Toronto\u2019s Mayor is Stripped of Some Power\u201d. <\/a>After openly admitting to using drugs such as crack cocaine \u201cin a drunken stupor\u201d and using offensive and sexual language.<\/p>\nAfter this stunt, I would have expected to see Mayor Rob Ford leave office, but he claims that he will not be leaving his job any time soon. Despite this, he continues to make more mistakes when speaking to reporters and acting on impulse.<\/p>\n
Mayor Rob Ford is clearly not too concerned with walking on eggshells. Although he wants to keep his job, he fires back at reporters with offensive responses that are hardly ever thought out well.<\/p>\n
When asked about the sexual relations he had with an escort, he claimed that the woman was not in fact an escort, but rather a family friend. He explained that such “allegations” had “hurt his wife.”<\/p>\n
\u00a0He is embarrassing the residents of Toronto and refuses to step down or take a leave of absence. According to sources, most members of the city council support the idea that Ford take a leave of absence, but he has refused, leaving the other council members powerless and helpless.<\/p>\n
\u00a0We can only hope that he gets back on the right path and fixes his mistakes before he destroys his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
