folium Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 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.

NxaiPan Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 OMG the ranting video looks like a clip from the Sopranos, and this guy is running Canada's largest city?!

Jingthing Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) What an idiot, eh? 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? BTW, did you hear his latest gem about getting enough to eat at home?!? Edited November 16, 2013 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentlemanJim Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Ford Motor Company is not amused ... But one company is unhappy about this development: Ford Motor Co., which is busily trying to distance itself from the embattled Toronto mayor after “Ford Nation” t-shirts, featuring the automaker’s signature oval blue wordmark, started appearing this week. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/11/14/ford-motor-rob-ford-t-shirts_n_4273739.html Edited November 17, 2013 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-11-15/spirit-airlines-stays-low-fare-low-brow-with-a-classy-crack-joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that posters would have been much, much more critical and the posts would have been rather vitrolic if he were. 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
