Does Ford fit the definition of Demagogue?
I'll try to limit my posting on Ford until he is led away in handcuffs. My viewpoint is clear.
Keep taking about Ford, no other current political events are important. Move along, nothing to see here.
There was one amusing bit, where he insinuated that Daniel Dale is a pedophile who takes pictures of children.
I think that is actionable.
Absolutely no responsibility for his own actions. He blames the police chief and the media for conspiring against him and causing all his troubles. Dude, YOU are the one with the drinking problem, doing hard drugs, and hanging out with gangsters, while holding the office of mayor of Toronto. THAT's the problem, not those who caught you out.
And merely saying sorry is not taking responsibility.
I didn't take it like that, but it seems that the media is really running with it. I took it more as, "What would you think when you've got young kids and someone starts taking pictures over your fence?"
One liar spouting make-believe to another liar. I can't believe they thought any rational thinking person would take that interview seriously.
IIRC, Dale was taking pictures of the little spit of parkland next to Ford's house, that Ford was trying to buy from the city so he could expand his own property. He wasn't even aiming his camera at Ford's house. Ford fabricated his claim that Dale was standing on cinder blocks to look over the fence, and police found no evidence to backup Ford's claim.
He says that Lisi was just being used as a prop against him, or whatever, when there were numerous cases, that police documented, in which the two did package hand-offs? He's delusional.
I'm not saying that he was telling the truth. I just think that he was telling a different lie than everyone seems to think that he was
Im not sure if dictators in 3rd world countries see as much hate towards them as Rob Ford. What exactly has he done to the people in this thread that makes them unable to stop posting about him? What has he done or what decision has he made that has effected you personally that you all need to vent it on the forums EVERYDAY? Im not in Toronto so dont care who the mayor there is but you guys are really obsessed.

Maybe their position was cut (or family members). My gf is in the government, tells me when there is excess budget, they make up bogus positions to use it up just so they can get the same budget next year.
