Deranged Rhino Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I forget the name of the book, but two or three years ago there was a good one about his family. Essentially the Kennedy's of Canadian politics. Father was a bootlegger, one of his siblings shot a guy, but the Canadian press is so hands off with their politicians that not a lot of it was public. I'll find the book when I get home so I can give it a better plug, but it was an interesting read.
Azalin Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Public officials like him don't come around often. RIP.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 He may be known for his personal life but the man was a good mayor. He would give out his home number to citizens so they could let him know of any city issues that needed to be addressed CBF
Chef Jim Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 He may be known for his personal life but the man was a good mayor. He would give out his home number to citizens so they could let him know of any city issues that needed to be addressed CBF I could use that here in Oakland. That way I wouldn't have to email every !@#$ing cop in the city.
DDD Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I saw the headline and my immediate reaction was that he died of an overdose. Too young to die. RIP.
May Day 10 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I loved the guy. Very sad to hear the news today.
BUFFALOKIE Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I didn't know he was ill. I don't know much about him other than the chicken wing pictures in the stands at a Bills game. And the drugs. It's cool to know that he was actually appreciated for his public service too. New respect. Rest in peace Mr. Ford.

It's cool to know that he was actually appreciated for his public service too. New respect. Rest in peace Mr. Ford. I always loved the fact that, when he was caught doing crack, he didn't take the Marion Barry "B word set me up" route. Instead, he went with the "I did? Must've been drunk" defense.
CowgirlsFan Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Too young too sad. Prayers to his family and friends.
