Oh. Didn't notice that! Good point.

The original press conference said Ford would be re-evaluated after two rounds of chemo. But then Doug piped up with this just a few days ago, suggesting Rob has more chemo in store: Of course this is from Doug Ford, so who the fuck knows what's true...

Agreed. Can't find any other mention of it aside from the one tweet. Meanwhile, this was posted tonight: http://iconosquare.com/p/840115342475768169_437407027

Oh right! Something about Renata going there...possibly for substance abuse issues? Rings a bell from this thread, but possibly thousands of pages ago...

Accepting donations from the Ford family??

Yeah, I've wondered if it has to do with being listed. As far as I'm aware, cell phones aren't listed, or at least not automatically like they did with landlines (where you had to opt out of being listed). But I'm no expert....maybe someone else here knows more. All's I know is it's all pretty...

I agree casita. The "real" seems to come from the Fords' gruff manner of speaking, full of common sayings, and not a lot of polish. They are upper middle class trust fund babies who sound like working class everymen.

True, but that doesn't mean cell phones aren't a factor in polling results. Not everyone who moved from a landline ported the number over to a cellphone, which according to this board at least, seems to be the circumstance that results in calls from polling companies like Forum. A few things...

Unless the shooter on the lam is rumoured to be Rob Ford or one of his family members, I'm not sure what the relevance to this thread is.

Even if council doesn't shift more to the left, it will be interesting to see how the next term rolls out. When the term began in 2010, it seemed many felt the need to go along with the mayor's agenda based on a sense of mandate from the election. That's how you ended up with people like...

Referring to the possibility that Ford was in business with Lisi and not just a run of the mill user, if it received a bit of shrug in the thread this time, it's perhaps because that ground has been covered quite a few times here since the first ITO was released. For the keeners of UT, many of...

Link?

Looks like one brave soul is willing to take on Rob Ford's defiance of the Municipal Elections Act. It is ridiculous that enforcement is left to private citizens. Here's your chance to contribute to the cost of a lawyer: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/teach-rob-ford-a-lesson

Love this! These have been great.

Exactly - run of the mill newswire-type stories. Not the breathless, hovering outside the hospital kind of coverage as the first round, and nothing like the zoo at City Hall that had become commonplace.

I think you're right on both counts pattycakes. Compared to Rob's first trip to hospital, his second was barely noted. There were no flashing cameras when he arrived, and none when he left. He's barely had any attention, including the selfie-loving public "adoration" of which he is so fond...

Strange line of argument since Rob Ford lives in Ward 4.

What are you suggesting? That Tory's racism and sexism is better because it's less overt and hostile than Ford's? That Tory's refusal to grasp or acknowledge systemic inequality is somehow preferable for women and minorities?? Btw, there is no need to go "back 20 years for dirt" on Tory. In...

"My advice for young women who want to get ahead in their careers is to learn to play golf. Of course you won't be able to play WITH me or my business friends, at least not at my private golf club, so it won't advance your career with US. But if you want access to the work-friendly men's only...
