Just saying.

How dare you score some stationary to raise money for underprivileged kids. Every knows you're not qualified to do such a thing! Damn it, you don't have a bleeding heart. Furthermore, how dare you not blow off your religion to attend the GAY PRIDE PARADE. Everyone knows that Christianity isn't real and besides, it's not like your religion has any special pandering status like Islam. Why, the Queers against Apartheid are out marching in goose step... I mean lockstep with the Progressive Palestinian Ballerina's.
You have no right Mr. Ford, it was way better when your predecessor was here looking the other way, kissing the Unions asses and sending us all over the world on fact finding missions geared toward...

I don't like Ford, but even I will admit impeachment was too severe for Ford's transgression. But its only one of many incidents involving Ford.

Likely Ford was behind this incident too:
Two Toronto Transit Commission buses dropped off passengers mid-route at the start of rush hour so the vehicles could be sent to a nearby football field to drive Mayor Rob Ford’s team back to their high school, the TTC has confirmed.... ...two TTC vehicles were removed from service – temporarily stranding riders in the rain – so that Mr. Ford’s Don Bosco Eagles could be ferried back to their school only six kilometres away.

The case centred on Ford’s actions at a council meeting in February. When council considered a motion to excuse him from repaying $3,150 to 11 lobbyists and one corporation from whom he improperly sought donations to his charitable football foundation, Ford gave a speech urging his colleagues to let him off the hook, then voted in favour of excusing himself. The Municipal Conflict of Interest Act forbids politicians from voting on any issue in which they have a personal financial interest.

You are upset with the Law. Not upset when it was in error. You were jumping for joy. Upset when it is used properly - Why is that not a surprise from the likes of you.

But there he was, o be still my beating heart, Friday morning after the Divisional Court decision was publicly released, walking past the CP24 camera and the CP24 reporter yelling questions at him.

Whatever Mr. Ford is, he was elected by the majority. In this case, he did not personally receive a financial benefit. That's the key. The fact that he made an appeal on a city letterhead is minor error (albeit an error).

Looking back at previous administrations, there were far worse "errors" and nothing became of them, thus the hypocristy.

That Ford actually won the election p'd them off. (I'm sure there are those who likely think that there was voter fraud involved). In actual fact, it just shows how much "maturity" there really is out there amongst the elitist crowd and their ilk. They need to get over themselves. It's not as though there won't be another election (sarcasm)!!

MHO
