And all this with ZERO evidence so far. No video, no nothing!
Legal rights be damned, eh groggy?! Throw out the constitution as well. No trial, no proof, just toss the mayor out because of some allegations from a cheap gossip site like Gawker, and the supposed eyewitness account from a "newspaper" like The Star, who's had it in for Rob Ford since day one.
Yeah, thats fair and balanced justice right there. And quality journalism too
Nothing to do with legal rights. When he speaks, we'll listen; when he says something, we'll evaluate. How do you give someone like that a fair hearing when he stays hidden away and silent?
But we look at his job performance today and everyday. Not that it was worth the money before this crap, but his incompetent handling of the mess is entirely inadequate and unworthy. All he has done is turn bad to worse. What kind of Mayor hides from the people and the news media and sneaks out of City Hall for parts unknown by the backdoor? One who is running from his responsibilities, not one doing his job.
Doesn't matter much, we the people, even we, represented by our City Council, have no power to remove the Mayor anyway. They used to only serve short terms so we could promptly vote in a new one, but a string of competent, well intentioned team players lulled the province into extending the term to four years. All we get to do, is what we've done since Don Cherry celebrated his election: Try to manage as best we can with a clown in the Chair, and get the work done in spite of him. All he's doing is confirming his irrelevancy.
If this is how Rob handles a maybe non-existant, maybe faked video of a maybe crack-fest, imagine how competently he'd handle a blizzard. Would he even notice the ambulances weren't getting through? At least Mel sincerely tried to be on the job and on top of the situation. How pathetic to read people excusing his bufoonery, inaction and incompetence, even now because he saved them—you do know not everyone got their vehicle tax cut—a paltry few dollars while raising everyone's property taxes and accomplishing nothing at all in the way of civic improvement.
Even his handpicked Executive has said—in writing because he's hiding from them too—he's blundering this one.
Crack or not, he clearly needs help. And a job that suits him better.
