"There you have it folks. It's all over. I'm going to resign with dignity, and I'm going to a treatment program in B.C. where I can learn to love myself again and treat myself with the respect with which I wish I had treated the people of Toronto. I'm handing the reins over to the remaining members of council in hopes that the city can move through this and find a Mayor who won't lie and cheat and associate with criminals."




ha ha, just kidding, you're all suckers i'm still mayor bitches *hits bong* *drinks a beer* *fucks a goat*

 

[MattKeil]

Not since Mike Haggar has a pipe-hittin' mayor been so brazen.

 

[shadowkat]

But he's really, really sorry guys and it won't ever, ever happen again.

He should have resigned. He's a disgrace.

 

[somesayyea]

What an embarrassing, pathetic speech.

I wouldn't even call it a speech - speeches usually have a point...this was was just the nonsensical ramblings of a crazy man.

 

[Zombie James]

So:

• He's sorry.
• He's not going to get help.
• He loves saving money.
• Vote for me on October 27th, 2014.

Pathetic.

[shadowkat]

Did he mention rehab? Getting help whatsoever?

Or did he literally just say "sorry" a few times, and that he's going back to work...

Rehab? LOL

No he's just really sorry. Really really.

 

[yyzjohn]

He didn't even say he has to get help LOL, the balls on this guy.

 

[Wazzy]

It's too late to apologize. It's too lateee.

 

[Azih]

Rehab? LOL

No he's just really sorry. Really really.

He also said it would never happen again and that Doug Ford knew nothing of all this.

To be fair, he said never, ever,ever,ever.

 

[DopeyFish]

But he's really really sorry!

Like really sincerely!
it wont happen again, ever!

 

[shadowkat]

He also said it would never happen again and that Doug Ford knew nothing of all this.

But what if he has another one if his drunken stupors?

"Rob Ford creates jobs!" *approval rating goes up 3 points*

 

[Dyno]

Why can't we rise up and just through this bum out?

Are we collectively that powerless or are we so beholden to our institutions to do the hard jobs for us?

 

[DopeyFish]

I think what rob ford was saying is that he would never tell the truth again

 

[Zombie James]

I love Adam Vaughan.

Because the municipal structure in Canada doesn't allow for it.

Basically:

The fact that short of Mr. Ford deciding to resign there is no way to remove him from office is itself a problem. In a parliamentary democracy, the prime minister or provincial premiers can be removed by the legislature (or even by their own caucus). The structure of municipal governments in Canada is different. There are no political parties. The mayor, unlike the prime minister or premier, is elected directly. As such, not even City Council can compel the mayor to do anything.

It is time for the province to step in. From a constitutional perspective, municipalities remain “creatures of the provinces” – and so it falls to the province to establish laws that ultimately govern them.

It is major failing that there are no mechanisms for impeachment in the laws governing municipalities in Ontario. A process should be instituted to ensure that a high threshold is set for removing a member of council from office, and it should contain a super-majority requirement, perhaps two-thirds of council. It must certify that a council cannot just remove a mayor on whim or for purely political reasons, that there is a clear justificatory rationale for impeachment.

Why is it that right wing politicians are immune to scandal damage but a single tiny event will end a left winger in a second?

Please let the police come out with more evidence to incriminate him. Please let the police come out with more evidence to incriminate him. Dear god, Please let the police come out with more evidence to incriminate him.

 

[thepatient666]

I can't believe he spun his crack admission into campaigning for the next election. Is this real life? This whole thing is just surreal.

 

[yyzjohn]

He has nothing left to hide. Sorry.

 

[Stet]

He has nothing left to hide. Sorry.

"Oh THAT? I wasn't hiding that, you just never asked!"

 

[Dark Schala]

People need to brainstorm a list of "correct questions" to ask him.

 

[jstripes]

He has nothing left to hide. Sorry.

Well, that just made the police's job easier. They can give up the investigation now.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I draw the line at unmarried adults having consensual sex!

Bummer, he was a half-decent politician.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

For the non-Torontonians: the man is Adam Giambrone, a left-winger who resigned after he was caught cheating on his girlfriend in his office.

 

[Prax]

Oscar winning performance, Mr. Ford.

Cannot wait for Daily Show or Colbert Report reverb.

 

[criesofthepast]

K so just a quick head count here...if there is a sex tape we are all going to watch it, right?

 

[railGUN]

There is zero chance he kept this from his brother. He is bold face lying in his apology speech. What a prick.

 

[Prax]

K so just a quick head count here...if there is a sex tape we are all going to watch it, right?

For the sake of the taxpayer, I feel like I must.

 

[Akuun]

K so just a quick head count here...if there is a sex tape we are all going to watch it, right?

I'd wait for some poor bastard to watch it and then tell me about the contents in vague terms.

 

[FairyD]

God damn this is better than the movies.

 

[yyzjohn]

For the non-Torontonians: the man is Adam Giambrone, a left-winger who resigned after he was caught cheating on his girlfriend in his office.

Also, Ford was very vocal that Giambrone had to resign after that scandal, so you know, hypocrite comes to mind.

 

[Dark Schala]

K so just a quick head count here...if there is a sex tape we are all going to watch it, right?

No.

I don't think brain bleach will be provided.

 

[killer rin]

K so just a quick head count here...if there is a sex tape we are all going to watch it, right?

I think I'm just going to rip my eyes out at that point.

Unless the other party is underage.

I just wanna see that crack tape.

Who uploads it? They're gonna make a mint off of Adsense.

Gaf Meetup event: We will have to be in a drunken stupor to make it though this

 

[jstripes]

Now I wish that Giambrone made a surprise entrance at the end of the speech, gave him a Stone Cold Stunner, and cracked open two beers.

 

[BigJonsson]

CP24 is awesome right now

Media lawyer vs Ford's lawyer

 

[shadowkat]

K so just a quick head count here...if there is a sex tape we are all going to watch it, right?

There is not enough bleach in the world.

I would never recover from the trauma.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

But what if he has another one if his drunken stupors?

Aha, but he said he's not an alcoholic. Therefore, no more drunken stupors.

Checkmate.
