Good piece by David Nickle:
"THE CITY: Trying to find forgiveness for Rob Ford"
"The truth of that is that Rob Ford stepped off a well-run campaign and into a job that he bungled from nearly the beginning. At some point, booze and other drugs overtook him and made things worse.
But there is little evidence that he loved Toronto enough, never mind too much, and plenty of evidence that drunk or sober, he despised significant elements of the city. His accomplishments – abolishing the car tax and the contracting out of some garbage collection – are few. The damage he did – to public transit, to the simple level of discourse – is considerable.
And for that, and many other things, he never once apologized. As good as it might feel to grant, forgiveness is really not an option."
