Chicog Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 The bloke is a train wreck. And apparently someone's given him his own TV show, so perhaps he'll ***k off of his own accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Toronto mayor Rob Ford loses more powers The Toronto city council has voted to strip Mayor Rob Ford of most of his authority, as the embattled city leader resists growing pressure to step down. On Monday, the council transferred most of Mr Ford's budget and many of his powers to the deputy mayor. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-24990650 I am really glad he isn't from the US Seems to be a fairly common problem, south of the border... Rep. Trey Radel (R-Fla.) charged with cocaine possession http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/11/19/rep-trey-radel-r-fla-charged-with-possession-of-controlled-substance/ He faces a maximum of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Good thing he's not black, he be in jail for 20 + years. Edited November 20, 2013 by lomatopo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Watch Mayor Ford's reality t.v. show Ford Nation which lasted only one episode.

Jingthing Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I tend to agree with this article. I reckon many Canadians are really enjoying this very different kind of ATTENTION towards their fine nation. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/hey_wait_a_minute/2013/11/rob_ford_makes_canadians_proud_the_toronto_mayor_s_antics_make_me_feel_less.html But an alternate explanation presented itself to me the other day when someone asked, by way of Facebook, whether I wasn’t desperately embarrassed to be a Canadian this week. And plumbing the arctic depths of my Canadian soul, I discovered the truth: I have never been prouder to be a Canadian in my whole entire life.

thaibeachlovers Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The more I see of that guy the more I like him. I really wish more officials were like him, as even though they always screw us over, it would at least be entertaining while they did it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
