No seriously, the Honourable Wifebeater can't go a day without saying something stupid

Photobucket

“I don't know, and that's what I’m going to sit down with the prime minister and find out, how our immigration laws work. Obviously I have an idea, but whatever I can do to get ’em out of the city I’m going to. Regardless of if they have family or friends, I don’t want these people, if they’re convicted of a gun crime, to have anything to do with the city of Toronto.”

Fucking immigration laws, how do they work?

Also, I'm pretty sure the shooters are going to turn out to be as Canadian as the Honourable Racist Wifebeating Drunk-Driving Bird-Flipper himself.

ETA: The HWB explains why he voted against funding social programs to reduce crime and the very organizations currently counselling the kids who witnessed Monday night's violence:



LOL just kidding. He runs away from reporters and gets into his car.

did they put up someone so radically liberal against him that he looked reasonable by comparison or something?

I mean, isn't Toronto, like, ridiculously liberal?

No, the other frontrunner was also quite conservative. Gay, though. That had a bit to do with it.

Downtown Toronto is pretty liberal, but the suburbs have as many votes. That's something that downtown politicians haven't figured out yet.

how on earth is it possible that Minneapolis is so much more liberal than TORONTO.

I thought he was one of those politicians who just keep generating random bad ideas, but he's going to keep this one? Huh.

It's like someone made an app that spits out random conservative talking points and that's what he has instead of a brain.

That is pretty perfect.

When does the sideshow reach the self-immolation climax? This one really really seems to be pushing the envelope. He had a lot of immigrant support, right? There are so many spectacular ways this could end...without serving out his term.

Yeah, I saw that news story and immediately thought of your poor counter that can't seem to get above zero. Poor little counter.

It needs to be in seconds.

I seriously edit every post because it's in days, and he is stupid more frequently than once a day.

Also, I'm pretty sure the shooters are going to turn out to be as Canadian as the Honourable Racist Wifebeating Drunk-Driving Bird-Flipper himself.

Personally, I wouldn't bet for, or against, that particular outcome. Violent assholes come in every variety - some are homegrown, some not. I figure it's about even odds either way. I mean, if you picked out ten totally random people from the Toronto phone book, probably half of them would be from somewhere else - it's the nature of the city, and one of the things I like best about it. So I don't think there's any guarantee that the shooters will turn out to be whatever Ford would consider "real" Canadians, any more than there is that any other random person would be.

Of course, that in no way excuses Ford's racist assumption that anyone engaging in gun violence must be one of them there dirty furriners... And honestly, I hope they'll turn out to be Canadian, just so right-wing idiots don't have more ammunition for their anti-immigrant crap. But I wouldn't bet the rent or anything... :-/

"no one helps kids more than I do....and for you to ask that question is embarrassing"

His personal life aside, his actions as mayor are what have shamed him.

"Honourable[...]"
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
