During an important community council meeting in Etobicoke yesterday, the mayor took time to stick magnets containing his home phone number to cars in the lot. City staff say they're acting on a complaint. Licensing bylaw 545-313 prohibits leaving handbills on vehicles.

Badly-timed Toronto intersections that leave road users waiting on red for traffic that never comes are going to get a tweak. The changes will hopefully improve the flow of roads with a high number of intersections. City staff say Adelaide and Richmond streets have already benefited from fewer interruptions and lower emissions. More than 1,000 lights will get tweaked over the next three years.

Etobicoke York Community Council has recommended the refusal of the controversial Humbertown development. After hours of deputations in a rented church, local councillors decided the latest plan to turn the 1950s shopping centre into a mid-rise, mixed use cluster wasn't to the resident's liking. The proposal will now go to city council for a final decision.

Bizarrely, mayor Rob Ford, an Etobicoke councillor, spent part of the meeting attaching magnets containing his phone number to cars in the lot.

Sounds like there's some support for a city takeover of Toronto's struggling BIXI program. A new poll conducted by Forum Research found more than half Torontonians support the idea of the city taking on the struggling enterprise and possibly integrating it with the TTC. Only a third liked the idea of a subsidy, however. Can BIXI survive under Ford?

No denying it, that loss still stings. I doubt this is the first place you'll hear about it, and it pains me to type it, but the Leafs came within a whisker of eliminating the Boston Bruins last night. The Buds lead 4-1 in the third period, building a commanding lead after going a goal down early, but it wasn't to be. A late rally and a heartbreaking overtime goal put Toronto's season to bed with a thump. Ouch.

Back in the world, Toronto's favourite aerial photographer Cmdr. Chris Hadfield landed safely in a grassy field in Kazakhstan late yesterday evening. Hadfield spent five months aboard the International Space Station, singing songs, doing cool science experiments, and probably some actual science stuff too. Welcome home.

Another week, another poll suggesting Olivia Chow could take the Toronto mayor's seat in 2014. The latest study by Forum Research found Chow had 57% of the vote, down slightly from earlier in the year. The only way a campaign involving the NDP MP could fail, according to the stats, is if the opposition vote was split three ways. Chow still hasn't ruled out a run for mayor. Do you think she will decide soon?

Well, they did it. The Toronto Maple Leafs will play the Boston Bruins tonight in Game 7 thanks to their 2-1 series-tying win last night. Goalie James Reimer would have had a shutout if it wasn't for a late consolation goal for the visitors. Can the Buds come all the way back and take the series?

The long and winding road of Toronto transit took another sharp turn yesterday when a council debate about which taxes the city should recommend to the province descended into a heated debate about the merits of various subway projects. In the end, council voted not to express any preference and pass up its chance to provide valuable input.

The meeting was also marked by a lively exchange between councillor and TTC Chair Karen Stintz and Rob Ford, who appeared to be avoiding questions on how he might vote on taxes later in the meeting. "I support subways. You support LRTs. I do not support LRTs. You support streetcars. I do not support streetcars," he said. Here's the rest of the exchange.
