Tribute video made by Don Bosco football players coached by Ford. Lots and lots of highlights of football plays. Clips with Rob Ford start around 6:20.
That'd probably be Doug's best play politically--he'd stay in the spotlight and set himself up for another mayoralty run. I think if he went away for a few years it'd damage the Ford brand.Worms speaks again... He starts at a funeral precession and turns to politics, sad, sad man.

And the casket pops open and Rob pops up saying "I'm alive, you bastards, I'm alive"!no ones there except media so far.
I wonder still if this isn't a ruse.
That's a tough act to follow, maybe Doug will round up some of Harper's Boy Scouts. Maybe they could swim Lake Ontario before they march in the procession? That would be impressive.William George Barker

Legacy
His funeral, the largest national state event in Toronto's history, was attended by an honour guard of 2,000 soldiers. The cortege stretched for more than a mile and a half, and included the Chief of the General Staff and his senior officers, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Mayor of Toronto, three federal government cabinet ministers, and six other Victoria Cross recipients. An honour guard was also provided by the United States Army. Some 50,000 spectators lined the streets of Toronto en route to Mount Pleasant Cemetery, where Barker was interred in his wife's family crypt in the Mausoleum.[26]

That's known as a ceremonial boxing in state.Still surrounded by cops, what a mockery:

Ok, I've been trying to be respectful in wake of his death but...how strange is it that the disgraced, crack-smoking mayor gets this royal send off? No one I've spoken to can understand it. Perhaps Tory thinks he can win over part of Ford Nation by supporting this?
