      According to several reports, an irate citizen has demanded Toronto mayor Rob Ford immediately resign—or see City Hall blown up.

      That's the latest piece of news from the whirling dervish that is the life of Mr. Ford.

      Both Ford and his brother Doug allegedly received the threat via email last night.

      In the poorly spelled and grammatically incorrect note, the letter-writer complains about the chaos the Ford brothers have brought to municipal politics, giving the pair both 12 and 24 hours to "VACATGE" city hall—"NO FUSS, NO ARGUMENT NO WHINNING NO NOTHING".

      The note also alleges that a bomb has already been primed at Toronto City Hall.

      Police officers are on scene investigating the legitimacy of the threat; however, city hall has not yet been evacuated.

      When somebody makes homophobic remarks at Spencer Herbert's office and he runs to the media that is treated as the crime of the century; fat right-wing nutcase Rob Ford runs to the media about a bomb threat and get treated somewhat differently. Pathetic. Politicians of all stripes are media hungry scumbags out for votes whatever reason they contact the media, sadly the media only treat a few with the derision they merit.

      Canada. Rob Ford is the least of our concerns...which is saying a lot about the state of the nation. I'm sure we all agree with the sentiment-that we need to be free of anything Ford-entitled and addicted. However, the lack of writing skills reveals we have a mass issue of illiteracy here.

      “Reveals”, or “claims”? His unilateral decision to publicize this letter (while claiming he “doesn't want people to panic”) makes it sound more like a publicity stunt than anything else.

      Hey, does anybody know what Dave from Etobicoke's been up to lately?

      ANOTHER INSULT - -HIS REHAB/SPA WAS A JOKE.
      A HUGE INSULT TO REAL SOBRIETY FOUND BY HARD WORK AND HONESTY.
