Mayor Rob Ford on day pass in cottage country

Rob Ford was seen in both Bracebridge and Gravenhurst as he patronized a dry cleaners (upper inset) and said hello to locals in a mall (lower). It certainly helped speculation that Ford is a patient at the GreenStone, an addictions treatment centre. The Muskoka rehab centre has not confirmed that Ford is a patient but the Toronto Star says it has been told her is there. These Twitter pictures seem to suggest that Mr. Ford is on a day pass, something that is  permitted at Greenstone. According to the Bracebridge Examiner it was contacted this afternoon by a woman she had just spoken to Ford outside of a branch of the local Bank of Montreal. She said he had been talking to passersby and saying rehab was going well. An employee at the nearby Pet Valu showed the Examiner a photo she had taken of Ford in which he is pictured “looking relatively fit and wearing a suit,” but also declined to give up a picture.  The Star and CP24 said Erin Strength, an employee at Fabricare in Gravenhurst, said Ford and what looked like to be an “assistant” in his 40s came in around 2 p.m. Friday to drop off a navy blue suit. She said it would be ready late next week.
