With Rob on the canvass, it's not too late for Mel Lastman to make a comeback. < I kid, I kid. >

Yes, I do suffer from a couple of addictions, please don't use stereotypes.
At first I believed that, they were just incompetent. But after his spa-hab I noticed a distinct positive news towards him. For example the weekend he returned at the Canada day East York parade where he was booed they reported that he had a "hero welcome" with tight shots of him and his supporters and completely ignoring the negative reaction. When twitter went crazy with videos of the negative reaction and other news outlets reporting it, CP4Ford changed their report to "mixed reaction". I think somebody in the news department is a Ford fan,or maybe enjoy the idea of promoting Ford.
Everyone gets a positive spin (well, except for maybe Mike Tyson). If you think they have a pro-Ford bias it's because they do - but they will do the same thing for the next mayor, regardless of political ideology.
I wouldn't be surprised if they devoted more time to Ford's illness than the mayoral campaign if/when he drops out. Even when this is all done and there is a new mayor, they will devote coverage to the Ford's.

One-on-one John Tory-Olivia Chow debate going forward tomorrow morning. Ontario Home Builders' Association. Royson James moderating.
Good, no pandering to Ford.
That's a pretty fair guess. Just saying that while UT is convinced that CP24 has a bromance going on with Rob, the frothing Fordites are equally convinced that CP24 has a hate-on for the Rexdale Messiah. Confirmation bias and all that.
I'm sure RoFo wouldn't have showed for that one anyway with James moderating. It would have been fun if he had though.

As bad of a Mayor as he was, I got the impression that he really loved the idea of being a big city mayor and wanted to represent everybody. Ford on the other hand also loves the idea of being a big city Mayor but is perfectly happy to skate by with p*ssing off 70% of the people if it means he can hold onto power of 30%.
I don't think it would be wrong to say that he drank and smoked his way into the hospital bed he's in now.
There's an argument that Modern English constitutes a creole due to its extended contact with Latin and Norman French (a pidgin is a language created by people for whom it is not a native language; once the first generation of native speakers exists, it becomes a creole). English was once much closer to its West Germanic siblings.
Sorry to hear about the funerals; my condolences.
