Canadian loser hicks and rednecks love their mayor

   Terry Blue


Toronto is a divided city between the cosmopolitan folks that live in the center city and the Canadian hicks that surround the city. The suburban and rural areas outside Toronto are also home to vast majority of growing minorities and people outside the business class mainstream. These people were incorporated into Toronto back in the nineties and they pretty much elected Rob Ford as mayor in the political debate and divide that is Toronto. I mention this fact as I have heard alot of expressions in the media on how a city like Toronto could elect a garrulous jerk and crack addict like Mayor Ford. They don't know the economic divide that exists in Canadian cities and is pretty much what we see around the world. The people who elected Rob Ford could identify with him when he was running for mayor especially compared to the corporate adversary of his that he defeated in the mayors race. Bob Ford is a man who lives life the way he sees it and has no shame to admitting his vice and passion for cigarettes,crack, and cheap Asian prostitutes. the amalgamation of five municipalities into Toronto saved Canadian governments much money and perhaps we should initiate this contraction of government in America. maybe then we will have some more real big time mayors like Bob Ford over the corporate alternative assholes.   Here is a map of the past election of Mr Ford and if you look even a five year old can tell that there is a major influence of geography to how people voted and I would be willing to bet that there is a major economic disparity in this fucking region. The sea of blue is the outer city region where major investing is lacking and it is likely filled with the less educated and ignorant smokers. The red is obviosuly the region where yuppies and international travelers live and jet set across the Canada and world to do their business most of the time. This is the new divide that suppose quote quote " All world class cities" have and Mayor Ford is a product of this divide. This site from one of my favorite sites better explains it. http://www.newgeography.com/content/001890-toronto-election-highlights-failure-amalgamation
