Rob Ford, Toronto's mayor has admitted to smoking crack and consuming Alcohol in large portions. Ford was stripped of most of his remaining powers as mayor on Monday. Ford has taken court action and said the only judgment he should face is that of the voters at the ballot box next year. Late Monday night Ford said he has not touched any kind of drug or alcohol in three weeks and plans never to again. Do you think he will never touch beer or drugs again? Do you think he should be stripped of power?

Good job!
I feel that he wont if he loves his job enough. I think just because he made some mistakes that he should have a second chance. So if he doesn't chance his life around then he is out.
He doesn't seem trustworthy... Only three weeks... that's not very reassuring... I think it should be up to the citizens of Toronto to decide whether or not to strip him of his powers...
I think the people should decide also what to do with him. I think most of them would not like or encourage the fact that he smoke that kind of substance.
Three weeks? That's not very long or promising. I wouldn't trust him. He should be stripped of any and all power and be forbidden from running for mayor again. He betrayed his people's trust by contaminating himself with illegal substance.
I agree totally. He did not set an example to people that look up to him and like you said he used illegal drugs. your write about three weeks is not very long, but i have to give him some kind of support because its a start, and hopefully he stays Sober.
