Rob Ford began his mayoral campaign with the public learning that he had beaten his wife and been charged for it, twice.

This same boor now wants to do as much damage as possible to Toronto, including cutting funding for the Arts, which is on the agenda with right-wing governments, closing and privatizing as many services and attractions as possible.

A Councillor in Ford's government, Frances Nunziata, wants to shut down Toronto Animal Services (TAS), yet another essential service here in the city of Toronto to be axed adding the growing list of services slated for removal, all in the so-called name of savings.

I was not aware that the mayor also wants to close the Zoo, which may seem great, but the fact is, many of the animals will have no where to go, and the cost of relocating those who will be given new refuge will be huge, and so many and will be left stranded.

In keeping with Ford’s blatant homophobia, he does not want to give funding to AIDS foundations, and among the many, many atrocities listed in a very detailed article in The National Post, he wants to remove “last resort” dental care for those in dire, financial need.

Here's the report:

Ford's totalitarian desire to privatize most major services and attractions in the city is not only disturbing, but very dangerous for the health, well-being and overall strength of the city’s morale.

From the desire to privatize our TTC, to the new issue of wanting to close or privatize Toronto Public Libraries is a very frightening prospect for Toronto.

Once government-run services are made private, by greedy, misguided politicians, a city looses its democracy, it looses its identity and will become just like an American ghetto- where corrupt governments seek to maintain a very distinct “us” versus “them” ethos, and, essential services fall to the way side.

In the latest not shocking, but disgusting acts from the mayor, he gave the finger to a mother and her daughter who disapproved of his talking on his cell phone, by giving him the thumbs down, while he was driving.

In short, Rob Ford wants to turn Toronto into a third world city, where only the wealthy will be able to afford most services that we have all been either able to afford or have been assisted with through government funding which is why we all pay taxes.

This is unacceptable!
We, the undersigned Torontonians call for the immediate impeachment of Rob Ford.
