If they can phrase it right so it's not totally embarrassing ('Ford Family Centre for Cancer Treatment') they'll take the money.

Well, it'd take Doug Sr. into account--would he have been treated at Humber?

Unless, of course, Doug Sr.'s cancer was itself a lie. (Now, *there's* a Ford story that's yet to be questioned--if only because practically everything else about the Fords has been.)

I don't know about treatment, but it is where he died ...

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nationalpost/obituary.aspx?n=douglas-bruce-ford&pid=19372100

... after a brief struggle with cancer, which may suggest it went undiagnosed for some time and/or was difficult/impossible to treat, does it not?

If the cancer was a lie, then what would he have died of?

On another note, it seems weird that the Post has no other file photo of DoFo Sr than the one where he's leaning, looking down and sneering at the camera, like he's about to crush the photog under his heel:

From the National post article:


"As a youth, Mr. Ford was

a championship swimmer and in 1954, at the age of 16, attempted the CNE marathon swim across Lake Ontario, alongside Marilyn Bell, who completed the distance.

Mr. Ford died in 2006 at the age of 73."

Forget fact checking; how about plain simple math:

Died 2006 at age 73 which means he was born in 1933 (2006 - 73 = 1933 for any NP journos who may be reading )

1933 + 16 = 1949 ( year of birth plus age equals year in which he was 16 )

Therefore, by process of doing simple math it is established DoFoSr was:
A) not 73 at time of death
B) not 16 at time of Bell swim
C) didn't do it anyway so it doesn't matter

I thought journos were supposed to fact check.

It's not just the Post of course, but I've found them remarkably uncritical/unquestioning of the Fords.

Fact #32: Doug Ford Sr. did not, as his family claims, swim Lake Ontario with Marilyn Bell

Yeah - this was all covered a few thousand pages ago. 100% pure, uncut BS.
 
What is with that generation and swimming? I'm pretty sure that both my grandpas lied about swimming feats as well. One about swimming across the border to Detroit and the other about diving off the same bridge as Johnny Weismuller.
