I wonder if the ambulance had trouble getting there, considering how it was branded as a death trap that would prevent first responder access.

I'm sure you said that in jest, AoD. But, here is the official statement for anyone with doubts about "The St. Clair Disaster".

"Fire Chief says St. Clair Avenue West right-of-way safe for fire trucks"

As we saw yesterday, they managed to get ten ( ! ) fire trucks on scene. Not counting police and paramedics.

It's interesting that he referred to driving behind a streetcar, which you can't (shouldn't) do on St Clair, but the bigger question is if he feels okay for only an hour here or there, why is he out of the house and driving around for at least an hour at a time? I understand that it's hard to keep him from roaming around, and pictures of him around town will start to surface until the next round of chemo, but he's probably not doing his health any favours.

The first thing he should be doing with those hours is spending time with his kids, repairing that relationship (if all is at it appears.) But if he's going to be up and out and around, shouldn't he be putting in some effort towards his ward 2 camping? If I was a resident of Ward 2, I'd not be very impressed with a candidate that feels he doesn't need to work (AT ALL) for my vote. I might be inclined to give him a pass for not camping if he were actually at home recovering, but out grabbing DQ & posing for fan pics with a dead woman just out of frame, is exactly not that.
 
I bet even if Doug loses and Rob wins his old council seat he'll continue acting as if he was mayor. The phone calls to Byford and the city manager for even the smallest of issues will continue!

Kinda late - but can the City Hall protocol office exclude him from participating at funerals? He clearly has no idea how to behave properly in the face of death.

I'm surprised Rob didn't hand out fridge magnets yesterday--I'm sure they were in his vehicle.

Don't forget calls to his buddy Stevie (at least until the fed. election)

As for Rob acting like mayor when he isn't, that wouldn't surprise me at all. He sure didn't look like he was dying yesterday...

they'd vote for a dead rofo, so camping won't matter

He is ( presumably ) still being paid at mayor pay grade. Doesn't hurt to have Joe send someone around to photograph him sitting in his office.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation will grant a "batkid" type day for Rob. He wanders around Toronto in a specially equipped Escalade, while the entire city cheers him on, wearing his chain of office and tending to accident victims... (in a special ceremony at CH the chief of police congratulates him for saving the city)

I know you were being sarcastic. It's just that Rob keeps going on about the St Clair Disaster, that some readers may actually believe him.

It sounds like he actually kept his distance and let firefighters and paramedics do their jobs. The last thing they would need was MINO breathing down their necks.
