His brother is threatening him: If you don't come back and run for mayor, I'll take over.

Some friggin 'brother' ... putting that pressure on him!

I don't think that was his intention at all, but neither of us know what his intentions were because we're not him. I'm assuming he was just being a goof and showing City Council that even though his brother is gone Dougie-boy is still there.

'Just like football camp'

Back to what I said yesterday, the media will find him if for no other reason than to ascertain he is in a respected re-hab house.....and so far it looks like he is in anything but.

Your suggestion that Doug is 'threatening' to take over Rob's campaign is misleading; the Brothers Ford see themselves as emblematic of an ideology that is larger than either of them. If Rob was not in a position to stage a campaign that would extend the tax-lowering message, I have little doubt that he would want Doug to 'carry the torch.'

The mantra of lowering taxes simply for the sake of lowering taxes is blunt stupidity. Cities generate revenues for a reason. Simply lowering taxes is not a good unto itself. The problem with the Fords is that they're not bright enough to see that. They found a way to power by appealing to populist ignorance. Nobody in their right mind could possibly think that it's possible to lower taxes and yet have enough money to build a multi-billion dollar subway. That's like taking a pay cut at work and upgrading to a bigger home.

Make no mistake about it, politics is a game to these boys. I call them boys because they have the emotional maturity and intelligence of children. They decided they would tell the voters what they want to hear, so they could have a taste of power. The sad part is their supporters fell for their schtick hook, line and sinker. If people can't see now that Ford is nothing more than a compulsive liar that's obsessed with his own power, then shame on them.

I said it many years ago before any of the crack use came to light: Rob Ford has serious mental health issues that need to be addressed. He is not well and needs help. Thirty days? The kind of illnesses that Ford is suffering are not cleared up in a few weeks. And I think you'll find that very few people are falling for his lies any more.

Rob and Doug Ford may appear to be the only "lower taxes" alternative in the Toronto mayoral race (I don't even know if that's true); however, they're full of crap, so the actual "lower taxes" alternative doesn't exist. Tax increases are a foregone conclusion. Toronto can't sustain itself. Anyone who tells you different, well, must be on crack.

No one knows for sure if Ford is in rehab or perhaps in the family cottage hiding. Most of the people in the TV show Intervention, always go out to British Columbia for help.

I forgot about his cottage.

Ill make sure to have my camera when I am up there. Wouldnt want to miss getting a shot of him up there if so.

Miss? I have hard time fitting him in the frame.

That's because a couple of the best addiction help centres are out that way.

Probably the first time in a while he has woke up without a hangover.

Right. You must feel just great when you quit cold turkey. :rolleyes:

No rehab would let him continue his campaign duties. He's lying again.

Yeah I wish him well of course but I kinda smelled a rat when i hear he has phoned Sun News for an interview. Makes me doubt what his real strategy is.

No one is taking pleasure in his misfortune. I know you're finding it difficult to continue to defend him, but must you always try to make the debate personal?

Saying "Rehab is Amazing" seems very manic behaviour for someone that's fighting addiction issues.

Rehab is a time for self reflection, remorse, healing, experiencing pain through confrontation of self destructive behaviour.

His comments seem disconnected from the reality of an actual rehab process in its early stages.

Someone told me that once in rehab, they take your cellphones and ALL communications is cut off and the person is suppose concentrate on themselves, seems like Ford NEEDS to be the centre of attention. He's only hurting himself, if he can't lose the weight, how's he going to give up the booze or the drugs. IF he's not in rehab, then his bro. is not telling the truth either.

He talks to the media on the phone to tell them he got in trouble for talking to the media on the phone? Something tells me he's not taking this seriously.
