Rob Ford was photographed celebrating his birthday at a bar, because of course he was
As if determined to prove that nothing—not even a rehab stay 150 kilometres outside Toronto—can keep him out of the news, Rob Ford reportedly spent part of Wednesday celebrating his 45th birthday at a Crabby Joe’s Tap & Grill in Bracebirdge. This information made its way into the press after Ford posed for photos with fellow bar patrons—because of course he did.
Bar staff have said that the mayor drank only diet soda and that he was there with family. Meanwhile, the CEO of GreeneStone, Ford’s treatment facility, told the CBC that the outing was sanctioned. As with all things Fordian, there will always be reason to doubt the official version of events, but so far there’s nothing to indicate that he wasn’t just enjoying a nice, rehab-friendly Texas Tangler burger and fries.

So Ford, currently in “rehab” for an alcohol problem, and a week after his car was impounded because some strange woman (not his wife) got busted for DUI while driving it, still thinks it’s a good idea to celebrate his birthday in a bar?
Yep, that’s one hell of a rehab program he’s in. Clearly it’s working – SMH.
Isn’t Lee Anne McRobb a testament to the quality of the Rehab Program. I.E. Driving Rob Ford’s Escalade drunk, less than 6 days after “completing the rehab program” PS. She is still wanting Rob Ford to return the watch she left in his bed
they actually have an ONLINE rehab program. what a joke
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! That ‘s the sound of the garbage truck backing up to Greenestone Rehabilitation Center! This is the first stop on it’s scheduled route! The garbage truck’s next four regular destinations are Rob Ford’s “Clown Emporium”, Doug Ford’s “Bully Barn”, Momma Ford’s “Psychiatric Hospital and Kathy Ford’s “Crack Den”! Obviously, the garbage that is collected during this excursion is “NOT” recyclable! Therefore, It will be transported to a landfill site in Michigan and disposed of in the appropriate manner!
AA has something like a 10% success rate. Most rehabs built on 12 stepping and working it because you’re worth it are fail. It’s all a joke.
The hate is silly though.

Shown photos/video of LeeAnne McRobb, Victoria Thompson, who met Ford at Crabby Joe’s, says “That is definitely the woman I saw with him.”
