    I love that the thread title makes it sound like he's Toronto's official mayor of cocaine. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Hey, man. Being the Mayor of Crack is a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.

    He's such an embarrassment......I'm going to be 101% if he somehow gets re-elected....I swear he's spent like 90% of them time in rehab...

    He's polling in the low-to-mid 20s, and that appears to be more or less his ceiling. He has a devoted base of support, but anyone outside that base will vote for anyone but him, making a Ford reelection basically impossible. It's Tory or Chow.

    Ugh. I hate that he is the mayor. There is no way he should be in charge of a city again.

    Is it me, or does Canada seem to be drifting to the right, more and more?

    Also, it seems like ever since those tar sands came along, things have tilted way more rightward...I think this is one piece of the equation, but what accounts for Canada seeming to become so much more conservative? It's kinda sad...I listen to that show, 'As it Happens' on the radio, and it seems like more an more, Canada is becoming like the US.

    Hopefully I'm wrong, here, but as for the environment, it seems like that's been sold out to dirty oil money, and, with that, you get things like Bush.

    How is this bastard still in office??? I thought smoking crack was an automatic "you're fired"?

    Wait-- How would the homeless shelters even know they were taking in LGBT+ people? And how would that affect a single thing? Or did I misunderstand something?

    Rob Ford is looking more and more like a big buffoon.

    How about "the shirtless jogger" who stole the show?

    Shirtless jogger confronts Rob Ford accusing him of corruption - YouTube

    He sort of used it as a platform to grandstand, shirt off and buffed, but I'm sure he spoke for many people in Toronto. People have asked why "the shirtless jogger" can't be Toronto's mayor. He'd be much easier on the eyes, that's for sure. We can also feature him on the body hair thread on Chit Chat.

    The crack mayor is a real ***hole. I hope his political days are behind him.

    I was going to say - Rob Ford, bringing a more literal meaning to term "crackpot," as it relates to politicians. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    LGBT people don't deserve a bed for the night, but obese druggies deserve to be paid courtesy of the tax payer?
