What to do with a drunken mayor?

[argolio]

At the end of his mayoralty, Ford was losing votes as much as 43-2, and voted against his own budget twice. Toronto didn't crumble, but his effectiveness as a mayor did, and the responsibility for his downfall was all on him.

I might have waited until after the funeral, but I have no problem with anything 1argoholic wrote. Good job.

You've never done *anything* to support or advance the Argo fan community, DD. You won't be missed.

Here is a write up about Ford that I found interesting.

This quote, IMO justifies 1agoholic and Double Dare of what they have been saying on here.

“If you are not doing needles and you are not gay, you won’t get AIDS probably. That’s bottom line.” That was Rob Ford in 2006, voting against anti-AIDS education programs. When it was pointed out to him that the demographic where HIV infection was growing most quickly was heterosexual women, he responded by saying, “How are women getting it? Maybe they are sleeping with bisexual men.”

Ford obviously had no sympathy for people with aids, why should anyone have any sympathy for him because he had cancer?

Ever heard the expression "Two wrongs don't make a right?" I don't think anyone here has said Ford was a good person or that his death changes what he did in life. How does making jokes about his death help anything though but perpetuating the same kind of stupidity that Ford perpetuated in life?

Is this really about the fact that you don't like what was said, or the fact that you don't like who said it? In my view he was an evil man that did a lot of evil things. The fact that he had cancer is irrelevant to me.

Normally a thread can go in one of two directions, but I only see this one going in one direction and that is one that causes a headache for myself. Therefore, I am locking the thread.
