...and that's exactly the enabling attitude of the irresponsible supporter that will continue to run this beautiful city into the ground until it no longer becomes a place to invest in.
What Ford supporters don't seem to understand in their myopic view, is that this is not about them. It is about the municipality as whole, the economic and cultural engine that runs the country, now and for generations to come.
They see themselves in a schmoe like Ford. He's perfected the: "They may be perfect but I'm not perfect" idiom that all the schmoes like him want to hear and nod their heads in agreement with. A calculated phrase perfectly aimed at a Pavlovian response. A simpleton wants to be able to screw up at life and work and be forgiven for it perpetually because they don't have the capacity to attempt being a stronger, better person with a clear scope of thought.
Woe to Rob Ford and his pathetic frailties that are now not just his problems but have become a problem for an entire city. A large and active one at that as opposed to some backwater birdhole no one knows about. I support his need for rehab and healthy recuperation. He is a human being that needs help and I wish a proper physical renaissance for him. He is a father. His mindset, however, is clearly beyond salvaging.
I'll be dammed however, if I'm going to stand by and watch him drag down my beautiful city with him and his lies, hypocrisy, homophobia, misogyny and blatant irresponsibility to the Office of the Mayor and the citizens of this city. He simply is a disgrace as a Mayor.
Go away and stay away, Rob Ford. If you truly love this city as you say you do, that is the best thing you could possibly ever do for Toronto.
