Mayor Rob Ford still in power

Just a over a month ago, the mayor of Toronto Rob Ford was kicked out of his office and his role as mayor. There was a lot of rejoice in hearing this and but at the same time realized that there was a lot of work to be done after the mess he had created in our city. However just recently today, the Ontario divisional court today overturned the decision in the removal of Mr. Ford as mayor. This means that Rob Ford will continue to be our mayor. Hearing this decision recieved a lot of negative comments from not only the government, but the people of Toronto. However, one person who was relieved of hearing this decision was his brother, Doug Ford. He states that its a, "great day for Toronto."

This link below states more information about Rob Ford's reinstatement as mayor and the criticism that was followed:

Rob Ford has a history of spending money on things that our city does not need. One example would be the renovation of TTC by extending more stations available. He was even having problems outside of his job has he was caught at a Toronto Maple Leafs game drunk and excessively swearing thus being forced to be ejected from the arena. On top of that all, his personal problems such as his overweight issues have also been a reflection of his personality. He stated this whole time as mayor that he was going to do something to solve his weight issues. As of today he still remains to be this overweight man who his running this city into debt.

Despite all of this, Mr. ford will continue to run as mayor for our city. What do you think this will do to our city. Will all the mess that has been made been fixed, or will he continue to create more mess in our city. Comment below to let your feeling and opinion be heard.

This is the last blog of the semester. I just want to thank you all for your comments and following me this whole time. Your voice was truly heard and much appreciated.

    This whole suit against Ford was nonsense and just a lame attempt to kick him from office. Ordering Ford to repay charity money he never even pocketed was just dumb.I'm not defending Ford but those of you that say the court ruling should stand obviously don't understand the situation. I do hope Ford has learned something through all of this, so he can avoid all this in the future!

    Honestly, Rob Ford has become more famous than some celeberties over an year. I wouldn't say I am for or against Ford but I am certanly tired of all this media attention he is getting and how people are making a big deal about everyhting he does. Ya he is the mayor but seriosuly soo much drama is not necessary. I hope he relizes that this is his chance to prove everyone wrong and make the City of Toronto the best it can be :)
