"You are actually beholding an ideology when you say that a person's belief system should prevent them from holding a position such as mayor. Should an outspoken transvestite Muslim be prevented from being mayor? Then for the same reason a person who's the polar opposite shouldn't either! Freedom goes BOTH ways."

A person's belief system should indeed be a factor in the ability to be Mayor if it shows that they will be biased in their decision making. Ford has stated that he doesn't want any more new immigrants to move into TO. 'We should look after the folks we have' or something like that. He has also made generalizations about Asian folks ('Orientals'). Closed minded and ignorant attitudes are absolutely relevant characteristics.

BTW, for the record, I don't actually believe that Ford is a racist, he's just stupid.
