This is the point. People are comparing Ford to Churchill. That's laughable. The only similarity between the two is that they're two fat white guys that drink. From thereon there are massive departures. Ford associated (and defended!) the very people he was put in office to rid this city of. He sustained a crackhouse and supported the drug industry in Toronto while turning around and claiming to be pro police and pro law and order. And to justify his time in office he trots out bullshit numbers on fiscal responsibility that turn out to be completely false. He caused city council to be more dysfunctional than ever and has practically frozen city business in its tracks. What exactly is the reason to support this drug-hazed hypocrite?The guy is a scumbag criminal. The question is how fucked up do you have to be to wind up with that kind of drinking buddy?
Ford is trying to play this as the effects of alcohol, but really he could have gotten drunk with a higher class of drinking buddy. There are lots of alcoholics in the city he could have hooked up with who don't belong to drug gangs.
He is associated with some fucked up people.
