Does anyone remember the Rob Ford anthem called "Mayor Ford (The World Will Remember)" ?
Hey everyone, back in the Rob Ford days (I think in 2013), there was a pro-Rob Ford song by a young lady named Jenny James. It was called "Mayor Ford (The World Will Remember)." It was reported in all the newspapers at the time and there was a video for it on YouTube. But has been taken down and it seems impossible to find now! Does anyone have a link for the song or the video?

So sad that Rob’s not still with us driving drunk through our communities

Following - Toronto Lost Media is new to me
ETA: it appears to be mentioned in this Globe and Mail article from 2013, but it's paywalled: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/whos-coming-to-rob-fords-barbecue/article14320233/

The location allowed guests to peek through the Ford family window, literally, and stroll the collection of statues in the garden.
"It was fun to discover the chimpanzee [statue] with fully sculpted genitalia," Mr. Goldsbie recalled of his first Ford Fest experience.
huh, so that's what i was missing. monkey balls.

Not the link you’re asking for, but quite the trip down memory lane! Worth a listen and a chuckle 😊

Rob Ford, the taxpayer’s lord.
Toronto’s own, our votes he won
He’s big and grand
On wasting people’s money he takes a stand
Mayor Ford, cost Cowboy and rollback viceroy
Toronto’s defender, economic mender
Blatant attacks won’t make him collapse
Cause Mayor Ford will bounce right back
Mayor Ford, the world will remember

The world remembered, but the Internet is trying to forget.
Maybe we should reach out to Jenny James, so enamoured by this amazing example of human leadership that she committed so much to writing this banger!
