Toronto: Rob Ford

Rob Ford: While the Senate-scandals are rather provincial and not receiving much attention beyond the border; Toronto, in particular, has given fodder for the American comedians and talk show hosts. They are gloating, because the U.S. is no longer the singular place for rogue politicians, according to The Star. However, though it is frustrating and embarrassing to have such scandals, and Rob Ford stands out in particular, there is more to our country than crazy mayors. The Senate-imbroglio will sort itself out eventually the Canadian way, with compromise and reserved agreements and Politicians gone bad. The year 2013 was not a good one for Canada: Senate scandals; Rob Ford and the city hall mess; Justin Biebers shenanigans. And 2014 seems to be brewing up more of the same. When shall it end? Not only the U.S. My birth-country Norway usually quite reticent about scandals, and normally indifferent to Canadian politics are also having a go at Ford and Toronto. My relatives have been sending me copies of their newspapers where it was front-page news. Unfortunately, there is a difference between being famous and infamous; and its more than the extra in.
