Rob Ford Re-Elected
Despite calls to resign during the last year he served as Toronto mayor, Ford had been running as the incumbent over the last several months.

“Folks, I'm going to go down there, [but] I've got to take care of my health first and foremost," Ford said on Monday night, referring to his cancer treatments, reported CBC News. "But, I can assure you, I’ll be taking care of my health and I’ll be taking care of the people in Etobicoke North and I’ll continue to take care of every taxpayer in this city,...

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was hospitalized with stomach pains on Wednesday that have been determined to be caused by a tumor.
Rob Ford Has Tumor
Ford has apparently been suffering from stomach pains for the last few months, and the pain increased in the 24 hours prior to his hospitalization. Upon examination, doctors determined that the politician has a tumor, but they’ve yet to reveal if the mass is malignant or benign.
"It is being investigated further and we need to determine exactly what type of tumor it is, and then we can decide on what type of treatment is required," Dr. Rueben Devlin, the president of Toronto’s Humber Regional Hospital, told CNN.
Ford’s brother Doug Ford has asked that the public give the family time to learn the full nature of the mayor’s health trouble. He also added, “Rob is in good spirits, and I just...

What could be controversial about the city of Toronto congratulating Canada's Olympic and Paralympic athletes? Ask Rob Ford. The Toronto mayor on Wednesday cast the sole "no" vote on a City Council motion to offer the athletes kudos. Minutes earlier, he also was the only council member to vote against a proposal to name a Toronto street after the late Nelson Mandela. Ford asked for a re-vote on both motions a half-hour later but was denied. "We all make errors," said Ford, who claimed he was stretching a sore back and voted quickly. "I guess I pushed the wrong button.

Toronto (AP) — Kevin Spacey on Saturday tweeted a Photoshopped image of himself between Toronto mayor Rob Ford and his brother in response to the siblings' criticism that he won't take photos with them. Rob and Doug Ford complained earlier this week that they were told they could not have their picture taken with the actor when Spacey and Rob Ford appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Mar 2. The embattled mayor said he wouldn't know Spacey "if I ran over him." Ford's brother called the actor "an arrogant Sob." The pair made the comments on their show on YouTube named after the mayor's supporters. Along with the photo he tweeted, Spacey said, "When did Mayor Ford start doing what people tell him to do? All you had to do was ask, guys. Here's your pic." When did Mayor Ford start doing what people tell him to do? All you had to do was ask,...

Toronto -- Toronto Mayor Rob Ford may have been laughing off his ritual humiliation while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night, which included being told to get help for his drug and alcohol addiction. But a new report suggests that Ford and his re-election team, led by brother Doug Ford, are peeved after being unexpectedly ambushed by Kimmel. "He’s a little upset,” Doug Ford, the mayor's brother and a fellow Toronto councilor, told the Toronto Sun newspaper's Joe Warmington after the mayor's appearance was taped.

I know there's already been one video this week of Chris Farley and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, but I absolutely had to share this incredibly funny trailer for Rob Ford: The Movie starring the late comedian. The trailer uses clips from films that featured Chris Farley such as Tommy Boy, Black Sheep and Dirty Work, and it's a little creepy how well they work in this fake trailer for a movie about the politician. It also "stars" Brian Dennehy as Doug Ford, Rob Lowe...

After becoming world famous due to the media coverage of the 'Crack-gate' scandal, embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and his brother Doug Ford are taking to the media.
Starting Monday night, the Ford brothers are set to host their own TV talk show called "Ford Nation" on the conservative-skewing 24/7 Sun News Network which has been struggling to get subscribers.
The series will essentially be a continuation of the Ford's top-rated radio show 'The City' on Newstalk 1010. That series ended its run last week. The news comes as Toronto City Council seeks to oust Ford from office with the help of the Ontario provincial government.
From admitting to smoking crack cocaine and purchasing illicit drugs while serving as mayor, to his recent use of the word 'pussy' during a live news press conference, the media circus surrounding Ford has yet to slow down.
