He sounds like a hoot at the political fund raisers.

Gosh....

Never realized what a wild and whacky bunch those Canucks are...

At least he is probably too stoned/drunk to have got up to any sexual shenanigans, unless there is another shoe waiting to fall. Watch this space perhaps.

Dude needs to smoke more crack. He is a fat

arse.

Clearly he wants

to be PM of Canada so he can join Chris

Christie at a bear gathering ...

Hope you don't mean a bare gathering with Christie, that would really be going too far!!

OMG the ranting video looks like a clip from the Sopranos, and this guy is running Canada's largest city?! Whoever said that Bloomberg was dull needs to look north for a shot of what they could have had.

What an idiot, eh? smile.png

He's colorful. Don't be a hater! He's the only Canadian MAYOR in history whose name is known internationally. How many non-Canadians even know their current PM's name? Or is their leader a MOUNTIE or something? coffee1.gif

Such a funny 30 mins watching videos on youtube about this guy. I cannot believe his comments about eating pussy. Simply so so funny, and there is no legal way for the Councillors to remove him from Office before the end of his term. Seems Toronto Council need to talk to Thaksin as to how to get someone out of power. Rob Ford could easily get a job here, he makes Chalerm look like a monk. What great value he is to Canadian politics LMAO.

He has provided great entertainment value. I am really glad he isn't from the US. I am pretty sure that posters would have been much, much more critical and the posts would have been rather vitrolic if he were.

Been there, done that...

Marion Barry circa 1990, during his first stint as mayor of Washington, DC.

The Spirt Airlines ad was pretty funny..."We're not smoking crack" with our $30 fares to Niagara Falls.

Sadly (from a US perspective) the opposite is more the case. Because this "freak of nature/humanity" was a Canadian mayor makes it all the more surprising and thus newsworthy. Dodgy behaviour by mayors for instance in Chicago, DC, Providence RI or Detroit makes further examples less shocking!

If only this was a parody:

Methodist minister

gay orgies

Crystal meth, ketamine, coke and GHB

Chairman (despite, or more likely because of, a total lack of financial experience) of a failed bank

Shaky appearance before House of Commons committee (under the influence?)

Anything Canada can produce, the Brits can pull out something tackier...
