Ford testified in court in September, revealing that he had never read the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act he is accused of breaking, nor the handbook given to city councillors that spells out the rules for declaring conflicts.

Interesting....

Real men don't need instruction books!

I just hope this doesn't all backfire and he becomes the victim and gets re-elected next time.

This just ensures victory next election. The silent majority will come out again.

From the outside (BC) looking in, this looks a lot like the infamous mob boss Al Capone being taken down for tax evasion. True, Ford's infraction was $3k to a kids charity but it was a conflict of interest. Do not pass GO, do not collect 200$ full stop. Who know's in 2 years he may well run again and win in a land slide but for now he is out.

The rules are there for a reason, we don't want people thinking the big TO is Quebec redux do we?

I think Rob Ford forgot that left-wing people are actually clever. Ford was the architect of his own downfall. Lots of silly mistakes. I doubt he will get in again.

The Toronto lefties may get off their pinkie arses and vote en masse next time and it won't be for a Ford. The Toronto Star will have 50% less stories in it though.

Looks like Ford can run in a by-election....so either way, Rob Ford ends up back in office

[Lemmy]

When notified that he was allowed to run in a by-election, Rob Ford responded: "Bi-election? I will not participate in anything having anything to do with gays, lesbians and bisexuals."

you should see his predecessors Gaff list, it's much longer than that! If you think this guy is bad, Miller was a complete moron.

Yea, but he spoke well and looked good in a suit. His hair was awesome too.

Personally, I think he got shafted. That's no reason to boot someone from office. If the judge had no choice--even though the judge admitted that there was no corruption involved--then the law, in this case, is an ass.

True that. Wonder if he will learn from his mistakes. Somehow I doubt it.

I am always sceptical of polls, as they are not always very accurate.however, if there is any degree of accuracy to the latest angus reid poll on Ford's chances of re-election, then I don't think Toronto has anything to worry about:

Keep dreamin'.

Another landslide victory for Fat Bastard is coming if there's a by-election.

Campaign party will he held from his van down by the river.

I’d be doubly sceptical of anything the Star has to say on Ford. They have been printing anything negative they can find/make up about Ford since he was a mayoral candidate.
