My hunch is Ford did go to rehab but quit (as many addicts do) and rather than come back to Toronto he's staying at a resort to continue the narrative that he's in rehab.

That was actually my thought as well (Windermere House), I just wanted to know how "loose" some of these rehabs are.

What's stopping Ford from just claiming that the photos were taken at an earlier date and were just posted now?

The large amount of photos that were all posted by different people on the same day?

Thanks! I've been following this thread for a while and finally decided to take the plunge. BTW I'm an addiction medicine physician and also a cocaine/crack addict in long-term recovery, so I'm *very* familiar with addiction, rehab etc. If anyone has any questions I'll be more than happy to share my perspective.

I've got a question. Well, lots of them, actually, but I'll start with two: Is it common for patients in residential programs to spend as much time away from the facility as Rob appears to be doing? I know nothing but about treatment, but I can see how field trips might be useful in helping patients get used to being sober outside a structured environment. That said, Rob's pattern seems kind of odd. What are you thoughts? Also, I'm bothered by the fact he continues to pose for photos. He's continuing with his old attention-seeking behaviour, which suggests to me he's not very far along his therapy. Again, I'm just guessing at stuff, but what does it look like to you?

What is the protocol for drug testing of City Employees returning from city-funded substance use treatment? I know that some companies and professional colleges require that you submit to regular random testing as a condition of returning to work.

Where is casita when he can be useful?

Ok this was quick and dirty, hopefully will work:

The source of the photos?

We need to confirm how long he's been there and if he's still there.

But remember, this is Ford we're talking about. "I was up there a while ago for a family event and I went to the Windermere House for lunch. I take photos with thousands of people. I can't control who posts what on the internet."

It's either that or "I went to the Windermere House as part of a daily excursion from Greenestone."

Random citizens are meaningless and worthless to Ford. We all know that. The only way this story gets any legs is if someone from Windermere House says that he's been staying there.

Nothing, he has attempted to sidestep social media before. Doggie has gone as far as accusing people of trying to be "investigative reporters".

There is a wide variety of treatment options with different protocols out there. Greenestone is definetely pretty loosy-goosey. For example, it's the only rehab I'm aware of that lets you have a cell phone. I also know that they let their clients go away overnight without supervision.

Being 45 minutes away regularly on weekdays during the day is fishy.

As for bananas and toilet paper, Rob may have been allowed to assist staff on an outing grocery shopping, that's the only non-nefarious possibility.

Ford has shown no issue with calling citizens liars before. He'll do it again.

These shots are from the Windermere House, taken days ago (June 14). Check out the virtual tour here: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.164...e1!3m3!1slRlxt7OT2Z8AAAQJOMiX4Q!2e0!3e2?hl=en

Posing in front of a BAR while supposedly in rehab. Brilliant.

Also, someone needs to make a "I spent $100,000 on rehab and they didn't even have toilet paper" meme with that photo from last week.

The thing is that at this point, I don't think many people will believe the lies.

I doubt that he'd actually be staying at the resort when the FoFam cottage is so close and he's out buying food and TP and such. More likely he is staying at the cottage but getting bored just sitting around in between conjugal visits with McRobb, and heads off to the Windemere to find entertainment -- hanging out with people half his age who will take selfies with him, as usual.

To be clear, I agree completely. I just keep up the frivolous hope that he'll be caught out in a lie on camera and he'll break down. I know it will never happen, but still.

I've been bouncing in and out of the thread, but has anyone brought up the idea that Douggie will hire a few Sober Coaches to stay with Rob 24/7 to keep him out of trouble until the election? After spending 50 grand or more on fake-hab, you'd think Doug would want to protect the investment.
