Let's see, an outsider candidate unsupported by the media and political elites, running on a take back cityhall for the regular guy/stop the government waste platform rides what could be described as a grassroots movement into the top spot in Canada's largest city against some very well connected political opponents and some want to declare that a failure of democracy? What???

You may not like Rob Ford and his values or you may simply view him as some sort of ridiculous cartoon character unfit to be Mayor, but declaring his election proof that democracy is broken is simply BS. We need more candidates to get elected the way Rob Ford did… they just need better ideas and more mental firepower than he wields.
