I'll never forget watching him on live TV say...
"Olivia says I wanted to eat her pussy. That's not true. I've got more than enough to eat at home."
The fact he was wearing a hockey jersey that says "MAYOR FORD" makes it funnier for some reason.
@ 1:25
Absolutely mind boggling. We will never see a Mayor like him again in the city of Toronto. It's impossible.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
How do none of those reporters immediately fall out?

Rob Ford is a legend, I don’t care that he enjoyed some crack on the side, he was a funny man who saved the city a lot of money.
RIP

- Has worn blackface so many times he can’t recall how many. To distract from the news he promised government grants to go camping (no, he didn’t go through with it when elected).
- Travels to other countries (India) in cultural costume and gets made fun of by the locals because he’s not dressing appropriately (he’s in what’s considered wedding attire)
- Created a day to recognize missing and murdered indigenous people. Spends the historic inaugural day on vacation trying to surf until media catches wind of it.
- Woman asks Trudeau what he will do to assist with the lack of English Mental Health services in French speaking Quebec. He intentionally answers her in French.
- Instead of telling the truth when asked about how his family is cutting down their plastic use at an event where he is telling Canadians to cut theirs, he struggles his way through a lie about how his family has moved to, in his words, drink box water bottle thingies.
- Claimed “Canada is back”, meaning that he is returning us to moral leadership on the world stage. Proceeds to piss off the UN by reneging on commitments as he finds the least intensive and highest profile mission to commit to.
- Rubs shoulders with corrupt African leaders to win a security council seat, loses by a larger margin than the “evil” Conservatives he replaced.
- Blocks a bill to recognize the Yazidi genocide by ISIS because it was not proposed by his own party. Embarrasses Canada when the UN does it the very next day forcing Canada to 180.
- When asked which country he most admires in the world, he selects China because their “basic dictatorship” can get things done quickly.
- Is alleged to have groped a reporter in the past, ducks the allegation under the claim that “people experience things differently”. The Governor General he appoints and who promptly quits in unprecedented events due to her bullying of staff members uses the exact same quote to defend herself.
- As Prime Minister, takes a knee at an anti-racism protest in front of parliament to demand the government that he leads (with a majority mind you) to take action on racial injustice. You can guess how much action he has accomplished.
- Involved in almost annual corruption scandals, losing cabinet members regularly. Because ethics violations amount to a $500 fine, he is more than “happy to meet with” the ethics commissioner.
- Is a relatively poor speaker in either official language, struggling to annunciate his own propaganda bullshit like “she-cession” or accidentally calling an opposition member “my love” in French or forgetting to name all of our provinces on Canada day (we only have 10 provinces and 3 territories; he missed a major one).

So basically posh privileged cunt that got there because daddy can do no wrong? Sounds kinda like G.W. Bush, Boris Johnson.

Sold military hardware to Saudi Arabia while they are using it to slaughter Yemen, all while having the gall to lecture them on feminism.

Yup.
Typically people who dont like him have two reasons:
1. He's really fat (which every cartoonist in newspapers really exaggerated for laughs)
2. He does drugs
But very few people had bad things to say about his policies. Like always, people put a lot of emphasis in politicians on things that have nothing to do with their actual laws and policies. It's more like or dislike him based on looks or who is the best gabber on mic who can talk a good game like a used car salesman.

The dude was an absolute shit show, completely incompetent as the leader of the largest city in Canada but I agree that he definitely was "for the people". It makes you wonder what he could have achieved if he wasn't so fucked up. Prime Minister? WHO KNOWS.
All I know is "I've got enough to eat at home" was the single greatest moment in the history of Canadian politics. Absolute legend.
