One thing to remember during this whole Toronto mayoral kerfuffle…

…is how much we pay Rob Ford to do his job. Or not do it:

His 2012 salary was $167,770, not including $1,169.22 of taxable benefits. He’s making nearly 170 grand for a job that a former staffer says he showed up for at 11 a.m. and left at 3 or 4 p.m..

You can look it up in the Ontario government’s “sunshine list”, which lists the salaries of all public employees who make more than “a hundred large”. And yes, Rob Ford is a public employee: he works for us. And it’s time we fired him.
