that's why this story will vanish quickly, his privacy is no more important than your privacy.

Of course it isn't.

But neither does his identity or role in politics justify the action taken which, again, was the essence of the first post that I was replying to.

Also a private individual and not one known through politics or celebrity has a far greater chance of never seeing that information go public. I think it's purposeful denial to not acknowledge that is not the case with respect to Ford. Simply put there is a market out there for information on him.

It's a non issue according to Ford haters, SLM.

Not that they're anything but transparent.

I don't hate him, nor am I a fan. I think the most my investment could be described as is perplexed bemusement from a distance, which mostly involves a lot of eye rolling and skipping over news articles with his name in the title.

Anywho....my main issue was and is first and foremost the breach of information. Wrong on all scores, irrespective of who's information was breached.

But to deny that he's a target because of who he is, I think is short sighted. Now whether he was targeted due to some insidious political machinations or because he and others have made himself into a tabloid like celebrity, doesn't really matter. His name has cash value when it comes to information.

Lastly dismissing the breach as "politics as usual" is wrong.

That is my three pronged approach to this particular issue, lol.

"This has got nothing to do with politics and confidential health records are most certainly not 'fair game'. Complaining about telemarketing calls and complaining about a violation of confidential medical information are on vastly different scales!"

........"Ain't in the same ballpark. Hell, ain't even the same game"............Pulp Fiction.

Anyone that uses either of those particular bent's to dismiss this, are simply vapid hacks, who are transparent for what they really are.

One more reason why one should never trust government employees with personal information.

Hospital records FFS, Tax. Hospital employees outed them.

But if they're not vapid hacks, what are they. ?

I'm not a hater of the fat fukk, but not a fan either. The persons who outed the records should lose their jobs.

The real world is far less politically motivated than all bluster you see in places like this.

It was also hospital employee(s) that hacked into his records in the first place and hospital employees are mostly unionized government employees.

I don't know if any information has gotten out, at least not yet it hasn't. But they did access the information without cause, something they are expressly forbidden to do.

Dougie said: "I'm sure I'll talk to Rob about it," he said."All I can tell you is Mt. Sinai is one of the best hospitals in the entire world and they did a lot of good things for Rob and millions of others over the years."
Ford said he was confident the hospital will "handle it appropriately.."

Unless there's a politician involved. Ockham's Razor.

this is politics and everything appears to be fair game funny how the right cries
when they are breached yet they make robo calls and hack the left. No I am not
saying its right I am saying it take two to tango and its time both sides engaged
in some honesty and ethics

2 alleged wrongs make a right?

All politicians make robocalls. I think I have probably gotten several from each mayoral candidate in this election.

Hopefully, the 2 workers have been fired. But they probably just received a strongly worded letter and the contents of the files will appear on tomorrow's Toronto Star or other such tabloid rag.

fuk man, you're so partisanally stupid and goddamn ignorant.

look you ignorant capslock arsehole, the hospital has been going for over 90 years, you 'do the math' for us m'kay? we'll wait. even at a lowly 50,000 inpatients a year, it's only 40 years for 2 million people looked-after, never mind all the emergency visits.


"Mount Sinai Hospital has existed in Toronto since 1923 under various names; it has occupied its present site on University Avenue since 1973. In the fiscal year ending March 2013, Mount Sinai Hospital cared for 128,714 inpatients days, delivered almost 7000 babies and performed almost 20,000 surgeries. Toronto and area residents made more than half a million ambulatory clinic visits to Mount Sinai. In that same year, the hospital’s Schwartz/Reisman Emergency Department saw 56,080 visits and that number expected to increase to 80,000/year over the next few years."

Mount Sinai Hospital Wikipedia

now crawl back into your hole putz.

Ummm...

Just vapid.

and fukkin' ignorant.


of course this politically motivated...what supporter of his would want to creep around inside his personal medical history? the man isn't even running for mayor any more so what gives.

likely someone looking to make a buck by somehow copying or print-screening the data with hopes of forwarding it to gawker, tmz, smoking gun or their ilk like the toronto star. either that or Ford was just part of another mass records info-grab by crooked insiders. either way, the public needs to know what the hell is going on and who did it.

it needs to be explained further what type of employees these were, what exactly was done to discipline them and what if anything was done with the info they viewed. that is mt. Sinai's and/or the media or the police or a privacy commissioner's responsibility. but the hospital uses the smarmy 'for privacy' reasons, they can't go further into what happened. that would be the privacy of the two schmucks that weren't part of Rob's medical care team they're worried about. yeah right.

[...]

In August, the Star discovered Mount Sinai, North York General, St. Joseph’s Health Centre, Humber River, Toronto East General and Rouge Valley Health inappropriately provided patient names, ages, lengths of hospital stays, physicians, types of diets and reasons for admission to maternity imaging company Just Arrived Baby Photography Inc.

The breach involved tens of thousands of new mothers.

Two months before, a $412-million class action lawsuit was launched against Rouge Valley Centenary after the hospital gave contact information for 8,300 patients to private companies marketing RESP investments.


[...] Toronto Star


this horsesh!t needs to be sorted out by our good friends at the liberal government and our taxpayer allies like the police, courts and reported in the media.
