Rob Ford, Toronto's infamous former mayor, dead at 46

Yesterday it was announced he was moved to palliative care, and his family said that palliative didn’t mean what palliative meant… And today he passed away.

He was a terrible councillor, a terrible mayor, and by all accounts a terrible husband.
But he has small kids, and this is going to be hard on them. 46 is young. Conflicted thoughts, I have 'em.

No matter what a terrible mayor he was, this is sad news.

And, as always, fuck cancer.

I’m sure Mr. Ford embodied many admirable qualities in his brief life. It’s a pity that the public never got to see any of them.

He liked football?

Cancer? What a downer. I was hoping for something more in keeping with his rockstar lifestyle.

My word? He’s dead.

I think I read about that somewhere. It is very well covered by several blogs.

Well, he’s still got my vote.

If we’d sent him to the US instead of Ted Cruz, he’d probably - even in his current state - be the Republican nominee instead of Trump.

Would Rob Ford’s corpse be a better US president than Hillary or Donald?

Wait… Rob Ford died… where’s the thread for that?
