If your argument is that he's not as ****ty as the ****tiest politicians then you've lost the argument.

His stripping of powers is more than enough as a response and arguably the most democratic one for now.


Actually it's not. The city council (of which I only voted for or against one) decided to remove a mayor that I voted for. True democracy would let me the voter make that determination on election day.

It's good to be talking about recall mechanisms for this very reason.

I fully support a recall of ANY politician as long as it is a vote of all citizens (under their jurisdiction) and not some left wing nutter elite. Those yahoos who gather at nathan phillips square do not represent me. Let the people decide if a recall is warrented and then have a bi-election if it is granted. Perhaps we can recall Priemier Wyne about the gas plants while we are at it.

Lol, your twisted view of semantics never ceases to amaze me.
Your insistence on embarrassing yourself, amuses me.

Maybe you should hang around a while pick up on a thing or two, before you go stuffing both feet in your virtual mouth, lol.

1. Fag
1. An extremely annoying, inconsiderate person most commonly associated with Harley riders.
2. A person who owns or frequently rides a Harley.
" Look at that fag riding that Harley."
"Why are these fags always so loud."

LOL, why? It's not as if he isn't. The only thing he's missing is a harley.


But feel free to keep embarrassing yourself for my pleasure, I dig shadenfeude.

This is not a left vs right thing. Councillors of all political affiliation voted to remove his powers and budget.

People shouldn't be elected and then have 0 accountability to anyone for 4 years. Kathleen Wyne can be removed as Premier any day if she loses the confidence of the legislature or her party removes her as leader. Right now, any time that the NDP or and PCs want to force an election, they can.

I would love there to be a way to hold a recall election for Ford, but in the absence of that power, there can't just be 0 accountability.

Accountability for what?

Your subjective views of drug use and lying about his personal life?

Yeah not so much. You should know that with a nick like "Bear." :lol:
My nic is CDNBear, my name is Ohkwai, which is Onondaga for Black Bear, but feel free to look silly at your leisure.

I quit reading this thread when it turned into a schoolyard pissing match.

The guy blew it, plain and simple.

If you truly believe he stumbled into a crack pipe while blacked out I really don't know what to say.
