Ontario's Conservatives are even worse.. They're well known for killing the cow for the milk. Then there's the NDP working on getting us more university-educated burger-flippers... I'd probably try them out of morbid curiosity
The council is gaming the system.
I along with 383,500 other people, elected someone to do a job, and less than 44 of us took it upon ourselves to rescind that decision.
Some of these are the same people that have worked so hard, to prevent such things from happening to others.
It appears that some are trying to work more for the benefit of themselves and/or their party, than for the city at large.
If he'd done something completely stupid, like ask for concessions from a union, and then give them a raise instead, I'd have my doubts.

Rob ford for premier because all other options are worst.
My guess is you weren't around these parts between 90-95.
Came here at the tail end of their bungles and at an age where my only interests were basketball and pink tacos
Please remember that there was a global recession at the time. Bad timing for the NDP to get a shot at government.

So, because of "something else" the NDP failed.
We have a Libtard Prov gubment now and we also have a worldwide economic problems, I guess we can use that "something else" to justify their failings. I guess Libs and NDP can only succeed if the conditions are good (of course virtually any idiot can do well in a growing economy, something about a rising tide lifts all boats....)
Of course during the same period we've had a Conservative Fed gubment and generally compared to other G7 countries we're in much better shape. But of course Harper is a bad bad robot leader......
Sure, just a little thing like a global recession, which concerted efforts by the G20 countries couldn't fix too quickly, should have been singlehandedly overcome by the ontario provincial NDP. They're good, but not that good. 
And you might think Harper is good, but he's not so good that he can take credit for Canada's enviable condition after the recession ended. Canada's PM was Brian Mulroney when the recession started, then a brilliant flash of a career by Kim Campbell, and John Chretien in office when Canada turned around.

Zeitgeist at the time required screaming your face off if asked to give up couple days wages for the common good, if I recall correctly. It was a hysterical scene. How to govern a frothy mob? NDP was trying to reign in some fiscal imbalance. Who would have thought?
Certainly not that Bob Rae fellow, he promptly swapped parties after doing such a bang on job. His time was spent thinking about Bob.
You'll get that in politics
But the point remains, from scanning the headlines back in the day, he seemed to want to extend an olive branch by getting his own people to sacrifice a little for the common good to no avail. What lessons are other governments taking from that going forward? We get the government we deserve.
No, explain it to me, how did he put the city at risk? Was he drunk or high when took these supposed risks?
Held accountable for what? He hasn't done single thing that was illegal. He hasn't been convicted yet alone even CHARGED for anything.
Thats still doesn't address the statement that he put the city at risk. How does what he does on his own time and the people he assosiates with have anything to do with his job as a Mayor?
He lied about accusations within his personal life. So what......
Again, what does that have to do with him being Mayor?
How do you know that Rob Ford is 10x worse than the others? He's not very bright when it comes to keeping his personal life on the down low, but I bet if the media and the public that were out to get any given politician with the same ferocity as they did Ford, he'd look like a Saint.
