Rob Ford Discussion Thread

He will probably run in the next Federal election.

They reported about him in Rehab......That's illegal. Nothing to debate there. that violates confidentiality agreements and the star is a party to that as a result. So either this was illegally obtained or is false. One of the two

i think that says it all.

There are people who support gay rights who cant and wont support pride because of some of the activity there, Don't forget Ford appeared at other Gay rights events over the years

People talking off the record has been happening since the start of the 4th estate..It's not illegal per se..Not for the other patient..there is no breach of professional misconduct there.

The fact the police were called should be a matter of public record should you wish to wait of the FOIA . The fact that Ms McRobb, a former resident of Greenestone, was found drunk driving Mr Ford's Escalade is another mater of the public record.

Except they talked to a staffer there which violates confidentiality agreements and is thus illegal

I never said there wasn't a problem for one or more staff members..I was talking about anoither patient/resident and not Ms McRobb..

[heartgirl99]

i just wish he would go away

[gryphon]

I think it's just a sign that no one has any respect for Rob Ford anymore, whatever his "rights".

So that means breaking the Law is okay?

Except Patients are also bound by confidentiality to protect other patients. This was illegal. There is no way to deny that

Ford is such a strong supporter of gay, trans, queer etc. rights that he is the only one to vote against (37 in favour) a proposal to ask the city's shelters chief to look into the "feasibility of allocating 25 percent of shelter beds to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer/Questioning, and Two-Spirited (LGBTQ2S) youth in an existing youth shelter facility." [Full proposal here: http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgen...em=2014.CD30.8].

Sometimes people act like idiots when they are going through withdrawal, problem with him is he acts like an idiot a lot.

What he did at rehab, the bullying etc. that's his personality, drunk or in withdrawal. He is a total idiot.

As with all bullies(Both brothers) they need someone to put them down. Someone needs to be strong enough and have the backup to get rid of them. Bullies always end up cowering in the face of stronger people.

These guys are just a couple of drunken bar brawlers who somehow bullied their way into power.

Anyone accused of betraying confidentiality could argue that they acted in the public interest, because Ford is a public figure (who admitted to drinking on his publicly funded job), and it is in the public interest to know what he is up to. So, in fact, the whistleblowers would not, and could not, face any charges. The law is written to protect people who speak up in these situations.

except he was on a leave of absence so whistleblower laws would likely not cover them
