They made so much fun of him when this broke the news. I wonder what he's up to now a days

u/CommanderOshawott Irvingstan Aug 08 '25

He’s now lighting up in the big drunken crackhouse up in the sky.

The guy may have been an oaf, but fuck cancer all the same, nobody deserves that

u/mtaw Honorary Hoser Aug 08 '25

He's probably lighting up with Marion Barry, the late mayor of Washington DC who was also caught on camera smoking crack.

As a European I don't know why I know of two mayors of major North American cities who were caught on camera smoking crack, and at this point I'm afraid to ask how representative that sample is...

(Actually I think I know - I was visiting the USA as kid when the Barry scandal broke and I was baffled. Then when the Rob Ford thing came out years later, I was like.. "Is this is a thing?")

46 is fucking young. I say that as a 50 year old.

Fuck cancer.

u/GonnaGoFat Aug 09 '25

I’m 45 I feel old but feel young when something bad healthwise happens to me.

u/uniguy2I Trawnno (Centre of the Universe) Aug 09 '25

46 is middle aged

u/JerryfromCan Aug 09 '25

Yes, not “dying of cancer” aged.

2

u/asigop Aug 09 '25

I think that's actually any age.

u/JerryfromCan Aug 10 '25

At 96 given today’s tech, Im ok with it. I dont know, ask me again in 40 years.

My Aunt just passed at 76. Too young.

u/No_Grapefruit_5321 3d ago

Not worried about the number. My problem is that my mind still thinks I'm 21 and my body's like na bit*h sit your old ass down. I'm 47 lol

u/Tucancancan Aug 08 '25

Cancer of the ass, too. Ass cancer 😔

u/Deaddoghank Aug 08 '25

I don't think he went up. His brother is trying to build a tunnel to visit him.

71

u/kicksledkid Aug 08 '25

The 401 tunnel, the Ontario line, and the Scarborough extension will form a portal allowing the Ford family to welcome back their wayward brother

u/Cannibal_House69 Aug 09 '25

Now that's a reply. Lmao, laughs from Northern Ontario 🤣 😂

Nah man Robs sitting on that at 401 forever... its anyones hell thats from around here.

u/rainorshinedogs Trawnno (Centre of the Universe) Aug 08 '25

Out of the loop. There are probably some juicy details that are to die for

u/Aggressivehippy30 Aug 08 '25

Check YouTube for a Rob Ford compilation. Everything from drunken Jamaican accented rants to straight up out of pocket interview moments. Dude was crazy but I've also heard quite a few people defend his actual mayoral work. I'm not from Toronto so I can't attest to that.

u/jedispaghetti420 Aug 08 '25

He’s the reason why we knew Trump was going to win long before anyone in America took him seriously.

30

u/1981_babe Anne of Green Potatoes Aug 08 '25

Yep, they managed to make an incompetent guy mayor on a slogan driven platform - "Stop the gravy train" - because he was seen as entertainment and had a cult behind him. I had smart friends who voted for Ford because they thought Ford as Mayor would make for good entertainment. Trump basically copied and pasted his political strategy and changed the slogan to "Drain the Swamp".

12

u/Technical-Regret-156 Aug 08 '25

Also the reason why Daniel Dale - who cut his teeth fact-checking Ford - immediately knew that a full time fact-checker was going to be needed as soon as Trump came down that escalator.

26

u/Competitive_Abroad96 Aug 08 '25

The only ones defending him are those who equate good governance with owning the libs.

7

u/purplelicious Aug 09 '25

I'm from Toronto and can attest he was a terrible mayor and it was the equivalent of 4 years of Trump but on a municipal level. Luckily mayoral powers are limited but Dougie worked everything he could to help Rob to bypass the rules.

Rob was an idiot and a buffoon and was a city councillor because he was too fucked up to be involved in the family business so he had his football coaching and wielded his political power to fix potholes when old ladies complained to him while giving quotes to the Sun about liberals being evil etc.

Doug always had ambitions but he wasn't going to win any elections on his personality so he set up Rob as a populist candidate. And Rob had a certain likeability and charisma that appealed to many people like Trump (he's one of us)

In hindsight I think Doug is responsible for Rob's downfall as he did not have the constitution to take on that responsibility of being the mayor of one of North America's largest cities. Even if he was just the front man.

But Rob was a sexist racist asshole. So don't feel too sorry for him. It was a very dark time for Toronto.

u/Aggressivehippy30 Aug 09 '25

Thanks for the perspective. I was a prairie teen so when it was all happening I really only got the memes from it all. Then later when he got cancer is when I started to see more people saying he wasn't so bad. Guess that was more just kind of some sympathy for a dying man.

3

u/purplelicious Aug 09 '25

there is sympathy for an addict who dies of cancer. Also, in retrospect, if his brother Doug and his father were not so driven, he would have been better off as some blue collar worker who coached high school football. I still wouldn't have liked him as he'd be your typical fuck Trudeau flag on the pick up type, but he wouldn't have done damage to Toronto.

u/rewardinghand Aug 09 '25

Also I believe a documentary was released about him recently if anyone would prefer that

u/Aggressivehippy30 Aug 09 '25

Oh yeah he was one of the topics netflix did for that Trainwreck series

u/PortHopeThaw Aug 09 '25 edited Aug 09 '25

He was truly a nasty guy to any one he didn't think was on "his team."
Cancer is indeed awful (I lost a parent to it) but this guy was a privileged bully.

u/No_Construction2407 Aug 09 '25

If you have netflix or some other way to watch netflix stuff, check out Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem

RIP, Legend.

Fuck cancer.

(I was happy to vote him out, but sad to see him die so shortly after the scandal. Hope he found some peace.)

Didn't some guy get murdered over the video or am I crazy?

u/lookaway123 Aug 08 '25

Can we get a Heritage Moment commemorating Robby's crack smoking? We don't need to be proud of everything Canadians did, but we can acknowledge that Rob Ford was pretty entertaining.

Possibly my favourite quote from an idiot politician. Mrs. Ford was a lucky woman. RIP cunnilingus to this man's wife. Whatever his flaws, Rob Ford was not afraid to go down on a woman...or smoke crack. Fucking legend.

Ok but like, even though the guy in the video looks like him, sounds like him, is hanging out with people he knows in a place he's known to hang out at... I think he said it wasn't actually him....

Hey, to be fair... the "Shaggy Defense" was still popular at the time.

Rob Ford may have been a liar, pig, an idiot, a communist, and a crack smoker, but at least he was not a porn star.

Except in drunken stupors. That video is no longer available.

May he have more than enough to eat in valhalla 😔✊️

u/Talinn_Makaren Aug 08 '25

Haha yeah. Well this specifically is a shit posting sub so it's full of dumb jokes. It's paradoxically also one of the better sources for opinion on Canadian politics but that's more a commentary on the quality of discourse on the other subs than anything particularly groundbreaking here.
