Crack Smoking Mayor Rob Ford Withdraws from Race … His Brother Doug Ford Replaces Him, HUH?

OH CANADA … WHAT OTHER WAY WOULD YOU EXPECT A CRACK SMOKING MAYOR TO END HIS REELECTION CAMPAIGN?

Rob Ford, the crack smoking, foul mouthed Mayor of Toronto has decided to withdraw from the mayor’s race. Comedians and late night show hosts were said to be in tears today. The move by Rob Ford and his brother Doug to rplace him is not nuts, its called “crack”.

Mayor ends his re-election bid but his brother, Councillor Doug Ford, has replaced him in a move that turns the campaign on its head.

The unprecedented Rob Ford (Open Rob Ford’s policard) era ended Friday as dramatically as it unfolded: Ford, the mayor whose scandals roiled city hall and captured global attention, withdrew from the mayoral election because of his abdominal tumour — and asked Toronto to vote for his brother, Councillor Doug Ford (Open Doug Ford’s policard), who scrambled to register as a candidate just minutes before the deadline.

The mayor signed up to run for his old Ward 2 council seat in the riding of Etobicoke North, taking the place of his nephew, Michael Ford, who withdrew from that race to run for school trustee.

“Nobody has ever seen anything like this before,” said former mayor Mel Lastman, summarizing the reaction of residents and insiders alike. “It’s nuts.”
