What the fuck is Rob Ford's problem?
Is he that thin skinned, or as a typical conservative, his outrage about a negative story from the past really hits too close to the truth.
This guy is an asshole of the highest order and I hope Toronto sees him for what he really is and dumps his ass the next election.

3. Mayor rips Star in Hogtown pulp slapdown as hicks, slicks, trade kicks
By David J. Climenhaga

Media mavens and politicians around the globe are surely watching with fascination the groundbreaking approach to managing news coverage now being pioneered by the mayor of Canada's largest city.

We speak, of course, of the gambit by Toronto's slapstick neo-Con mayor, Rob Ford, to refuse public documents to the Toronto Star, thus depriving the country's historically most-aggressive daily newspaper of such important scoops as canned complaints by city officials about Occupy Toronto and a vital report on progress repairing potholes.

Now, I have to pause for a moment to explain why I'm rather fond of Mayor Ford.

First, he is proof that Alberta is not the only place in Canada that elects politicians with the potential to become national embarrassments. This makes it harder for the big city media to break out the banjos and start plinking out Yankee Doodle in two parts whenever the topic of my home province comes up, which can be embarrassing, all the more excruciatingly so because it seems justified at times.
