Plan B Forum

The CBC, for all its alleged left-wing slant, published a rather generous obituary. I am certainly not going to speak ill of the man and would not have wished his suffering in the past 18 months on anyone, but I would be lying if I didn't admit that I am feeling some relief that Toronto politics will be spared the clown circus that characterized his time in office, both as mayor and as a councillor before and after.

I had been meaning to post about his deteriorating condition; I read a report a few days ago that said he had been re-admitted to the hospital, with "his family gathered around him"...

That's never good news...

There was a rumour going around last week that he had died; the family came out quickly with a statement that, if you read between the lines, sounded very much like a Hail Mary play. When they said over the weekend that putting him in palliative care was intended to get him strong enough for another round of chemo, I thought yeah, right, but I was surprised that it was this fast.

An inglorious and sad life to have come to the end of.

The Clown Prince of Politics is gone. He made Drumpf seem almost normal.

Mayor no more.

Crap, it made the papers in France

He was one of my favorite political figures...

He provided so much laughter to the world...

Remember; what happens in a drunken stupor stays in a drunken stupor...

There's a film coming out, "based on real events", and Ford's even more despicable brother is calling it "hurtful".

Should have thought of that before he unleashed a maniacal drug addict on the city.

With Ford as the main subject this flick could have been named "Fat City."

I think the present governor of NJ has dibs on that movie title.
