Have to wonder how this info could be released through the nurses.

Prob a nurse unrelated to Ford's care. "Oh, you just saw Ford get loaded into a stretcher? Guess he's headed downtown"

For some reason I thought he was less than 10 years older than Rob is now, which isn't that much at all.
ETA: I realise my post could to be taken to seem like I was questioning Casita here - not at all, I was just expressing my surprise, for some reason I thought Doug sr had died in his early 50s.
You are not alone. So did I.
I guess he reminded me a little bit of LaGuardia.
Still unprofessional. Normally hospital staff do not comment on patients, except to immediate family.Prob a nurse unrelated to Ford's care. "Oh, you just saw Ford get loaded into a stretcher? Guess he's headed downtown"
Or unless you were a kid watching Rankin/Bass Christmas specials in the early 70s and found the name Burgermeister Meisterburger funny.And unless you're familiar with the term 'burgomaster' as an archaic word for 'mayor' (which comes from French and ultimately Latin), you probably wouldn't guess that a Bürgermeister is the master of all citizens (Bürger <- Burg = settlement, fortress).
Exactly. I still use my car, but I love the TTC. Can't stand the aggravation of driving and parking in this city anymore. I also like to treat myself to a taxi sometimes. There's a Zip car station across the street, and I am thinking of joining that.
Transit is one of the things I like about visiting Europe.
I agree, majority will not vote.
Had a conversation with someone the other day. Two men where fixing something in her house, and the conversation turned to Ford. One guy (POC) says Ford's racist remarks are not an issue, will vote for him because he's "ghetto". The other guy says he will vote for him because he's an "average" guy. Both won't vote for Olivia because she's a woman who doesn't speak English.
I think the comments about Olivia disturb me the most. Welcome to Toronto in 2014. If anything, Ford has shown us what we're partly made up of, and it ain't pretty.
If Doug Ford does decide to run, does that mean all the fundraising earned for Ford will not be accessible to him?
That is a great question I don't know the answer to. I believe you're right - he wouldn't be able to seize that fundraising. But I'll check.
"Can psychological stress cause cancer?
Although stress can cause a number of physical health problems, the evidence that it can cause cancer is weak."

He was 73. If Doug Sr. had been in his early 50s when he died, then he'd be about 60 today, having fathered all four kids by 15. No wonder he went down in defeat to Marilyn Bell - those darned kids wore him out.
I guess they won't get out to vote for Mikey either then... I'm okay with that.
I'm so glad I'm not alone in feeling this way! I was saying this as my number one reason to not vote for him in the last election, and people gave me weird looks.
And comments about Olivia's English are really puzzling and irritating. They seem to come half from people who have issues with any kind of accent but their own and half from people whose English is actually demonstrably worse (ungrammatical, malapropistic) than hers.
From now on I'm calling Rub KrackSkandalbürgermeister.
