Not sure he was kicked out. He was running for re-election as mayor, when he had to stop/suspend his campaign because of his cancer.

He died shortly thereafter.

Council was gunning for him, but there really was nothing they could do

It was so strange (I was in GTA at the time) — yes I recall him saying not only would he not step down but he declared his candidacy. I SO wanted to get a “Ford for Mayor” button or sticker but he ended his candidacy before I could.

>>He died shortly thereafter.<<

I didn’t know that had happened until I did a Google search for this thread. Sad — that dude had stones if nothing else. As polarizing as Trump if people want a comparison.

It was so strange coming home to California (I think that was when I was there) and seeing Ford on the front pages of OUR papers too LOL.

RIP.
