text: I agree with this column to a certain extent, Rob Ford was not the best representation for the city of Toronto and of course, smoking any sort of substance isn’t something a political figure should come close to. But, he was elected fairly into office by Torontonians and if it wasn’t for the scandal, he would’ve been seen as a half decent mayor, doing his job like any other mayor did. If it wasn’t for the hate that was directed towards him and all the media attention, our city of Toronto wouldn’t have been that big of an embarrassment.
