Toronto Star
Brash political star vs. ‘intoxicated’ cyclist.
In seconds, Yorkville road rage escalated into death and disgrace
ONTARIO - Following his release from police custody yesterday, an unshaven, tired-looking Michael Bryant made the following statement to media:
"I’m making a statement today on last night’s tragic events. At an appropriate moment, I will of course speak to you. I would however like to extend my deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Sheppard. To all those who have offered support to my family over the past 12 hours, thank you. I ask that the media continue to respect my family’s need for distance and privacy for the next few days. “
Thank you."
Less than an hour before his path would fatally cross that of former Ontario attorney general Michael Bryant, Darcy Allan Sheppard was sitting in the back of a police cruiser.
“Friend Bernie Finkelstein, founder of True North Records, pointed out that Bryant had purchased a sleek black Saab convertible. "He’s just jealous because I got it for $5,000 and he’s waiting for it to fall apart," said Bryant.”

Why am I posting this stuff. I didn’t know them. But my heart is with all of them. Including the dead biker and his family. The brotherhood of bike couriers. I ride a bike down here In Tarpon Springs. I lived in Victoria B.C. and I had the pleasure of the charmed life longer than Michael. Then I got Cancer and did not die. My first wife was a Metis, my second a cbc talking head whom the camera still loves. But enough about me. It’s Michael’s turn.

@bryantfacts Who needs PR, lawyers and spin, when you’ve got it all on camera http://bit.ly/XlVW2 #bikeTO8:39 AM Sep 9th from web
begs the question – are million$ going to be spent spinning or will Bryant do the right thing – and having done so – leave Toronto the Good and go farming or something very different – a new life – home school and sailing.
