he will always be a mayor, like the former presidents of the United States are perpetually "Mr. President".
Anyways, nothing to be learned by trying to sanitize the past. We must bear this scar of shame as part of our city's history.
My optimistic hope for Rob is #3. Maybe the mayoralty had to end before charges. For example, perhaps lesser charges than extortion or dealing may now feasibly be brought, where the police and crown did not want to go there while Rob was mayor. I really hope Rob lives long enough for a handcuff perp walk.

And to those trying to close down the thread, I don't think it can until that happens.
He sure is dispensing some exceptional fresh baked word turds tonight though!
On Ford’s threat to run again in 2018:
“Nobody knows what they are doing in four years let alone in four minutes so the prospect is just as viable as any other. But the good news for voters is that Rob Ford has his mind set on being on council and keeping his eye on the cookie jar.â€
That might have been the case..... But then he went and got himself elected. "Councillor Rob Ford" is back.. There can only be one mayor in chambers.
What can be done about the returning of expired incumbents!?! Is there any hope for developing a system that protects against this? How?
We've already had the decline, now it's just a death watch.Rob being a councillor only assures a very public decline and death.
Look how low voter turnout was in the wards that supported Doug in North Etobicoke and most of Scarborough.

With a better turnout in those wards, he would have won:

Very true, but it's been a very long trend. My wife is French and her first Toronto job was with TD GM Visa in the mid-90s, on Richmond & Bay.

Plus I don't think Rob will play second fiddle very well.
We need ranked ballots - and term limits! Incumbents have it too easy. How the hell did Mammoliti get re-elected.
