It seems, especially locally, like everyone has suddenly forgotten what a dumpster fire of a human being he was, and is fawning all over him about how he was "a great politician" because he returned his constituents' phone calls and got the potholes in his ward filled in. I watched the news tonight and every interview was about how amazing Rob Ford was and how he'll be missed. A direct quote from the newscast: "he was a controversial figure, but the good he did far outweighs the scandal". Excuse me? Is there one single tangible thing anyone can point to and say "Rob Ford accomplished that, and it benefited the city"? Much less anything that outweighs being a violent, abusive, dangerous criminal???
