The flamboyant, crack smoking mayor Rob Ford died Tuesday after a battle with cancer.
The Toronto bad boy politician, known for his partying and competent governing will always be remembered by the citizens of Toronto and even Americans who could finally remember the name of a Canadian politician.
From a praised interview on late night TV show Jimmy Kimmel, Los Angeles embraced the Mayor as he faced corruption allegations as well as his alcohol and drug issues.
Toronto bars will give out free beers in an action of respect for the lovable mayor who served two terms. strip clubs across the city will hold memorial services today and tomorrow.
“Ford lived life to the fullest,“ said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “He’s been through a lot of crazy adventures and made his 46 years on earth count. Some people didn’t like that fact, but I admire his willingness to do what he wanted with his free time. He easily could have been a stand-up comedian and be the next Mike Myers or Jim Carrey (Both Canadien), but he decided to be a public servant and help make Toronto a world-class city.
“He will be dearly missed by the City of Toronto and people around the world who watched his YouTube videos over 400 million lines. That’s a lot, eh.”
