It doesn't matter if it is or not, but only whether it's enough to make most voters think it is.

You misinterpreted what I said. I don't think... no, I absolutely know that Ford will not change. What I meant is that that he could possibly be convinced to step down. I wrote "recovered" in quotes because that too would be a lie. If re-elected, he'd go back to his old ways.

I though you were just being skeptical on his ability to change- but you're definitely right on the point that Ford will likely never do so, even if it's better for him and our city.
On another note, one of Ford's bigger victories is convincing people that he's an honest person when his actions pointed otherwise.

Look at our mayor, hiding in the corner of the elevator like a guilty child. If he's innocent he should come out and say so. Good on the media for keeping up the pressure.

just a question:
How many people among you would say:
"F*** minorities"
when you're surrounded by black drug dealers who are most likely armed?

Can't speak for others here, but I can't think of any instance where I would want to say something like that.

Question:
Who would be stupid to shoot the Mayor of Canada's largest city while he tweaking on crack, when they can film it and make money?

Not to defend the guy, but he allegedly said "F***ING minorities", which is still entirely unacceptable but a little less direct and outrageous than "F*** minorities".
Still, if he said either of those things he shouldn't be allowed to continue as mayor of a major city, let alone be a parent.

Kind of hard to answer that question when we aren't the ones doing crack and speaking under the influence of.

Rob Ford could say some braindead things when sober. What he could potentially say if he was on crack is wide open to speculation.
I've never done crack, but from what I've read/seen it messes you up good. So saying this wouldn't be far fectched if he was in that state.
Heck, he could've said he hates fat people in that state, and it wouldn't surprise me at this point.

Heck, an even more logical question to ask isn't what we say in his place, but why we would want to be stuck in a room with drug dealers in the first place.

“There are so many videos online that are not real,†said May Muthoni. “You can make anything these days.â€
Actually you can't. Not with the resources available to Rexdale crack dealers. You just can't fake a video, shot from around 2-3 feet away, that would convince anyone of its veracity (particularly three journalists who see hundreds of hours of video, both real and fake, every week). Peter Jackson and George Lucas could probably do it with a staff of dozens, but I don't think even the most batshit Ford apologist thinks these *crack dealers* are in that league.

I'm completely baffled by Ford's reputation as an "honest guy" and someone who "tells it like it is". He has a very long history of bold faced lying. I can understand the other qualities that his supporters see in him (his ideological purity, his personal devotion to his constituents, his ability to articulate the frustration that many people feel, etc). But why is honesty?? It's like saying what you really like about Harper is his warm and fuzzy personality or Justin Trudeau is the experience he brings to the job.
