As much as I dislike his (lack of) leadership and disagree with his politics, this saga cannot end well for Rob Ford the person, or for his family. I have this awful feeling it's going to be quite tragic, actually. And that's very sad.

The city is at the crux of major changes, decisions and crisis - we can't really afford to be sentimental over a failure. The city have bigger issues to deal with - urgently.

I can welcome the change, but still feel sorry for the man and his family. It's my damn bleeding heart.

This photo taken Friday might help your imagination...
Saw that on Twitter a few days ago. Was laughing for a good minute or two.
Ironically it was at a PFLAG event too.

If it makes you feel better - think of it as triage.
TTM:
It's not funny - it's a disgrace - to the city he represents.

I do not like Rob Ford the politician, but Rob Ford as a human is pitiable.
I feel sorry for all the ordeals he has to go through. He is just unfit for being mayor of the fourth most populous city in North America. He should relax, coach his high school football team, and continue working in Deco Tags and Labels. Most importantly, he should register in a fitness program.

And get help for his drug problems at all.
I cannot imagine why he wants to be mayor anymore.

I am sure you would agree that one can A) recognize and appreciate Ford's epic failure on all fronts as a mayor and the need for real leadership of the city, while also B) recognizing the personal and very human tragedy that is unfolding in front of our eyes. Concern for the city and concern for someone's well-being are not mutually exclusive.

A unique and very potent combination of obstinance and delusion.

No, but personally I wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice the latter to ensure the former comes to an end.

I agree with you. Ford has done a horrible job as mayor and has made horrible choices. But he has my full compassion. I wouldn't wish this situation on mt worst enemy. None the less, the video must come out. The people of Toronto need to see what their leader has been doing.
