Straight outta chemo
Yeah, I find it VERY telling that there have been no pics of Rob since he went into the hospital. No thumbs up in a hospital bed, no glorious return home... This is a family that, if he was in ANY shape to be photographed, would have his picture plastered all over the sun (see: Rob in pool at football camp, I mean "rehab"). Something's up, and I think it's that he must be in really bad shape.
Yeah, where is the Wormington exclusive showing how great he is doing?
No don't know anuthing
Maple Leaf Square, a gathering place for sports fans, to be renamed Ford Square
Maple Leaf Square, the open area between the Air Canada Centre and the condominiums surrounding it, has become an impromptu gathering place for fans of the Maple Leafs and Raptors in Toronto, particularly over the past few playoff runs for the respective professional teams.
The space will now be renamed Ford Square, according to Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE), the firm that owns the teams and the property. The new name reflects a sponsorship deal between MLSE and the automaker.
The name has sparked an array of reactions.
- There is confusion with the Ford family — Doug Ford, Sr., the father of mayor Rob Ford and councillor and mayoral candidate brother Doug, Jr., has a park named after him in Toronto.
- There is anger because the square shared its name with the hockey franchise, and now has a name unrelated to the team.
- And there are questions as to why a company with already comfortable profit margins needs to make money off what has become a fan-created gathering place.
Say this isn't so. From this link:
Wouldn't it be confused with the Douglas B. Ford Park? Named after the Ford brothers' father.

This!
and this!
Fuck them and their request for privacy. We the citizens have been requesting civility and basic common decency for 4 years and getting Rob's middle finger in our face as a reply. He's running for office so he's fair game, as they say.

I agree. No media... Looks like a crass stunt. Very disappointing and a misstep.
Stunt? Probably was but Renata's attitude was pure Ford, belligerent or at very least dismissive..

What blows me over is that an election candidate, and frankly the front runner, somehow thinks they have the right to ask for privacy (and downright isolation in fact), and everyone seems to treat the request as reasonable.
Yes, he is sick, undergoing chemotherapy, and feels like crap. I'm all for cutting him slack and giving him his privacy, as a private citizen. As a politician seeking (re-)election? Not so much.
Yes, I'm heartless and unfeeling. Now pick up your toys and go home.
