Whoa this guy is serious off his rocker. His Brother is just as loopy.

How can his actions not have him removed immediately? It's a sham this is allowed to happen.

This literally made me laugh out loud, I'm still chuckling at this comment.

All the amendments are being passed, easily. Expect Rob Ford to be essentially a figurehead very shortly.

Some news outlets are reporting that Rob Ford wants an election to be called immediately.

The province is saying that they won't amend the Act to allow it.

Is an election not the solution to this entire mess? Let the people decide who they want to be their mayor? This is a fundamentally broken decision making board at this time.

Call the election.

What are the actual powers of a mayor and are they given to the mayor by a city and its bylaws or are the mayors powers given by the municiple governance act?

Rob Ford wants an election now because his popularity is only just starting to slide and he thinks he can play the victim card to shore it up enough to win.

Who knows what else could come out in the next year.

They should start a reality show with Rob and his brother and call it "Dumb and Dumber"

Really?


I think that if you ask 100 people, upwards of 98% would want an election now.
Upwards of 90% would want an election on the Mayor spot as well as all of the councilors with a mind to replace them all.
