Rob Ford may not have been my top pick for mayor of Toronto but democracy ruled last night and like it or not, he’ll be running our city for the next four years. While people have found plenty to knock him about (his policies, that cheesy music… “Do You Think I’m Sexy?” and municipal politics realllllly don’t go well together), Ford’s win has shown me both how passionate Torontonians are about their city and – as these tweets prove – how hilarious we can be when we’re mad about something.
I really wish our new mayor was Tom Ford and not the fat and suave-less Rob. blerg. #voteTO – @HawleyDunbar
