Rob Ford Discussion Thread

[Patty Smyth]

So the OPP believe ford was the victim of a blackmail attempt and Toronto police believe ford attempted blackmail. And the OPP will decide if charges are laid.............

It's proving to be quiet a long investigation. I wonder if charges will be laid before the election.

Here they suspended the investigation of our sitting premiere until after the election because it's "alleged" her and her spouse are in it up to their eyeballs.

Oh boy another alleged video of him doing drugs has emerged

He is taking a leave of absence from the campaign.

Well, at least he's seeking help for his substance abuse.

I guess he finally hit his rock bottom. I wish him the best in recovery.

[heartgirl99]

finally!

i'm glad he's finally reaching out for the help he needs.
wishing him the best of luck and a success with his rehab.

I think the last thing anyone wants is for him to turn up dead so hopefully this is his "rock bottom" and he can only go up from here.

Glad he is going to get any help he needs, and he can be back in plenty of time to campaign for the election.

How generous that a drug dealer is willing to sell the alleged video.

I just about fell off my chair hearing this last night! Finally!! Yes get help. I liked what an addiction specialist said on one of the channels, he said getting him off the alcohol, the crack, the food , whatever, THEY are just symptoms of his bigger need for help dealing with his emotions. Rob is passionate, no one is a bigger fighter than him, so these are strengths he can use to help himself out of this spiral.
Did anyone catch Kathryn Humphries on the Sports part of City News? I love her, and her segment on the update of the NHL 7th game thing was cut, and she was so cute about saying " fine, I know the news comes first! " she was talking about how Rob's story took priority ( again! lol)

(....as long as he's not saying, "Bottoms Up!" )

There is also an audio recording of him making more lewd comments, this time directed at mayoral candidate Karen Stinz. I'm glad that he is going to get the help that he so obviously needs. I only hope that he takes this seriously and that it isn't just an attempt to save face and also that his family actually support him on this and stop enabling him or making excuses from him.

An interesting look at the numbers. Lies once again. Is there a politician on the planet that can be trusted?

Smoke and mirrors.

disliked rob ford for years,

how can anyone suggest that aids funding shouldn't
happen because the only way one gets aids is from
needles or being gay? and so not us

and this was years before the more normal rob ford crap.
however like a lot of people, i worry about his health

in a lot of ways,,, and hoping for the best for him
and his family - not so much for his friends.
