Such utter bullshit.
I believe the T. Dot was smited with Mayor Rob Ford because of this "centre of the universe" attitude many citizens have.
The only effect he has outside of Toronto is weakening the city's image through the humiliation of having elected the guy.
Even Womback, Saskatchewan is laughing at you, FFS.
That derisive "centre of the universe" comment has never been uttered by any Torontonian that I know. I only hear it when I'm outside of the city. There is a pervasive resentment of T.O. in this country to be sure but it's based on the attention that Toronto gets, not any belief on the part of its citizens that we are better than anyone else.
And outside of Canada - people will immediately ask about Rob Ford when they learn you are Canadian. It makes me long for the days when people knew precisely zero about Canada. This is nothing to be proud of.
