Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford dead
He was just 46.
The 46-year-old Ford gained international notoriety after a video surfaced in May 2013 that apparently showed him using crack cocaine.
Ford served for a decade as a city councilor before being elected mayor in 2010.He was a bombastic and larger-than-life personality who spoke bluntly — traits that helped him craft an image as a champion for the working class.

Remember the song “Master of Sparks” by ZZ Top? About rolling a wire cage with a man in it off the back of a pickup traveling at speed? Rob Ford woulda been that guy, except he’s Canadian. Like Ted Cruz.

That breaks my heart. I really liked him.
Richard Banville March 23rd, 2016 at 16:05
You didn’t know him the way Canadians did. He was embarrassing, vulgar, ignorant and mean-spirited. Typical right-winger.
Bunya March 23rd, 2016 at 16:37
True, but I guarantee we have our share of embarrassing, vulgar, ignorant and mean-spirited assholes in the U.S., and they’re a lot worse than Ford was. He was a saint compared to the likes of Dick Cheney and Donald Trump.

Maybe he knew he was sick and said WTF give me drugs.
Kick Frenzy March 22nd, 2016 at 15:21
That’s the first thought I had too.

IKR, I know when I was first diagnosed with cancer I went home and drank lot’s of scotch.
The Original Just Me March 22nd, 2016 at 16:09
You didn’t ask me for any help in doing that. :+)
allison1050 March 22nd, 2016 at 16:47
I cooked.
tracey marie March 22nd, 2016 at 18:39
I wanted to forget for at least one night. I did not tell my husband for almost 2 weeks.
allison1050 March 22nd, 2016 at 18:56
I can understand your decision. Sometimes we need time to just absorb the news. I knew I had a tumor before I went to the doctor and because a surgeon taught me how to feel the difference between a tumor vs a cyst or collection of cysts. I didn’t tell anyone for about a month that the radiologist thought he was looking at a tumor that was more than likely cancer. I just needed some time, I hate being right ;o) sometimes.
tracey marie March 22nd, 2016 at 19:17
You seem stronger then me.I agree with you, I hated being right everytime I had FC
allison1050 March 22nd, 2016 at 19:38
In these instances it feels like a burden to me.
tracey marie March 22nd, 2016 at 19:38
It is sweetie, it is.
allison1050 March 22nd, 2016 at 19:51
We’ll make it Tracey.
tracey marie March 22nd, 2016 at 20:17
That we will, But it sucks.
allison1050 March 22nd, 2016 at 20:47
I know it does.
tracey marie March 22nd, 2016 at 20:50
Don’t you just get all pissy and angry sometimes, I do. It is short lived but it happens.
allison1050 March 22nd, 2016 at 20:57
It’s like I freeze up. That’s why I can’t even seem to clean my damned place any longer. I can be working on something take a break and it pops up, it’s never far from my thoughts. I always read a lot but have done even more over these past 2 years, it takes my away from what’s really bothering me, it’s my escape.
tracey marie March 22nd, 2016 at 21:41
I find if i walk the dogs or get on my stair step I can elevate my mood. If I drink I get the sads.
allison1050 March 22nd, 2016 at 21:55
I went for a 2 1/2 hr. walk last Wednesday and slept pretty well.
tracey marie March 22nd, 2016 at 21:58
That is a good way to work out. I wish I could sleep, I wake up every 2 hours or so.
allison1050 March 22nd, 2016 at 22:21
I don’t drop off like I had been so I’m pretty much back to being awake at least by 2:00am, I think that’s from working overnight for 13 years.
tracey marie March 22nd, 2016 at 22:26
Your job did change your sleep/wake cycle.
Kick Frenzy March 23rd, 2016 at 17:23
Yay for drinking!
Boo for cancer.
That sucks. :(
tracey marie March 23rd, 2016 at 17:37
Fckcancer
Kick Frenzy March 23rd, 2016 at 18:38
F*ck cancer, indeed.
*hugs*
tracey marie March 23rd, 2016 at 18:43
got it!
mistlesuede March 22nd, 2016 at 16:49
Me too. We probably will never know.

allison1050 March 22nd, 2016 at 16:45
Okay
mistlesuede March 22nd, 2016 at 16:49
I would think Jimmy Fallon who made him a punchline on his show night after night must be feeling a bit bad right now.
Richard Banville March 23rd, 2016 at 16:01
Rob Ford was a ridiculous figure, and a nasty right-wing criminal schmuck. The fact that his exorbitant lifestyle contributed to his early death should evoke no sympathy.
mistlesuede March 23rd, 2016 at 23:05
He had suffered with cancer for a long time. I can feel empathy for any schmuck who dies from that horrible disease at 46. As a few of us noted, he may have been using drugs and alcohol because he was sick.
Richard Banville March 24th, 2016 at 09:21
I don’t object to his drug use so much as I object to his right-wing conservative douchebaggery.
mistlesuede March 24th, 2016 at 10:50
Understood. :)
bpollen March 22nd, 2016 at 18:53
Christie might find a lesson here…
