Mayor Rob Ford recording: drunken, sexist, racist, homophobic, abusive rant

He can and should be able to lose his elected office for conduct
unbecoming or criminal activity. That it is taking so long for that to
occur is a reflection of both the best and worst of that system.

Ummm, how so? He can only lose his elected office if he has actually been convicted of criminal behaviour and sent to jail. Even if there were criminal charges against him (which he is fond of pointing out, there are not), he would only be forcibly removed from office when he was sent to the slammer – which given trial times might not be for a long time, well after the next election this Fall.
