I've been laughing all day

I don't think there's anyone in Toronto who actually knows how he won election, but somehow he did.

Because he played to the populist vote by basing his election campaign on promising a million things that he couldn't possibly deliver on like reducing the budget without cutting services, and building a subway line under every major road and thinking he could miraculously fund it by getting the private sector to dump free money on the project... because we all know how much corporations love to just give money away.

Rob Ford is all about big talk with complete ignorance as to how the real world works and with zero effort in pulling his lard encrusted ass out into some kind of reason or learning how things work. It's the same reason why he has gotten himself into this situation, he didn't bother reading what is essentially a mayor's training manual and claiming ignorance is his only defense. The word for that is, 'incompetence'.

So he governed exactly like a right-winger would...by playing to people's lizard brain? And Torontonians - who most people thought were some of the most progressive people in the country - fell for it hook, line and sinker? I'm guessing only the stupid people voted in the election.

I'm essentially being forced to acknowledge that Torontonians are some of the dumbest human beings who ever lived...particularly when they still believe the Maple Leafs are an NHL team.

well he looks like a fat fuck and no mistake

david cameron just hired a canadian to run the bank of england

britain is fucked

So why was Canada one of the least affected by the recession?

No but I'm assuming they chose him because our banks did well in the recession.


....does that seem completely unreasonable to you?

find me a jew

Here is a lulzy good summary of Rob Ford's exploits for the non-Torontonians:

I suppose Rob Ford has the advantage of just being completely ignorant and incompetent. Say what you will about him, at least he isn't a crook, unlike many other Canadian mayors in the news of late.

Angry at Parker’s admonishments for him to sit down and stop yelling when it wasn’t his turn to speak, the mayor’s brother, Councillor Doug Ford, yelled at Parker: “Why don’t you shut up and sit down?”
