Former Toronto Mayor Dies -Avery Yoss 4th
Just recently, one of Toronto's previous mayors died. His name was Rob Ford. He had been part of the government for many years, serving as a city councilor for 10 years before he was even elected to be mayor. He did have some problems while serving as mayor because a video was leaked of him supposedly using crack cocaine. He died of cancer and Canada has been honoring his death.
I find it odd that Canada has been speaking of Ford so kindly even though his video went viral of him doing an illegal task. But it is still nice to honor the dead. Very interesting and sad.

I have heard of Ford a few times in my life because of all the bad choices he makes. I, too, am surprised that they are so devastated over his death.
