If any other city councillor was going through this, would there be such a media circus? Oh, and I wonder just who organized this media circus? The man has had his 15 minutes. Let him deal with his disease in private.

Remember everyone, he doesn't believe in national health care and wants people to pay for any treatment out of their own pocket!

My spies at City Hall advise that one of the reasons for the tracksuits is that he still has a lot of tubes inserted. For what purpose I don't know.

This is coming together way too quickly.
I think the Fords knew all this quite some time ago, shamelessly teased it on October 26th, then purposefully timed the big reveal to coincide with what Doug called those "nasty books"—neither of which he has read, and one of which he actually contributed to.
Still, although the pain is excruciating—EXCRUCIATING, in case you missed the first round of DoFo media avails—who wants to bet that our hero shows up for the next Council meeting on November 3rd.

Rob has talked about this. He still has a hole in his abdomen to drain fluids that build up inside of him. Ergo the daily visits from the nurse. I gather fluid build up can be an issue after abdominal surgery, but does anybody know how long it normally remains an issue?

He also consulted his Jewdish doctor.
This is Doug's chance to remind the electorate that his brother has cancer, which was partly caused by these recent books, the most political books ever, and if you wouldn't mind taking that sympathy you might be feeling for Rob and transferring to Doug so he can get elected to whatever position he eventually gets around to choosing. Bottom line, zing! Done.

FWIW, it took quite a while for my wife to get her cancer diagnosis. When it arrived though, the treatment plan came together quickly.

am i hearing this right?
around the 1:30 - 2 minute mark... does he say that they kinda knew something was there last month (but rob still said he was cancer free) and they only got a good look at it this past week?

Just as I am also sure that they knew about the cancer before the original announcement. They twist everything to their own ends. They are filth.

I don't think there is any reason to insult filth like that...

So, Rob and Doug can't even get their stories straight now?

Totally caught him off guard? Come on, few with advanced cancer ever think that they are truly, totally, definitively in the clear a year after treatment (and even after 5 years, the standard "window" for being declared cancer-free, the shadow of recurrence is always there). Bluster is one thing - you really can't bluff your way through cancer.

Doug Ford: Rob definitely needed chemo, would start early next week.
Rob: not clear if tumour is malignant.
Can we please get a freaking doctor here to talk about this?
