Toronto mayor impeached

[Kang]

This is hilarious. His approval is still high because the options aren't better. Smitherman as mayor is way worse than a doped up Ford.

I'm color blind and this may be the most useless graphic I have ever seen

Basically, Ford would not be mayor if Toronto didn't amalgamate in the surrounding suburbs. His support is super high the further you go away from the downtown core.

I don't understand how this guy is still mayor. Is the Toronto political system that corrupt or do people just not care?

People don't care and the ones who do care can't do shit. Fairly certain it's impossible to forcibly remove a mayor (hence all the motions simply asking politely, all canadian style, for the mayor to 'step aside) unless they're convicted of an actual crime. And since it's not against the law to a) get drunk or b) be on tape smoking crack Mayor Ford is untouchable. Gotta love the letter of the law lol.

LOL

Ford slurs his words as he staggers around an unknown living room, apparently high, ranting gibberish and gesticulating wildly.
“I’m gonna kill that f--king guy. I’m telling you, it’s first-degree murder,” Mayor Rob Ford rages as someone in the room secretly uses a cellular phone to film the chief magistrate’s addled tirade.
Moments after the Star published the video online, Ford emerged from his office and apologized.
“The Toronto Star just released a video that I was very, very inebriated.”
“All I can say is, again, I’ve made mistakes. I just wanted to come out and tell you I saw a video. It’s extremely embarrassing. The whole world’s going to see it. You know what? I don’t have a problem with that.”

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford pauses as he speaks to the media at Toronto City Hall November 5, 2013. A new video obtained by the Star shows the mayor gesticulating wildly and shouting gibberish.zoom
“I hope none of you have ever or will ever be in that state. Obviously, I was extremely, extremely inebriated.”

I hope at least a few people that voted for him feel like fucking morons now. But I doubt many have put much thought into it.

hoooooly shit, lol

[Ratatapa]

Toronto has never did anything correctly for politics or Sports

Best exemple are the Blue Jays and the Toronto Fc, so I am not surprised by this

Soon this guy will be smoking crack in a van down by the river.

Embattled Ford needs help, not a public flogging

TORONTO - "I am clean as a whistle."

And Mayor Rob Ford insists if his challenge to have every member of council drug-tested had been accepted, he could prove this.

He even offered to pay for the testing.

"I want everybody to take one," he said in an interview, adding that although he has admitted to having used crack cocaine, he does not use it now.

Ford's motion was laughed at.

The motion in question

It's understandable many on council want their pound of flesh, want the circus to end or at least get some face time of their own under the big top.

"It was kind of like what they did to Jesus," Doug Ford said of what he describes as a modern-day crucifixion.

Even Doug realizes Jesus didn't admit to lying, smoking crack, buying drugs, excessive boozing.

The only alcohol mentioned in the Jesus story was that little incident of turning water into wine.

I interviewed Ford's campaign manager before he was elected and even then I knew he was kinda fishy. But how things have gone since then is beyond staggering. The article I wrote is very tame in its portrayal of Ford compared to what is being written now lol.
