The mayor of your city was photographed with drug dealers who were later either killed or arrested, there is apparently a video of him engaging in illegal substance abuse in the company of drug dealers (which even more seriously as time goes by, appears to have been somehow made to disappear), and in the wake of it your mayor was cowering from the media and losing senior members of his office, and people are still talking about bunny suits from four years ago. Pity people and pity the city they live in if they think there is any equivalency there. We get what we deserve.

The photo that gets more incriminating all the time
"When it comes to Rob Ford, and his relationship with the media, and his relationship with drugs, people seem more informed by faith than by facts.
[...]
Anyhow, forget the video for at least a moment. Think about the photograph. In the picture above, there are four men. One is dead, two are under arrest, and one is the mayor of Toronto.
[...]
There’s a house in the background: that’s 15 Windsor Road. None of the men in the photo live there. It is reported to be “notorious for drug problems.†A few days after the photo was published in the newspaper and online, two of its residents were beaten with a lead pipe by assailants who forced their way in, in an episode reportedly related to the publication of the photo. That house was also subject to a warrant in the massive Project Traveller drug and gang raids. One of the men who lives in the house, Fabio Basso, was a good friend of Rob Ford’s in high school.
The man who provided the photo—directly or indirectly—to the Toronto Star and Gawker is Mohamed Siad. He was arrested in those massive drug raids, too, charged with gun and drug trafficking and gang offences. After his arrest, he was stabbed in the Don Jail, and is now in protective custody. His association with the photo getting published reportedly provided the motive for his jailhouse stabbing.
So pretty much everyone and everything in the photo has a direct link to brutal violence and the gun and drug trades, or both. The setting, the person who is the source of the photo, all of the people in it. Except one: the mayor.
This raises some pretty serious questions that we might reasonably expect him to answer. So far he has refused to explain the circumstances in which the photo was taken, except to repeat that he takes photos with a lot of people. That’s true, and besides the point. Very few of the thousands of photos in which he poses raise any questions about criminal activity. This one does, and it was taken in the driveway of his friend Fabio’s house.
The circumstances of the many thousands of other photos in which he poses are often self-evident, or easy to understand. The circumstances of this one are not. The longer he remains silent, the more answers emerge from other sources, the more incriminating the picture seems.
One murder, two shootings, one stabbing, one home invasion and beating with a pipe, four arrests, many search warrants, and the mayor of Canada’s largest city.
Forget the video. The photo provides enough troubling questions on its own."
