Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford dies

Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has died after battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

[@jugglingisgreat]

As a lifelong Torontonian, I find it odd that CNN doesn't report all the amazing things Mr. Ford did for us. He stood up for the tax payers and tried to help the people, and most interestingly returned EVERY phone call he received PERSONALLY, which I know for a fact from experience. He was truly a great mayor, and I hope his brother Doug runs next time around. RIP Mayor Ford.

He's gone to the great crackhouse in the sky. May he tweak in peace.

[@skyelarmurray467]

He may have had personal issues, but who doesn’t? He was a good man, who served the city with more competence and loyalty than any mayor ever would or could. Bless his soul.

As someone from Toronto I can honestly say this city loved him. He did a lot of good here. As for the more controversial aspect, let me just say, that for someone who was that out of it, he did a fantastic job running this City. RIP ROB FORD

[@epicchocolate1866]

I felt bad about his death until I heard he said mayor of Canada. And his daughter said mayor of heaven that is just ridiculous

[@evakarin21]

Epic Chocolate I don't understand why people are picking apart a eulogy given by a little ten year old girl who's grieving the death of her father. She can say whatever she wants at her fathers funeral.

Oh wow. Did not see this coming. He was a troubled man but I did not wish him death. RIP

[@perfectpurchase7046]

It's sad the way CNN reflect all the bad part of his life. He did a lot for the city of Toronto. Why not show all the positive things that he accomplished. RIP... Fordnation for life.

[@ToothpickTony2]

The only mayor Toronto ever had that gave back to the community in my lifetime ... had local BBQ's feeding the poorest people the best cuts of meat flame cooked to perfection (rich food) .. not leftovers or processed donation food..... I met him once at a Park - BBQ burgers free for everyone there... Even if He smoked crack his whole life ... It only proves that even a crackhead can do better than all prior mayors ever did... and from the looks of things - ever will do. He was the best Mayor Toronto ever had ... Unlike prior mayors that used their power to make money, establish themselves etc... He wanted the football team he was coaching to get extra funding as well as sports programs all across the City ... He truly wanted the best for "everyone" ... What made him happy was making others happy ... He was a good man. RIP

+Cee L yeah keep telling it to yourself till you start believing your own BS, The video is uploaded by CNN by the way. They must be Muslims to delete your BS Ant-Islamic bias sources you find on Internet. Most of islamohoobs read the Quran translation but out of context never the full Chapter and true meaning of that verses. You people think you know the Quran in 5 seconds copy and past while muslims scholars and not biast western Arabist studied the Quran for years to know each chapter an verse and meaning of it. Just as you have to go to learn the Jewish Torah and bible. Just because you can Read and Quote something doesnt make you a expert in that field.

+Yassine IJassin he knows he never raped. He follows the media thinking Mohamed raped a 9 year old. Just ignore media followers.

[@yassineijassin4076]

+Cee L You know nothing about Aisha, Aisha was extremely scholarly and inquisitive. Her contribution to the spread of Muhammad's [peace be upon him] message was extraordinary, and she served the Muslim community for 44 years after his death. She is also known for narrating 2210 hadith, not just on matters related to Muhammad's private life, but also on topics such inheritance, pilgrimage, eschatology, among other subjects. She was highly regarded for her intellect and knowledge in various fields, including poetry and medicine, which received plenty of praise by early luminaries, such as the historian Al-Zuhri and her student Urwa ibn al-Zubayr.

[@yicui1114]

CNN I'm quite disappointed in the way you decided to run this clip. Forget about being Torontonians. This has much more to do with being humanitarians. If there was a personal agenda, deal with it professionally. However to critically criticize someone's mistakes by referring to other media sources. Just so the person sounds even more horrible is one thing. But to do this after is death of fighting cancer? Wow.. hope it was worth it CNN.
