Robert Ford A Legend of Our Time

To start this blog post off I want to share a quote that someone put on tumblr.








Whoops that wasn't it, hold on...

Okay here it is...











I like to think that this sums up Robert Ford's political experience. In 2010 Ford was elected mayor of Toronto, and on May 16th 2013 he found his way into the hearts and minds of American. The website Gawker stated that they had been offered a video of Ford smoking crack.













That could be anything. 

Later in 2013 he admitted to public drunkenness, drinking and driving, and illegal drug use, and took a leave of absence. Most people who have ridden off into the blurry sunset, but not Ford.
















Does this look like a man who gives up... on anything other than diets? 

That's right! Ford was able to get a seat on the Toronto City Council with 58.9% of the vote. So maybe Ford never intended to be on the City Council again, but he tried, and according to that post I saw on tumblr "trying alone will lead you to better places you never intended to be at"

What a world we live in, thank you Toronto.
