I don't understand how you reconcile these two statements. If the mayor did something that requires serious consequences, surely it is appropriate to bring the case, and thus this isn't a "witch hunt".

Agreed. This case is just a witch hunt by the left (this is coming from a liberal). But the mayor should face VERY SERIOUS consequences for his actions. Perhaps a hefty fine of a few $100,000s and the loss of his salary that he got from being mayor. He should also be banned from running for office the day after he completes his first or second term as mayor.

From the looks of the statute, there's no ability for a judge to change the punishment. It looks pretty clear that giving up your seat is the only punishment under the statute. Do judges have some 'wiggle room' even when it's written this clearly?

A recent ruling had the judge deem a punishment too harsh and would not impose the penalty because it represented "cruel and unusual punishment".

Ok...if the punishment is going to be determined by the fine citizenry of Toronto, here's my submission....

Ford must publicly recreate Meatloaf's video for Paradise by the Dashboard Light as the inaugural act to open the new stage in NPS (complete with long wig and pirate shirt). With Kristyn Wong-Tam playing the part of Karla DeVito. I haven't decided whether he has to lip sync or sing it live.
 
Oh cruel and unusual punishment...I don't know, make him ride the 501 during rush? Or bike (human powered) to work from Etobicoke? Finish reading a novel by Margaret Atwood? Attend Pride in drag...or car free days at Kensington? Dress up like Cherry dePinko every time he attends council (and no, attendance is mandatory). The possibilities are endless!

Better yet, Rob Ford as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Doug Ford as Rocky Horror, Frances Nunizata as Magenta, and Mammo as Riff-Raff, full costumed and no lip-syncing allowed.
 
If the judge has some wiggle room, I would think this would be fair:

- $850,000 fine
- The return of all salaries earned while mayor
- 500 hours community service
- Banning Ford from running for public office for the next 15 years

I think this sends a clear message to Ford while at the same time respecting the voters who voted for Ford.

Or we could just do what some have suggested above. In fact, I think those are even better ideas.
 
Actually, I would just ban him from running for 5 years, with the explicit warning that given his history of blatantly ignoring the rule of law, any further violations will lead to an exponential increase in punishment allowable by law. That's quite sufficient to send a clear message, I think.

Why are you so nice? Rob Ford does not deserve all this room.
 
Well, if you want to do something extreme, there's an Esso station at Scarlett & Edenbridge, just down the street from Ford's home

Yes, that reads so "Conservative Crime Bill" with its mandatory sentencing in place. So much for accusations of liberal witch-hunts.

Not really. What will get one banned is non-stop ranting about a single topic in every single thread one participates in, which unfortunately is what haters have a tendency to do on here.
