Name those things please.
I didn't like Ford, but I was totally ready to give him a chance. There is no doubt the left gets a little out of control sometimes, and that is exactly why populist conservatives like him get elected on "gravy train" platforms.
Then when it comes time to actually govern, reality hits them and it turns out cutting the donuts and coffee from the office budgets of city councilors really doesn't accomplish squat.
At this point, I liken to Ford apologists to the typical internet phenomenon where, once something gets sufficiently big/small, people take the contrarian viewpoint just for the sake of it.
But again, I need to ask, since the Ford haters just want to "seem like they know what they're talking about in Toronto politics", please, in your learned perspective, tell me what good things Rob Ford has done since taking office.
