this can all just as easily be attributed to the medications he was taking.I have no idea what this has to do with Rob Ford, but Frank magazine for some time has been insinuating that Jim Flaherty had a drinking problem, offering as evidence:
-anonymous sources
-suspicious deletions from hotel bills (minibar raids?)
-this video of him speaking while allegedly 'overrefreshed'
-missing meetings at the recent G20
-emotional response to questions about Ford's crack-up
JF was close with the Ford family. That's the connection. Even if that bond was formed by going out drinking with Doug Ford Sr after work during their days in the Harris government, it's still a personal friendship; doesn't mean he's going to be buddies with every other drinker. I don't think politicians who drink hard and pay for escorts are in some secret fraternity where if you're at a hotel and see another pol stumbling out of a room with an escort, you think to yourself: "hey, he's one of us! I must rush to his defense if he's ever in trouble!" You still have to have some kind of actual personal friendship.My feelings too. If there is any possible connection to RoFo at all, it would be the unsubstantiated rumour mentioned up thread about JF's alleged fondness for escorts. But even that would be a stretch, I just can't see JF partying with RoFo at Musik, for example.
