Racist right wing Toronto mayor smokes crack on video

[DSE 5]

Thousands of people in the square right now, protesting/demanding he resign. Pretty crazy, the kinds of signs I'm seeing people carrying. One, he looks like Breshznev (ford's image wearing a Cossack hat).

Watching him scream at other councillors about their own drug use is pretty funny. The guy is a whackjob, reminiscent of Rush Limbaugh.

So the dude admitted it. After all this time.

Hit the road, Mack.

Since he states unequivocally that he's not an addict...

LMAO, I can guarantee you that picture wasn't taken today.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

[DSE 5]

no, wasn't taken today, but there were many of them in the square during the council meeting. Still a lot of people in the square now.

It's certainly been interesting listening to the arguments.

He drinks, smokes crack, does lines and eats pussy. He should fit in at most DZs

Why don't they just arrest the guy? They seem powerless to do anything about him.

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Is there such a thing as a quadruple facepalm?

And...the council just voted 41-2 to strip the mayor of some of his powers. Watching him fight it is a comedy on its own.

And now Ford has lost his budget.
Was first tragic and then hilarious watching him runaround the chambers, and then knock over a female councillor.

Forgive my ignorance, has this ever happened in American politics at a city level where a elected official was stripped of all of his powers, since he can't be "un-elected?"

[lawrocket 3]

And quietly, Ford's approval rating is sinking. [Url]http://news.yahoo.com/crack-smoking-mayor-rob-ford-has-higher-approval-rating-than-obama-200319235.html[/url]

Maybe it's because people get the sense that Ford is only destroying himself and those close to him.

Dunno. You made me curious, so I Googled (american mayor stripped powers -ford) and got this: https://www.google.com/#q=american+mayor+stripped+powers+-ford&start=0

We don't so much consider him our "mayor" as our "mascot".

Not only that, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a good showing.

Our sober political liberal politicians wasted billions of tax dollars on buying votes through cancallation of power plants, ehealth scandal, Ornge, etc.

There is still a lot of support for Rob Ford's position, many will forgive his crack smoking for the results.

Personally I'll take all the jokes and have Toronto in the shape it is in, over a sober politician and be like Detroit....

This is older, but I just ran across it the other day. Didn't read back through the whole thread to see if anybody had posted it. Globe and Mail story about the Ford family history of drug dealing:

according to a sun news poll, 50% believe it to be very likely Ford will win another term, and 34% believe it to be likely. Only 7 % write him off.

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

Humanity has a long history of people supporting thugs as leaders as long as they deliver.
To the Canadians here: objectively viewed, how well has Rob Ford delivered?

He has mostly done what he said he would do during his election campaign.
