Rob Ford the former mayor of Toronto and councilperson died of cancer at 46. He had cancer of the abdomen removed and it came back on his bladder in a few areas.

Rob Ford was a rare dingo, an advocate for the working class, a great political strategist who expanded public transportation while cutting costs in the city bureaucracy. He was distracted from his public service at times do to his private life, marital problems, and drugs, but at least he didn't do something truly abominable like Kwame Kilpatrick. The thing is, a lot of politicians have problems in their lives going on behind the scenes, just like ordinary people, it's just that they happened to have cameras lurking around every corner sometimes to catch the moments when they compromised their principles. RIP
On top of all that, he became an internet meme and even after his name was slandered all over the press and social media, he was elected council.
Hmmm... a name associated with bad things, boisterous behavior, known for being larger than life, does that sound like anyone else we know during the US presidential race 2016? :p |

I assume you're talking about Donald Trump? He sure is someone special alright. I must admit that he definitely has many valid points, but the solutions he comes up with for those points are rather extreme. |
