He says some really stupid and offensive things (he thought Lake Manitoba was in Ontario). He couldn't kick off pride day, as traditionally the mayor does, because he was going out to his cabin and wanted to beat traffic (it was literally a block from his office)..
He has also gotten rid of a lot of bike paths (13km so far) and it seems like weekly, we are hearing about cyclists in Toronto being killed. Then there is his refusal to pay back the 3000 dollars. Ford is a very wealthy man and grew up with a silver spoon, so while some of his fiscal decisions might be necessary, he comes off as uncaring and very arrogant.

Giving citizens the finger, running at journalists with fists cocked, making up a phony problem of the 'gravy train', stubbornly and besides all logic refusing the endorse the light rail transit plan for a much more expensive and less useful subway so that suburban commuters wouldn't be impacted, etc etc etc
