I heard a good segment on Rob Ford. A couple interviews with people gave me the impression he was someone who gave a shit. A rare quality these days.

Ford gained loyal supporters, nicknamed 'Ford Nation,' through his particular brand of retail politics. Green describes a time when Ford was her city councillor. The wheelchair ramps on the sidewalks near her home were damaged by construction, making it impossible for her to get to her pharmacy.
He would take time. And he remembered you.
- Joy Green, Rob Ford supporter
She called Ford and "He spoke to me personally. Not some secretary or assistant. Rob Ford got on the phone and listened to what I had to say." She says he called her back shortly after their first call, and told her the problem would be fixed in half an hour. It was: "That earns my loyalty, and my respect," says Green.

Rob Ford was a politician who connected with people on a personal level instead of hiding behind a Twitter account whining like a bitch like Don Iveson and Naheed Nenshi.
