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.

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.
