When life sends you soybeans, make soy milk.
Goes great with a bowl of Count Chocula cereal too.

Imagine if it had said "brazen 3".

Well, it could all be Goldsbie's fault. I've got his twitter feed in an open window today. Same with Alyshah Hasham from the Star. She's not commenting on the process as much as Goldsbie, but her coverage isn't changing my overall impression.

I don't think so. This is perfectly normal for a case involving lengthy undercover investigations. The main UC is often on the stand for days or more. Some do like to talk more than others, but its not unusual.

TORONTO - Cancer surgery may be just over a month away, Councillor Rob Ford said Wednesday.
Doctors told the former mayor earlier this week that they think they can operate on the tumour in his abdomen, Ford said.
“It is all tentative now,” he said. “They think they can (operate). That’s really good news.”
A CAT scan is scheduled for Thursday and an MRI for the end of April, with surgery tentatively scheduled for May 7, he said.
While Ford cautioned that his doctors won’t make the final call until after the MRI, he was optimistic about his health given how he responded to the months of cancer treatment.
“I took the radiation well and I took the chemo well,” Ford said at City Hall. “They were very shocked at how good I took it.”
Doctors have warned him it will take several months to recover if they end up operating, he said.
“I’m going to be on the shelf, they said, for at least four months,” Ford said.
The Etobicoke North (Ward 2) councillor has been battling cancer since last September. He dropped out of the mayor’s race just days after he was diagnosed and ran for his old council seat instead, while his brother, Doug Ford, went on to run unsuccessfully for mayor.
Earlier this week, Mayor John Tory made it clear he won’t attend a fundraiser for the Fords’ campaigns due to the attack ads aimed at him by Doug Ford’s mayoral campaign.
Rob Ford shrugged off the mayor’s snub.
“If John doesn’t want to come, that’s up to him,” Ford said. “We’re having a huge event though, ticket sales are going great.”
But he said Tory’s public refusal to attend has “absolutely” helped them advertise the event.
“You know what, John, he just keeps saying, ‘No, he’s not coming.’ That’s more tickets for us,” Ford said. “We still want John to come but the more he says no, I just want to remind people it is May 14.”
Meh indeed...
ETA:
No, that's not what was said...
Yep.

I had to work at it a bit. Perhaps the weenie Graeme (the man behind the curtain) is getting tired from all of that shouting into the speaking tube and pulling levers.

The Sun uses the term "operable" in its headline, but I wonder what that means. As JGHali has pointed out in the past, there a different kinds of cancer surgery. Obviously, the goal is to remove the tumor completely, but surgeries may also be done to prolong life or relieve symptoms. I wonder where Rob falls on the spectrum. (I'm thinking prolong life or better.) Also, I'm not surprised Rob's doctors are recommending surgery of some sort. Unless the operation would kill him, why not? My guess is they won't know how far they can go with the process until they get detailed imagining. Any of our experts care to weigh in?
ETA: And to pudd's original point, it sounds like the only news here is the tentative date. Doesn't sound like he's had any fresh scanning. They're just put him in the queue so they can move quickly if the results are good.
