Ford may have done something wrong, but the effort it takes to remove someone from office is usually nullified by the fact that their poor performance will remind voters right into the next election of why *not* to vote for this guy or his viewpoint.
Toronto has the benefits of a weak mayoral system here: he's already decapitated in a political sense. He has no effective power on most important issues of the day, and he'll ride into the election of 2014 in two years as a dead on arrival candidate. His pig-headedness will probably keep him running for office, and the right wingers that form his base will still vote for him, but lets not forget: Ford ran on a platform of NO CUTS while complaining about the gravy train. He lied to get into office, he's a liar in office, and he'll be a liar right into the end when Toronto voters send him packing in 2014.
No need for a recall, his freak show will guarantee his end and the city council won't give him any power to effectively do anything for the next two years.
