sabotabbyIt scares the everloving shit out of me that this man could be our next mayor.
No, not because he's a criminal (though he is). I think pot should be legal and I think DUI should be punished far more harshly than it is. The latter, combined with Ford's stance on cycling*, is particularly toxic. We wouldn't allow an inebriated guy with a habit of drunkenly wandering around and firing off a gun to keep the weapon, let alone run our city. (Or maybe we would. Toronto voters amaze me with their ability to be taken in by the most transparent of hucksters.)
No, it scares me because he's a racist and a homophobe and a buffoon who hates everything that makes this city great. But most Hogtowners are self-hating, so if he loses the election because he used to be a pothead, I'm cool with that too. They nabbed Capone over tax evasion and all that.
