Racist? Perhaps, but his statements *are* dumb, dumb and dumb (last I checked, Toronto or any city for that matter doesn't have the right to dicate who moves there).

The suburbanites (or those with revenge on their minds: When Ford wins, I will relish the dismay in hippie land.

At Tuesday's CP24 mayoral debate Rob Ford made his latest controversial statement. "We can't even deal with the 2.5 million people in this city. It's more important that we take care of the people now before we start bringing in more," he remarked when the candidates were probed about their opinions regarding the recent Tamil migrants who arrived on Canada's west coast this last week.

Let us recall his comment that "Orientals work like dogs," or the misinformed notion that "If you are not doing needles and you are not gay, you wouldn't get AIDS probably, that's the bottom line"?
