Upgrade is "I give up'" in a louder voice. They should make a beer glass in his image, refill measured on a weight-scale.

Does the facility allow visitors who drive pink Cadillacs and wear lots of gold?

I respect anyone who has used and cleaned one of these.

I see his "Rehab" trip as a ploy to deceive those who are his backers and the uncommitted voters of Toronto. He is a big "Sham" guy and wouldn't know how to make an honest living in a setting outside of government.

At this stage, there is no evidence in front of me to show me he is in treatment, not on treatment, out of the country or at his cottage as some have suggested.

But Mayor Ford has told me directly that he is in treatment.

He is on record with that. He seems genuine in his descriptions.

Rehab or weening off in a hotel room?

Whatever floats his barge as long as it works. This should be between him and his family. He owes them, not the public.

Ford is obviously not taking it seriously. Its not a punishment either
serious rehab is a mixture of consequence and rehabilitation
If it is to be done seriously you shut out the outside world until you
can deal with your problem and then integrate into the larger society
This guy is using this as a publicity stunt to keep his election hopes
alive.
If it is not time for Ford to move on its time for society to move on.
He is a disgrace to his profession and his fifteen minutes of fame
should come to a close.

Rehab in Lima.

You can't have a phone in a real rehab.

and likely not even an outside meeting brought to them for at least 2 weeks.

he's in the easy does it program if anything.

put him on the 5 hour bus ride to North Bay. They'll sort him out.

The one thing about addictions is they don't go away and always resurface in some other form once under control.

I think we should go through his garbage and see what sort of candy he uses and then before the stock hits the roof, buy futures and make a bundle.

but then again it might be Russian looking HO's and well, oh hey kyjelly might be an option.

Detox. They can still use phones and meet with people after 72 hours while awaiting real rehab.

...... while awaiting real rehab.
Just what does that look like in the real world? I'm going to go with most people should up the )2 content of the place they sleep so they are as alert as possible when they are awake but spared the task of doing anything to help that condition along. (ie stroke victims should have a little pump that ups the air pressure in their sleeping room (or house) to whatever it takes to make their brains 'swell up' to 'comfortably fit' their existing skull rather than bounce it around at the gym trying to 'man up'. Walking up to a riot cop and asking to sniff his taser is just asking for punishment.

I'm pretty sure the Chinese and Brazilian doctors could come up with a bunch of things that would make the sheeple more comfortable being sheeple after their basic needs (like wifi broadband) are met and it doesn't break the bank and actually requires 'less help' from them rather than 'more'.

Detox. They can still use phones and meet with people after 72 hours while awaiting real rehab.
For 90% of them the 'treatment' might mean getting to the nearest Timmy's to get you 'normal order and scripts for the day'. Today a finger print scanner at the security station would have your special diet pop out. (not shrink meds, you have to answer a skill testing question correct first then you're good for the week or so, you know like any good totalitarian government would do for it's most valued slaves. Good drugs is less expensive that having cages when control of the masses at no expense is desired so life on the cheap is the order of the day. Letting the slaves eat coco leaves let Cortez and Co clean out the heavy metal for a price no higher than letting that leaf be part of the mandated coffee break. (no need to cover what happened when the mines were empty as this was a Christian inspired era)
