Wasn't he the cocaine guy from a few years ago?
No, that's his brother. This is the hash dealer.
Well, it was crack, but ~~yes. He went from being a mayor to a premier.~~ And people are shocked that the corrupt asshole is acting all corrput.
Edit: It was his brother, as the commentor below points out. But Dougie was known to be shitty before he was premier.
No, that was his brother. Rob Ford was mayor of Toronto and died a few years back.
Doug Ford is his brother who used Rob's popularity and name to propel himself to premiership.
My mistake. Thank you for the correction. Still a corrupt shitbag though.
He won with less than 23% voter turnout, the lowest turnout in Ontario's entire history.
I thought it was weed. Please, elaborate/cite so I can add this to my routine
Rob Ford was mayor of Toronto, and he was filmed on video smoking crack.
He was an extremely conservative mayor who axed a lot of social programs and privatized things like garbage collection.
Still my fave mayor of all time /s
Edit: I lied! Its Mayor Adam West ;)
Nobody messes with Adam We.
I will say the casting was amazing for Adam West and I also deeply appreciate the performance and casting of his spiritual successor, Sam Elliott as Mayor West II
They seriously privatized that? Fuck. Is it a disaster or did it actually "work out", what's the verdict?
Just wait until you hear about what his brother wants to do. Privatize healthcare. And conservatives are jumping for joy about it.
Kinda weird that conservatives bitch non stop about a few bucks in taxes, but think paying $15,000 out of pocket for an x-ray is the way.
