Whether Rob Ford should resign as mayor

                   During the time of Rob Ford’s event happens, more and more people start to pay attention on a question whether Rob should resign as mayor. Rob Ford is the mayor of Toronto, and he is also the party of this event. Recently, a video was released by the Toronto Star which showing an inebriated Ford in an obscenity-laced rant added to calls for the mayor to step down or aside.( 2nd paragraph of Rob Ford scandal: How Toronto city council could strip his power). People also noticed that the mayor was used to buy and take crack cocaine as well as for writing a letter of reference for "an alleged drug dealer" on city letterhead. ( 2nd paragraph of Rob Ford ready to face motion calling for him to take leave) Those things made the citizen not only suspect the ability of mayor but angry as well. Councilors decided to give a temporary break to Rob, and used the time to solve problems.

Mayor is the manager of a city, and he’s also a leader. People selected him to serve the city, and figure out the problems for them. However, if mayor cannot make a good model for his citizen, it would give the city negative influences. Without the care of mayor, the financial of the city would drop quickly, the people become lazy, more and more criminal would occur. As a mayor, Rob is a certainly bad model of Toronto. He didn’t make the responsibly of the city, and did lots of bad behaviors. However, the most serious thing that he did is he took the drug which is illegal in the law. Though he has already apologized about the event, it still cannot get rid of the things that he did. Therefore, the people would not allow him to resign as mayor.
