That's true but unless it's an actual secure facility with locked doors and people who have the legal right to restrain you, there is nothing they can do if you walk out except call the cops and even then it may well be another trip to court to enforce it.

The Sun story stinks to me. Why would Homewood say *anything* about who is or isn't at their facility? Patient confidentiality means you don't confirm OR deny anything. So either someone at Homewood screwed up OR he really isn't there and they don't want to deal with all the crap that comes...

On a side note, refusal of entry to the US is the definitive end of Robbie's political career. A moment of silence please.

Sadly, that ship has sailed. What team would have him at this point?

I'm a huge skeptic about the more outlandish tales but I think there's something to this... 1. RoFo clearly has easy access to drugs via Kathy, Sandro and (previously) the Basso household, plus (probably) other contacts including tow truck and limo drivers 2. He's on tape offering to attempt...

My question is: why does Lisi put up with getting beaten? What is he getting out of it? Or what do the Fords have over him?

One of the first rules of live events is that a small room packed always feels better than a big room half full, even if there are 50 people in the first and 500 in the second. You ALWAYS size an event to sell out if you have the freedom. Always.

I think the football thing could be as simple as them concluding that he was not a morally appropriate person to coach a high school football team. That's a fantastic line for his opponents -- "not appropriate for a football team -- but Mayor of Toronto? Fine"

Because IOKIYARF* *It's Okay If You Are Rob Ford

Yep, that's Jerry.

Well, whether he likes it or not, he's learning the ropes of journalism as he goes along. Don't publish without two independent sources, don't speculate, try for a neutral POV and so on. It's always the same thing when citizen journalists (which I encourage) start up. Hard knocks etc.

What is the implication of the 'burnt rubber' smell. Is it indicative of anything in particular (sorry if that's a naive question)?

Because fuck you that's why.

Well I guess we know who 'Juiceman' is now, anyway...

You mean you seriously don't understand how local people and businesses earning money has broader benefits? I'm not sure I can help you.

You're kidding, right? The production spend of movies and TV shows that shoot in T.O. is enormous. Your average 60 min cable TV show costs $2-3m, of which probably 50% is spent on location. I have friends who are writers, sound recordists, cinematographers, location managers, producers...

Please tell me that was deliberate.

Smote? Smitten?

If you don't think Rob Ford = Canada to most of the rest of the world you've not been watching TV.

Weak. Try harder.
