The witch hunt came long after his actions.

Council has voted to strip mayor of his powers and put deputy mayor in his place.

Ford to take council to court.
You mean like what happens in a democracy? The same way a democracy makes a city run on budget and efficiently without some god high up on Olympus zapping orders down to the front office by lightening bolt?

There must be more important things for Toronto council to worry about than trying to oust the Mayor whom they have not liked since before he was elected. No wonder Ford fixed so many important problems so easily. He is the only one focused on the job he was hired to do.

What mistake is that? That he's not fit to run a city because he is nuts and self medicates? The council didn't shove the glass cock in his mouth. The council didn't hire a dope dealer for a driver. The council didn't pour beer down his throat. The council didn't put words in his mouth. The council didn't f*ck over his wife and kids by being a drunken crackhead loser. He did all that by himself.

Or at least after Daniel (torstar) Dale was caught peeking over his backyard fence a couple years back.

It's a sad day for democracy.

I'm sure the elitist class is proud of itself.

Flossy?

I think if this is a democratic decision then I would have to abide by it even though I personally cannot say if he is compromised from doing his job.

His behaviour screams nut job.

You realize that gives him a pass.

I'd characterize it more as being "off the rails". But how much of this situation can be attributed to Ford and how much to the media? There is a valid process- at the ballot box. People should wait for it instead of trying to make things happen. What you have now is a big man with a big head of steam.
