Toronto Star - Rob Ford stripped of power as mayor by Toronto council
"Before voting got underway, Ford warned that the changes would “seriously hurt democracy in this city.”
“If you think American-style politics is nasty, you guys have just attacked Kuwait,” Ford said. “This is going to be outright war in the next election.”"
Classy as ever.
Haven't watched this yet, but rick mercer's from my home town. And a pretty funny guy

Nice rant! Actually, it's far too reasoned to be called a rant.
And the first comment?: "ppl can say what you want, but this guy has been a great mayor. He has followed through on his promises and saved the city hundreds of millions.
He is the guy our city needs going forward and I am confident he will get re-elected a year from now.
All the best Rob! "
So proving Rick Mercer right!
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford 'tried to buy crack video'
"Rob Ford, the mayor of Canada's largest city Toronto, is alleged to have attempted to buy a video that appears to show him smoking crack cocaine.
A police recording shows two suspected gang members apparently discussing an offer by Mr Ford of C$5,000 (£2,900) and a car for the video, weeks before its existence was made public.
..."
I don't see what the fuss is about. Guy seems perfectly sane, sensible, measured and trustworthy to me...
In an interesting twist, Olivia chow is now running against Ford.
