Maybe Doug will use the CP Conference coming up to give a Robbie update to their CP extended family.

The Flagg bros can pay for it themselves. Respect for taxpayers!

That'd make sense. They've never been shy about having him in front of the cameras when he's been sick so maybe it's something else.

Too late for that, the treatments - indeed his entire salary from his "working" years are paid for by the state. Of course, the respect for taxpayers, CTF crowd have absolutely no trouble swallowing that piece of humble pie.

LCBO to roll out home delivery later this year
See link.
Does this mean they'll only deliver to the door of an establishment, or to the office of the caller (IE. a Councillor's or Mayor's office at city hall)? Why wasn't this available 5 years ago?

I think we can expect to see something closer to him lying in state at the next Fordfest.

Doug could be planning a FordWake fundraiser to carry forward the Dynasty, in lieu of flowers.

Nobody is more relieved that Rob Ford appears to be out of the political picture than I am, but I certainly take no joy in the fact that he's most likely terminally ill. I lost my mother and my brother to cancer and both of them suffered terribly before they died. My heart also goes out to his kids who are probably going to lose their father soon. Sure, they've had a shitty upbringing but I can certainly attest to the fact that losing a parent is traumatic no matter how narcissistic and generally lousy that parent happens to be.

Well, as unfortunate as it maybe, it took him out of the political picture. The irony of real cancer taking out the political cancer isn't lost on me. Having said that, whatever sympathy I have for his suffering under the disease evaporates when I recall him saying this:

So you know what? Poetic justice. Suck it up, buttercup. He should have went to MD Anderson if he so believes in two tier...oh I forgot, he can't get through the border. I wonder why.

Given the genetic component to cancer there's a certain dark irony to the fact that his dad is reaching out from beyond the grave to fuck over little Robbie one final time.

Don't really wanna pile on here but it certainly looks like Rob's train is pulling into Kipling Station now. On a human level, I feel genuinely bad for the old mook. Stuff like this can make any man, even a stump like Rob put his thinking cap on. But really, I'll bet he's at home, in bed, Cheezy dust & weed everywhere, tons of opioids, blow on the nightstand, mickey of Russian Prince & a shot glass, ladyboy midget porn on an 80" screen.
Who wouldn't?

Also, if RoFo *were* under palliative care, going by his record with City Hall staff et al I'd pray for whomever's assigned to him--you'd need elephant tranquilizers to keep him down.
More likely that FoFam has RoFo's regular Dr. Nick and Conrad Murray-type "professionals" prescribe as much hillbilly heroin et al as they can so he can clue out and forget. But all the same, "when the time comes", I await any reported household spectacle once they cart his body out of his Edenbridge abode...

If Rob's heading for the End Zone in that Great Football Game of Life, which I thought I'd spotted @ the last disastrous Ford Fest the day before the federal election, I most certainly hope he's not being "cared for" at home. There's not a single competent caregiver in that lot and it would be way more traumatic for the kids to have to go thru that than if he were getting professional care in a medical facility. We've seen too many examples of Rob's effect on people around him, and the process of End Game cancer can severely traumatize kids. It was inflicted on my sister and her 2 daughters when my brother-in-law decided he would die at home. I have no kind thoughts for Rob, but my sympathies have gone to Renata and the kids since long before now and will continue to do so well after the post-game wrap up.
Anyone else remembering Rob's behavior after the passing of his father's close friend, and his own political mentor and loyal defender, Flaherty?

If he has fallen/leapt off the wagon recently I think we would have seen pictures. He is out of control when he's boozing and people seek him out for photos when he's in bad shape. I think it's the cancer that's kept him out of the public eye, I can't imagine he's boozing etc. at home. I don't think his family could keep him in the basement because he's such a mean, bossy drunk.
