This week, Rolo Tony returns to guide us through a retrospective on the late, great, Patois-speaking, crack-smoking, former Toronto "Mayor of Mayhem" Rob Ford. A man of immense stature, a true giant; he left a MASSIVE hole in the great STATE of Canada. A trailblazer, Rob showed us the blueprint to Donald Trump, years before he ran for POTUS. But Rob was versatile, he ate outside the box, and yet could not be put IN a box; he was an enigma. Nor was he just a proto-Trump; he embodied traits that we would later attribute to Elon Musk and Hunter Biden. He was a formative figure and a flawed man, but ultimately, his feux-populism contributed, if not paved the way for the situation we all currently find ourselves in politically.
