"There is no quit in any of them."

Are we talking about the same family? The ones that have never followed through with anything?

Your obsession to come into this thread and dribble all day long about this guy is about to end

Oooh, sick burn.

 

[Roy's Square]

Maybe if he does something cool with some of the money he leaves in his will I might start to have some respect for him.

Towhey's book made it sound like Rob had pretty much reached the point where he was living from hand to mouth . . . and so, I fear Renata and Rob's children will be dependent on Diane's (and eventually Doug's) largesse for the foreseeable future.

End-of-life care is palliative, but palliative care can start well before a disease enters its terminal phase. My mother was a palliative patient for two years before she died.

I think it depends on the type of cancer and how aggressive it is. Doesn't look like Rob has much time.

He can be the Sun's correspondent in Washington DC should Trump get elected.

I suspect the Sun may not long survive RoFo - the whole of the Post Media group is in real trouble.

The Postmedia situation should guarantee that.

Doug told the Star today, “I have been at the hospital for the last five days and nights by his side."

...

Rob would want to be sedated if Doug is by his side.

 

[basic]

I suspect Dan Jacobs doesn't realize how close to death Rob is. If he's unconscious now, it probably won't be long.

Maybe he is in denial, since he will soon find himself out of a job.

Oh noes! How's the Rebel going to absorb all the talent heading its way - SAL, Barbara Kay, Blatch, etc.

The City should call a by-election tomorrow because Ford is in no condition to be an effective Councillor. How can he return phone calls or emails? How can he visit his constituents?

Ward 2 hasn't had any kind of representation for months though.

But now he's physically unable to do anything. Time for him to vacate the seat

He was never mentally capable of doing much and they let him keep the seat. They won't do anything so long as he is alive.
