I haven't posted in a long time but have read just about every post. Just watched this clip of Don Peat's where he watches Ford clean his office (?) and then they discuss Jim Flaherty:

Like all-things Ford, it is so odd but what stuck me is how SAD it is. Is he removing his belonings? eg., he's carrying around a football jersey?
Why would he be at all "sad" if someone chose to leave their job for the private sector? Why wouldn't he be happy for him?
The mention by RF of JF's illness as a possible reason seems like such huge deflection--isn't that a way old issue, and didn't he have a skin condition? Wouldn't he know the reason for resigning and/or JF's health status, if they were so close? Would a federal cabinet minister from Toronto, even not being friends, potentially inform a the mayor of Toronto of their plan to resign?
They haven't talked, he says, yet his whole family has already had a huddle about it??
ps. All of these is coloured by MetroMan's suggestion that JF may be in the ITO (coming out tomorrow).
