You could ask her. Her tweet with the court date in it would be some time before the date to which the search feature on Twitter extends. (I recall a tweet from her saying what the date in April is, but don't remember the date. That tweet was some time between Oct. and Dec. last year.)

I got curious about how quickly we learned about Robbie's cancer when it was first announced, and so did a little digging.

On Thursday, September 11, 2014 we learned around 2:00 that Ford had been transferred from Humber Memorial to Mt. Sinai.

By 7:00 that evening, Dr. Zane Cohen gave his first press conference. By that point they had performed a CT scan and conducted a biopsy (presumably using the immediate results of the scan). Dr. Cohen informed us that Ford would be having an MRI the next day, and that the results of the biopsy would take a week.

We didn't hear again from Dr. Cohen until Wednesday, September 17 when we learned that the first biopsy had proved inconclusive and so Ford had undergone a second that Monday; the MRI had revealed a second tumour; and that the second biopsy had proved the tumours were cancerous. He also said that Ford and his family had learned the news in the last 72 hours, which technically means they could've known as early as Monday, after the biopsy.

Conclusions?

Yes. He has cancer.

whatthe, is there a reason why a trial would occur one week and then be put on hold until a month later. Is that standard practice?

Yeah, unfortunately it is. The courts are extremely understaffed and there aren't nearly enough judges - so it's next to impossible to get more than a few days in a row in front of the same judge. If you wanted to schedule the trial for a year or more farther away you could probably get 2 weeks in a row, but in order to get a faster (relatively speaking) date, you often have to break it up into shorter chunks.

Wow, interesting. Thank you!

I thought the same thing. I wasn't getting any spidey sense from the timeline.

None, really.

Except that I was surprised to learn how quickly things went when Ford was first admitted in September and how slowly things seem to be moving now.

What I was really hoping to learn was the normal delay between having an MRI and receiving the news from your doctor.

But Council is meeting tomorrow and Wednesday, so lots of opportunity for a dramatic scrum.

Beyond that, I call bullshit.

Not bullshit on the cancer, mind you; just bullshit on all the manipulative drama.

Ahhh gotcha. I think him being a councilor as opposed to mayor could have slowed the pace a bit. But you have a point . Also liars lie.
