Rob Ford was a drunken, crack smoking clown.
.
But that wasn`t his chief attraction.
.
His election, and the immediate cancellation of `transit city` on the first day in office was worth much more than $1 billion in sales to Big Oil.
.
Four years (and more) of delay on building transit will continue to pay dividends for the oil companies decades into the future.
.
Apparently John Tory hasn`t been doing enough to obstruct the construction of transit.
.
Rob Ford`s chief attraction was that he was an obedient puppet.
All of his policy positions, no matter how wacky, ended up being aligned with exactly what the oil companies wanted.
.
What a coincidence.
