Rob Ford is an idiot.
He roughs up reporters.
He reads while driving.
And now, he’s been punted from office for blatantly
ignoring the rules.
If politics were a work shed, Rob Ford would be the
biggest tool in the box.
Where do we get these guys, the Rob Fords and Ottawa’s
Larry O’Brien, the self-professed “swinging dick”? And why on Earth do the good
people elect them to office?
Once, I heard, the City of London ran a dog for Mayor and
he almost won.
The problem is people don’t take municipal politics
seriously because they don’t consider most of the issues earth-shattering.
Mayors don’t declare war. Mayors are preoccupied with light transit and
garbage, right?
No exactly accurate.
The fact is mayors and councils have more control over
your life than the Prime Minister.
That’s because everything they touch – roads, garbage,
welfare, libraries, police services, fire services, care for the elderly and
those with disabilities – is local.
So it’s about time that Canadians started paying
attention during municipal elections so that the local beer fart doesn’t get
elected. Anybody can run for mayor if they have enough money and the “big
machine” – that’s how dolts like Ford and O’Brien get elected.
But it’s because they have these big friends that they
get themselves into huge trouble. They owe people and people come to collect. Unlike the other garbage collectors who are actually employed by our cities.
So next time, Toronto, stop whining about what a shitty
mayor you elected and pay attention.
Find out whose bum you’re putting in that chair.
There only so many do-overs in this life.
