Rob Ford's Toronto

[casita]

So, DoFo could of course take over the reigns, since he is the one Diane trusts the most.

An heir and a spare.

Kevin Donavan was just on cbc radio 1's Day Six discussing the Muzik story. Totally paraphrasing, he said the story isn't RoFo's substance abuse it is corruption. He also said more stories are coming. Lots of questions around Muzik and Fordfest that remain unanswered. DoFo's response to Kevin's request for comment waste be very careful what the star printed.

Edited to add link and put in DoFo's actual response.

I think we'll be hearing lots more about Musik and it's dealings

I think it is exceedingly likely that he has gone into rehab for real.

My theory is that the entire last few days have basically amounted to an family intervention.

Doug realized weeks ago that his brother was not going to stop binge drinking and using crack. He disappeared to Chicago to put the rehab plan in place, book the treatment center etc.

Kathy and Lisi were enlisted to put Rob in a room with crack cocaine, and "Unnamed" was there to film him getting loaded, and leak the footage of Rob huffing on the pipe in a matter of a few days. That's why there's 6 minutes of footage.

Rob of course had no idea his brother was going to force him into rehab, and is no doubt cursing as we speak, as he enters the long night of detox and drying out.

So it's "b---h set me up". With this family anything is possible. But if it's real rehab, why hasn't the family said so directly? Usually their weasel words mean they are hiding something.

Only for the committed masochists among us:

Ford Nation Gail joins the Showgram from Newstalk 1010

The intransigent idiocy is strong with these two.

Blind obedience. Sounds exactly like my many of my neighbours.

I thought Gail sounded a lot like big sis Kathy...

Without the whiskey voice.

Not many 22 year olds have such a cool car.

All the Ford girls have mustangs ... They each got one when they got their licence.

Could Musik go back after the fact and produce receipts etc to make it look like everything was on the up and up?

Jimmi T:

I am sure they could produce the receipts (literally), but why would Muzik be the provider of booze out of ALL the providers out there? And one that has a business relationship with the city at that. Optics...

With Rob going on leave, what are we going to talk about in this thread?

Is that like Shore Leave?

A little misty-eyed and nostalgic for all the good times? (Might make a great election poster)

When I got my license I saved up for my car, a Chevy citation. I had no help from my parents.

Even if it is a legitimate attempt, there's no way he is at the point where it will stick this time. He's nowhere near self aware and open minded enough yet to actually make changes needed to stay clean long term. Considering Doug has already said Rob is running when he gets back, his family obviously isn't either.

Would this make a good poster too.
