YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME MAYOR

In the context of the fast approaching mayoral elections in the Canadian city of Toronto, a particular campaign group is adamant that "anyone is better than Rob Ford". Provided you are not addicted crack cocaine, you might just be the man for the job.

In May 2013, the media stumbled upon a video of Toronto's mayor Rob Ford doing crack cocaine. After having refused to resign from office, Ford admitted to having smoked the drug in what he described as on if his "drunken stupors".

In the search for a candidate who doesn't have any substance abuse problems (the dream, I know), a campaign group called No Ford Nation has taken it upon itself the make a point of how having Rob Ford as mayor of Toronto would be like having some Peter Griffin-esque character running the fifth most populated city in North America. In the quest to find a silver lining to his growing unpopularity, Mr Ford could seek some consolation in the fact that he is now the main character in this brand new animated sitcom: The Mayor of Toronto Show. If anything, the 76% of voters who want him to step down (according to a recent Ipso Reid poll) might find a sentiment of sympathy growing within them as they realise they are at least provided with a good laugh.

The No Ford Nation group argues that anyone would be more suited for the job. With such low standards to live up to, why not believe in yourself and just go for it? If you wouldn't mind living in Canada (eugh), you are probably just the candidate they are looking for.
