The City of
Toronto morns’ the passing of Robert Bruce Ford commonly known as Rob Ford, who
died in Mount Sinai Hospital on March 22nd, at the age of 46. He had a rare form of cancer
called pleomorphic liposarcoma which doctors tried desperately to treat but ford
lost his battle.
From the
office of city councilor, Ford entered the election campaign with a promise to
stop the gravy train that led him to victory and he became the 64th
mayor of Toronto. He quickly gained the trust and love of the people when he
took office; and most importantly, with his election promise he saved tax
payers lots of money.
Despite political differences and lots of
controversy, Ford’s public life led him to become famous both at home and
around the world. He was very
outspoken and had political relationships at all level of government, he
touched the lives of everyone he meets and was known as the people’s mayor.
Ford’s and his
close-knit family is seen as a force around their community. He will be
remembered as an historical figure and one of the best individual that holds an
office in politics. Hundreds of people lined up at City Hall to pay their
respects and sign the book of condolences.
Ford nation
will always be alive; remembering the legacy of a determined mayor who stood up
for them when no one else would. He was a father, a husband and a son, gone
too soon may his soul Rest in Peace.
