If the kids 'didn't have a chance' without the money then the amount is, according to the charity's founder, significant, is it not?
That isn't what they determine the significance of the $3150 to.
And so did Ford's lawyer, and he lost.

Yours or others argument (i am not sure which) in this was that judge was forced by law to make this decision because Ford voted on it and it clearly wasn't an error in judgement this completely ignores that the judge had a opportunity to not punish him. The judge made a judgement that 3000 was significant rather than saying this wasn't a significant amount.
The $3000 is significant for the kids who needed the money or to the foundation but that in my opinion isnt the standard being asked. Its was this a significant amount of money to Rob Ford. In my opinion Ford isn't repaying the money because he believes he did nothing wrong not because it would be a significant amount of money to pay back.
