Mayor of Toronto removed from office by a judge – for using city letterhead for his charity
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford vows to fight to keep his job

“I’m going to fight tooth and nail to hold on to my job,” Ford said after a judge ordered him removed from office for a conflict of interest.
This seems shocking, because whatever he’s done otherwise, this incident is trivial. The video makes the point that he was elected democratically by popular vote, but a judge actually goes against that and removes him from office.
Was he too “conservative” for some people?
Who still thinks that elected politicians are in charge?
Status of his case as of Jan 15, 2013:
