Here’s a Q & A from the Toronto Star that was written after it was known that Mayor Rob Ford has some kind of abdominal tumor and before it was announced that he is dropping his bid for reelection. If you’re curious, you can use that Q & A to figure what it means that Rob Ford has quit and his brother Doug has replaced him on the ballot.
It seems that Doug has never been as popular as his brother, so he is no lock to take over for his brother when he leaves office in December.
Regardless of what happens, hopefully there be less drunken use of crack cocaine involved.
And there is third Ford family member in this political “ménage à trois”
Wow, and people here complain about the Bush-Clinton “dynasties”.
At least in our political dynasties there are no crack whores involved, at least as far as we know.
And to think, we looked at Presidential brother Billy Carter as an oddity. Carter’s ain’t got squat on those Canuck Ford boys.
I don’t live anywhere near Toronto but as I understand it, Doug Ford is like Cheney while Rob Ford is like Bush. This apparently applies both in terms of personal attributes as well as the “power behind the throne” meme.
Or maybe like Boston’s Bulger brothers.
What’s the matter with Toronto?
