He's Done It!

Everyone has said he is a buffoon, not fit to lead a world class city.

But he's done it!

 He has put Toronto on the world stage!

Of course, the usual suspects are all over this like Rob Ford on his wife's....never mind.  The usual suspects being the Toronto Star and the CBC (above pics).

 But CNN is also having a field day with it (above).

Even the stogy BBC can't resist these titillating details.

And, of course, every Late Night talk show host had better be lining up lots of very nice Christmas gifts for him.

In this piece, Jon Stewart was talking about the disaster the roll out of Ombamacare has been. But he said, for every cloud there is a silver lining.

Because although the roll out has been rocky for president Obama, it has not been Mayor-of-Toronto rocky.  Or as he is now known, as he played a clip from a recent newscast "the crack smoking mayor of Toronto."

So there you go.

For everyone who complains that Canadians are perceived as polite, bacon eating beer drinkers, we now got some edgy, street cred!  People will now look at you and say, "Dude, you're from Toronto? Right on!"

Recent example; was on a bus tour of a US city and as we were talking, I told the guide that I was from Toronto. Five minutes later, as we pass a building that was an ex-bordello and drug den, the guide said, this has been patronized by pirates and reprobates. And maybe the mayor of Toronto.

So hold your head high, Torontonians!.  And your crack pipe higher.
