    As a kid growing up in Toronto I remember taking a class field trip to meet him. It being around the time of this controversy we were all terrified of him. He was so big and his head was like a red balloon squeezing itself out the top of his suit. I shook his hand and it was really sweaty and gross. Very surreal experience.

    The whole Rob Ford thing was hilarious. The only person he was really hurting was himself. I still remember being in the car in Ottawa and hearing his first public denial about the video and nearly crashing from laughing at it. When he started on about an "alleged" video that may or may not exist, I knew exactly the game he was playing and knew he was screwed. An innocent person wouldn't have said it that way, they would tend to stick to it NOT existing, period.

      Rob Ford was our area Councilman. Still remember the times when my parents had a hard time with our living situation at our apartment, and he would answer his cell phone no matter what he was doing just to help my parents. He would come over and help my parents out with whatever they needed. Would stay for a coffee or beer. He then became the mayor of Toronto and was the best mayor this city ever had. He has his issues, but if you knew the guy, you'd know how hard he would work for the little guy that needed it. RIP Robbie, a lot of us miss you buddy.

    The funny thing that most people choose to ignore, is that Ford’s primary opponent in his first mayoral campaign was George Smitherman, a man who also suffered from substance abuse. The only thing was that while Ford smoked crack - the cheaper drug of choice for the poor, Smitherman snorted more expensive and purer cocaine powder.
    I prefer our politicians to not have any serious substance abuse and I was never a fan of Rob Ford, but it was very interesting to see how the media and the public treated one man’s drug habit quite differently to another’s.

    • @tartrazine5
      @tartrazine5 3 роки тому +52

      The key difference isn't what type of cocaine each man liked. Smitherman was forgiven for his cocaine use because he was a gay progressive who also wasn't careless enough to get recorded by his dealer. Leftists HATED Rob Ford and enjoyed hating him.

      I remember one guy stopped me out front a gas station and asked for 5 bucks. He looked like he was in pretty rough shape, sweating a ton. I was like "5 bucks is pretty specific, why 5?" and he said "I'm trying to get some more crack, but my dealer said I need to get him the money I still owe from last time before hell front me again"
      I appreciated the honesty, and grabbed a 5 from my wallet. Right before I handed it to him I asked "must be some good shit, is it worth it?"
      The look on his face as he cracked a huge smile and gleefully stated that it was absolutely more than worth it will always stick with me. I'd never do crack, but I feel like I have a decent idea of just how good it feels (albeit, for a bit. Which im sure is then surrounded by horrendous withdrawals)
      A crazy lady asked me for a few dollars right after that, so she could get some food, and I said no. Im pretty sure she wanted it for drugs, too, though

    man, i was working in a hospital ER, and one of the TVs in the patient waiting area/ minor injury treatment area was on when he made that "pussy eating" speech. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the TV in silence as he uttered the famous words "I have more than enough to eat at home". In shock just about everyone turning to each other and saying "did he just say that???"

    I remember as a kid seeing this crack scandal on the news and laughing being like no way this is possible, how does a good guy become a bad guy and loose everything so quickly.
    Now that i lost my dad to a fentanyl overdose out of all things and take in he was a crack addict not into fentanyl I realize how easily good people slip away and die inside before they do physically.

      It sucks that he died like that, but you should probably always keep in mind that he loved you dearly, and that his addiction didn't taint that purity. At least, from how you remember him so fondly, it seems like that was the case. He kept a job, provided for you, and showed you a great example of a great man. People tend to stigmatize drug use heavily, and that stigma causes people who pick up an addiction to hide it desperately.. And hiding it causes shame, which perpetuates it all. It's a weird thing to try to explain, but I just wanted to say that bit.

    Rob Ford was our area Councilman. Still remember the times when my parents had a hard time with our living situation at our apartment, and he would answer his cell phone no matter what he was doing just to help my parents. He would come over and help my parents out with whatever they needed. Would stay for a coffee or beer. He then became the mayor of Toronto and was the best mayor this city ever had. He has his issues, but if you knew the guy, you'd know how hard he would work for the little guy that needed it. RIP Robbie, a lot of us miss you buddy.

Toronto learned from their mistake and voted in the human equivalent of white bread, John Tory as mayor. No slight at the guy, I voted for him, he's still mayor today, and I truly believe after the antics of Rob Ford, they needed a guy as boring and plain as John Tory. Ontario also went on to elect Rob's brother Doug as premier of the province. He's uh...not great at it!

He was a human being and given what I see my American politicians up to year in year out smoking crack occasionally and having colorful city council meetings seems pretty mild.
