you have to be intellectually bankrupt to vote for him at this point.

Did you guys really expect him to resign?

No, I expected him to continue to be as stubborn and delusional as he always has been.

It's totally expected that he would come out there and tell blatant lies, but it's still funny. Like a clown getting a pie in the face.

I'm rooting for Mayor Ford. If only so DC doesn't have to be the only ones to have a crack using mayor getting re-elected.

Question, can he still hold office if he's arrested and charged with something?

Yes he can, actually. I believe here's nothing in the Municipal Act of Ontario that forces a Mayor to be removed from office if they are charged or even convicted of a criminal offence.

What *does* remove them from office is failure to show up to Council meetings. I think it's something like a 90-day absence that can force a Mayor out of office. So the net effect: if a Mayor goes to jail, they miss Council meetings. If they are AWOL from Council for too long ('cause they're in jail), then they are out of office.

I know this because I live in London, Ontario. Our Mayor is in legal hot water for fraud and other nonsence. :)

I'm sad to say that Ford supporters go to any length to defend this guy, even today. I have, sad to say, a brother who supports Rob. Was texting him today, and his spin is that the cops are after Ford because Ford didn't give the police force more money. "It's all a witch hunt" were his exact words.

Like, how can you even debate with people like that? LOL

It's like Tea Partiers in the US. All logic goes out the window once they have a sip of the kool-aid.

Too often people seem to get overly invested in politicians on a personal level, it's really bizarre. Like you voted for him, we get it. You don't need to white knight for him in the face of this farce. I will never understand it.

I find this all fascinating, like watching a train wreck. I just wonder where it ends, will Ford be arrested and charged? The media would blow up if this happened.
