Ford is not a politician to them. He's Charlie Sheen.
That's it, exactly. They just think he's hilarious.

When you say Ford above, are you talking about just Rob, or Doug too?
The University of Toronto has a fully recognized Conservative student club: https://www.ulife.utoronto.ca/organizations/view/id/2717University Of Toronto students cheering for Ford? That kinda blows my mind because I just can't picture our (so called) brightest students being so stupid. I know that the quality of students has been plunging but sadly, I didn't realize they had fallen that low.
I am strongly in favour of taxes as well.I don't think anyone here will argue against that. I think most posters here, myself included, are in favour of taxes that pay for services. My personal vendetta is with the anaemic TTC subsidies, which cause service shortfalls for everyone and ultimately downloads costs through fare hikes to the most cost-sensitive members of society.
People rightfully get a bit crotchety when funds raised through taxation are squandered, such as the F35 purchase you mentioned. One of the biggest problems I have is that we care about tens of thousands of dollars in senate scandal, and politicians like Rob Ford care about things like free Metropasses for councillors. This diverts the attention away from huge failed or short-sighted programs like the F35 purchase, like the gas plants and ORNGE, like the gun registry, and like the Scarborough subway. Literally billions and billions of dollars mismanaged at each level of government but people find time to [censored] about the small stuff.
Still, any large bureaucracy has inefficiencies. Doubt any of us could fix it if we tried.

I don't envy his lawyers, do you?
I can just imagine Mr. Hotmail calling him after the Sun story went up... "Robbie, buddy, listen to me. You can't freakin' *say* that."
