Rob Ford's Toronto

I think it is what it is. Terminal pleomorphic liposarcoma.

BTW. Thanks for digging out these studies and posting them here. It's heavy going stuff, but worth the effort.

Yikes. Median overall survival, in years, for patients originally diagnosed with a metastatic form is 0.78 years. They don't even offer a 5 year survival rate for metastatic, just a 1 year rate of 45%.

In comparison, the median overall survival rate for getting thrown off an apartment balcony is only 28%.

I wonder whatever happened with that. I emailed cops to see if there was any update on the case or with how the guy is recovering and they said they still couldn't discuss it.

Cancer has gotta be real. I've seen people I know get it and it looks like Rob has it. IMO his selling off of his trinkets is a sign he knows the end has come. His family probably wanted it gone. Bonus: will pay for a better funeral.

Fridge magnets, at least.

didn't see it either, but maybe it's not considered a big event. councillors go to events in their ward all the time.
I saw a couple of tweets indicating that RoFo was at the Greek Independence Day parade on Danforth today, but no photos -- which is odd.

It's not even his ward - it's John Campbell's

He loves milking the ethnic communities - and think Jimmy K.

Last week we pondered the where abouts of the old collage featuring the key players in the fo-saga,i am not tech savvy enough to transfer it to the current page on my device but one can view it on the date May 21 2014 in the archives.

Don't know who's ward it is but it isn't Campbell's. Campbell is ward 4 Etobicoke Centre.

 

[dforthandbview]

Mary Fragedakis is the councillor.

And the new school is being built at 59 Clement Road - which is in Ward 4

Mary Fragedakis is the councillor.

She is the councilor for Toronto-Danforth

And here I was about to say that, with something as mundane as a sod-breaking ceremony, Robbie was at least doing his job.

But no, he was doing John Campbell's job in John Campbell's ward!

If I was a councillor, that's the sort of thing I'd be bringing to the Integrity Commissioner, since it shows a huge lack of respect for his colleagues (not to mention the taxpayers of Ward 2, whi end up with a distracted part-time councillor.)

I believe someone took that issue to the IC before he was mayor and they ruled he could help people in other wards. Seems like a raw deal for Ward 2 though.

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Maybe Campbell wasn’t available and seeing Robbie is councillor for the neighbouring ward – he stepped in?
