What a day... three suspended senators and a mayor who admits to smoking crack cocaine. No one can say the news in Canada isn't interesting.
As I'm sure you've all heard, Toronto mayor Rob Ford admitted to smoking crack cocaine "in a drunken stupor" probably about a year ago. For six months, he denied he had ever used the drug. Why did he fess up yesterday?
And while most of Ontario was watching evening newscasts largely dedicated to Ford, the senate voted to suspend, without pay but benefits intact, three senators facing allegations of fraud for the remainder of the term. Only Pamela Wallin spoke to media after the vote, saying it is a sad day for democracy. Keep in mind none of the senators, Wallin, Mike Duffy or Patrick Brazeau, have been convicted of anything.
What will today have in store? No one knows.

No public transit issues to report on HSR or GO Transit this morning.
At 8:30 a.m., the on-ramp to the QEW from the 403 westbound is blocked after a collision. There is also a collision in the left shoulder 403 westbound east of Upper Middle.
If you're QEW Ford Erie-bound this morning, both ramps at Glendale are closed after a tractor trailer roll-over.
West 5th is moving slowly down the access to the lower city at 8:30 a.m. James is also slow from the bottom of that access to King Street. The Jolley Cut and down John Street into the lower city is also moving slowly for your commute. Upper Wellington and Upper James are slow as well.
Here's a map of ongoing construction around the city that might slow down your morning commute.

Another warm November morning. 8 C for your walk to work today and a calm, sunny morning. But don't let that fool you! Grab that umbrella, as silly as it might feel to carry an umbrella when the morning is this gorgeous.
We could have rain by the day's end. A low of 3 C tonight and rain until midnight.
Here's what Thursday has in store: a temperature drop. Back to single digits tomorrow with a projected high of 7 C.
Well, we may not have a senate or mayoral scandal, but stuff happens in Hamilton, too.
New research from the Social Planning and Research Council shows Hamilton pedestrians and cyclists are at a greater risk of getting hit on the roads than the provincial average, and Hamilton has the highest rate of pedestrian death in the province.
