Before anyone get all empathetic and think that illness is beyond the realm of milking - recall magnets at funeral.

Regardless of the outcome in all of this for RoFo I believe the family is in the process of "jumping the shark". It is over.

All tinfoil hat:
I've personally had a speculation that Olivia would drop out. What if the Fords caught wind that Olivia would drop out, leaving zero left wing representation, and thus no-one remaining to split the vote three ways, likely giving Tory a much bigger potential lead? The threat of Ford leaving might convince Olivia to stay in, and continue to split the vote, especially considering the only major candidate the left might agree on (Soks) just dropped out.
I don't doubt he has a tumour. But I also think he sat on his health issues in hopes of getting past the election. I also think he's selfish enough to stay in the race, regardless and health be damned(though Ford Nation will of course, consider this selflessness for the taxpayer). It feeds the tenacity that FN loves, and feeds his ego.
That said, it's just a what if. I stand by my earlier post that it's the end of the Ford political era.

Good idea. Chow and/or Tory magnets at Rob's funeral?

Anyone dare to photoshop a Ford Mayor casket?

Too soon?
Edit: The moment the FoFam are seen exploiting this situation will be the moment this "joke" can be discussed. Hopefully the joke can be suspended indefinitely - but with this family you are never out of the woods, er park, er crack house...

I think Tory would respectfully decline the endorsement.

What I said really isn't about idealizing his physical demise - but to put a stake in the heart on the notion that capitalizing illness (and other taboos) for gain is beyond them. It is not. Furthermore, their supporters willingness to overlook these acts of grade A taboos makes their lecturing of ethics and morality problematical at best.

IHTWOMRF would have an aneurism.
Or just completely act like that was the plan all along.

Well, they certainly can't complain if Tory hands out magnets at his funeral.

Is that headline for real?
Torontos Skandalbürgermeister mit Tumor in Klinik
It sounds like the "German" Benny Hill used to speak on his old show.

Whatever the tumour diagnosis, Rob is still more likely to pop his clogs thro heart or vascular mishap.

It seems once again we're faced with a situation that looks sketchy from a number of angles but skates on plausible deniability (the mysterious missing toe injury, the Humber fundraiser, the hospital CEO's involvement and anti-Tory connections), that looks like another ploy to milk for any and all advantage (the nick-of-time timing, the press conference called to announce a non-diagnosis and demand privacy).
If we the public are supposed to be respectful and sympathetic at this time, it would be nice if FOR ONCE the Fords appeared to be conducting themselves with honesty and dignity.
