The papers were released at around 10:00 a.m. and suggest that Lisi, though a high-profile arrest, was not the intended target of Project Brazen 2, a spin-off of Operation Traveller, a major drug investigation by Toronto police. The target, documents suggest, was the mayor himself.
The papers, which are heavily redacted in places, record 349 phone calls and several meetings between Lisi and Ford, at least one of which involved the exchange of a manila envelope.
Police also appear to have searched Ford's garbage after encounters with Lisi and turned up empty vodka bottles. It also appears Lisi may have been aware of a police presence as he was seen turning and making erratic changes of course, according to the documents.
A crowd of media was gathered outside the mayor's home this morning. Ford shoved a Toronto Sun photographer as he left his house but did not comment on the police file.
Sandro Lisi was arrested with Etobicoke dry cleaner Jamshid Bahrami on Oct. 1. charged with marijuana trafficking, possession of the proceeds of crime, possession of marijuana and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. He was released on $5,000 bail. Both are due back in court Nov. 12.
Although the information contained in the documents released this morning has been sworn before a judge, nothing has been proven in court.
Police chief Bill Blair is due to speak at 11:30 a.m.
More to come.

Despite the icky registers that eat bugs likely has for most people, there's actually a burgeoning movement to increase the consumption of insects on account of their status as a sustainable food source. And while insects are far from a staple in Western diets, entomophagy is common throughout the world. There's even energy bars made with crickets. As to how crickets pair with beer, I can offer no impressions or words of comfort. But I know I'd dig in just for the hell of it.
Tickets are still available for tonight's event, and will be sold for $40 at the door should space remain.

As a one bedroom plus den, this this united is geared toward the young professional (or young professional couple) who have yet to enter into the wonderful world of child rearing. While the living, dining and den areas are part of the new building, the main bedroom (it's not fair to call it a master) is located in the remaining heritage portion of the project, which will surely appeal to buyers motivated by a desire to own something that deviates from the tens of thousands of units spread across the city that, quite frankly, look alike. The cost of this cachet is, however, that your sleeping area is on the small side.
Area-wise, Queen and Carlaw leaves little to desire with the exception of subway proximity. The site of numerous developments over the last decade or so, this stretch of Queen benefits from the gradual gentrification of both Riversise and Leslieville, a process which means that you'll never be short on brunch options or watering holes.
You know the space doesn't comfortably accommodate more than two, but other drawbacks to be taken into consideration include the near featureless main bathroom and the relative lack of space in the bedroom. If you're keen on the idea of occupying a heritage structure, this is the inevitable price to pay, but the pay-off isn't exactly profound either. How much is a bit of exposed brick worth to you?

BIXI has said it needs to add at least 2,000 more bikes in Toronto in order to remain financially viable. The system currently has 1,000 bikes spread between 80 stations, mostly in the centre of the city. 4,600 people are currently registered.
Councillors have been floated several ideas, including integrating the bike share program into the TTC or allowing developers to install stations instead of parking spots, to keep the company solvent.
Minnan-Wong says he is unhappy BIXI "changed the terms" of a private deal recently arranged with the city but didn't offer any more details. "The city is trying to save BIXI. We're not sure it is possible to save BIXI," he said outside yesterday's executive committee meeting. "We're going to continue to negotiate. The clock is ticking."
Do you think the city is really interested in saving BIXI? Do you believe expanding the program could help it become a viable means of transportation? Does it matter if BIXI fails?
