Amid universal belief among addiction authorities that Mayor Ford is in deep denial about his condition, the mayor continues to appear at City Hall and Saturday night he attended a Ukrainian event at which the prime minister was also present. There were no untoward incidents. Ford-watchers will have noticed a renewed care he (or someone) is taking with his dress. The picture at the right shows the mayor six days ago (top) with his tie askew and shirt undone. Below is the mayor yesterday, looking neater and necessarily more in charge of himself. Whether he is in the hands of a dresser, we cannot say but it is a relief to see him looking like he is fit to appear in public. Hints from Mr. Ford’s brother, Doug, that the mayor might take time for some type of treatment remain just hints. The mayor is now said to have a driver. We can only hope that the man is also something of a chaperone when it comes to the mayor’s drinking. That may be asking a lot. Week II of the Crisis at Toronto City Hall
