多伦多前市长Rob Ford在昨日离开了...
 

也许很多人并不是很了解他...
 
也许只知道他酗酒、吸毒、鄙视LGBT...

但是，他悔过："Being in politics, you're in the spotlight all the time. I made a mistake. I made a major mistake. I really regret it."

也许他自己个人的三观确实不被很多人接受...

但是，他敬佩亚洲人： "Those Oriental people work like dogs. They work their hearts out. They are workers non-stop. They sleep beside their machines. That's why they're successful in life. I went to Seoul, South Korea, I went to Taipei, Taiwan. I went to Tokyo, Japan. That's why these people are so hard workers (sic). I'm telling you, the Oriental people, they're slowly taking over."（他之后因为用了“Oriental”这个词而道歉）

最重要的是，他是一位真正做实事的好市长...

"the people said they wanted change and they got change"

1. 他取消了$60的汽车牌登记费

真心是件履行竞选承诺的大实事！只能说谢谢。
 
2. 他负责了重新创建TCHC board。

Toronto Community Housing Corporation一直很腐败，并且很多社区的业主都很不满意。

3. 他私有化了城市垃圾的部分pickup

Humber River到Yonge街的西边，城市垃圾的pickup被私有化了。

4. 将TTC变成了一项至关重要的服务

在Ford的任期内，安省政府通过了一项条例，禁止多伦多交通罢工。因为交通罢工会导致城市经济每天损失$50 million。

5. 减少议员办公室来缩减开销

Ford将城市的开销从$2.7-million缩减到$2-million，共节约了$899,580。市政council投票同意减少议员的办公室开销，从$50,445减少到$30,000。 
 
"all this office budget stuff is self-promotion to benefit yourself. Why should the taxpayers have to pay for it? It boggles my mind."

最后...

他曾说过，2018年还会再来竞选多伦多市长。
