I'm still wondering how Rob drops out of the mayoral race because of health reasons but is perfectly fine to run as a councillor (wards are not small in Toronto, bigger then many small towns). And then Doug, who said he was not going to run in this election and focus on his brothers campaign, can suddenly run for mayor. Not to mention nephew Ford (can't remember his name) dropping out from the councillor race and then runs for trustee to make room for Rob. It still strikes me as sketchy tactics to try keep "the family" in the political game.
For the Fords, it is nothing but some sort of "political chess game", and they are moving the pieces, playing the system, to stay in power as long as they can...
A few months ago Drug Ford said he would not run again... now look at him, he wants to be mayor of the City instead of his brother.
Anyway, doctors at Mount Sinai Hospital will give an update today at 5 p.m. If Rob Ford is too sick for run for mayor, logic indicates that he is also too sick to run for councillor.
If he is truly sick, he should just take some time off for his own sake. It's not like he needs a paycheck every 2 weeks to survive, the guy is set for life.
Now, it looks like the guy IS actually very sick. If they took a biopsy from his digestive system, and then a couple of days later another from his respiratory system, then most likely he has serious problems. I just can't understand how anyone could be so stubborn that he wants to keep appearances so badly, and says that he wants to go out and campaign in his condition. If he is sick (with the most probable sickness in this case), he has to get surgery now to remove the tumor(s) and then chemotherapy for several weeks.
Good luck to him.
