In a whopping 38-4 vote, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was removed of his political power by the Toronto City Council. You'd think it'd take it well, but nope. He said they were basically starting a war, saying "You attacked Kuwait."
On top of that, during the vote, he charged and bowled over one of the councillors for no apparent reason.
Now, I lived in Toronto when he was voted into office. I'm honestly not usually one to vote, but I sure as hell voted against this asshole back then. He was an arrogant, bombastic bully back then and he's just gotten worse since. He's a PR nightmare for the city and the country, giving us all a bad name. He's one of the most unprofessional politicians I've ever witnessed, with one incident after another. Even before he became an international household name, I've seen countless incidents involving him and his bullying behaviour.
I'm glad he's finally out of office, at least in terms of power, but it's sad that the council was forced to take it this far. He should've just stepped down, but of course, that would mean he'd have to step off his ego for a moment, too.
