Regarding the "Doug Ford" pin on the heckler's lapel -- the only button I can see in the footage says "Ted Opitz".

Credit for time served can be weighted. Based on your numbers I would guess that he was given 1.5 x his actual time served, so 8 years less 3 yrs and 1.5 months?

I feel as if I am confused about the timeline. Did Rob go to rehab before or after this alleged poll that showed Doug was more likely to win? Did it propel him to go drinking in public which led to bad press which led to rehab? Or was he already in rehab and when he heard about the poll he vowed...

I am quite baffled by the claim that after posing for the photo in his hospital bed, Robbie "then stood and walked with hospital staff to the operating room." When I had minor surgery (albeit years ago), they wheeled me to the operating room (and told me not to raise my head, since they had...

What was he reading?

I don't think it's the facts that trouble him. I think the most important thing to Rob is to avoid punishment. He does whatever occurs to him at the immediate moment that seems like it will avoid or defer the punishment. But if there's no threat of punishment right in front of him he can't help...

What if he's even sicker (or worse) by September? We've been waiting for what seems like forever to see Robbie face terrestrial judgement -- September seems very far away and it's frustrating to see the can get kicked down the road. I wonder if the judges who granted his appeal on the...

The study does specify emergency surgeries. This is scheduled surgery, which may make a difference. I have no idea what kind of prep advice Robbie's doctors might have given him (or if he will have taken any of it that has to do with diet and nutrition, especially if radiation suppressed...

Does hotmail lawyer's e-mail address age him?

Didn't they already learn that from Doug's tenure while Rob was mayor?

I have no words.

Because it's all about who you know, not whether you bother to obey laws or anything. Got it.

It's been a long time since I have bid on any eBay auction, but the way it used to work at least is that you can submit your maximum bid but it shows as only the minimum you would have to pay to win. So if Person A bids $1000 but the minimum required to win the auction is only $100, the bid will...

I just had incredible difficulty imagining RoFo as Marley to Dofo's Scrooge. Thanks for putting the thought in my head.

As long as the gift isn't offensive, I am willing to cut the twin Fordmayor some slack on this. If Doug hadn't made us hate him for a million other reasons I doubt it would seem upsetting.

It probably doesn't matter. I mean, the ability to convert is to ensure that you have coverage after you leave the job. Since he still has the job he still has the group coverage. What about short-term disability and long-term disability? I don't believe that he ran for council merely in order...

I don't know whether the city policy allows it in this case and in any case Rob has clung to his job with all his might, so would the situation even apply?

I assume you mean that city council includes a certain amount of term life insurance that elected members are entitled to without proof of insurability, which is presumably some kind of group policy. The article is talking about normally underwritten insurance. In fact I am a bit surprised by...

Except 2010 John Tory, of course. I had forgotten about Doug's announcement so when I recently saw a commercial which ominously informed me that in 2010 John Tory had endorsed Doug Ford I wondered whether it was an official Chow ad or a third party. I was quite surprised to find out it was an...

It's only electioneering if both the mayor and the city benefit?
