The only average guy : inside the uncommon world of Rob Ford / John Filion. by Filion, John, 1950- Random House Canada, [2015] Call #: 971.3541 F711f Subjects Ford, Rob, 1969-2016.   Mayors -- Ontario -- Toronto -- Biography.   City council members -- Ontario -- Toronto -- Biography.   Municipal officials and employees -- Biography.   Municipal government -- Canada -- Biography.   Politicians -- Canada -- Biography.   Scandals -- Ontario -- Toronto.   Toronto (Ont.) -- Politics and government -- 21st century. ISBN:  9780345815996 (hc.) 0345815998 (hc.) Description:  359 pages ; 24 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "Reveals what drives Rob Ford and the many voters who steadfastly support him. Eye-opening and at times frightening, this book cuts through the uproar that followed Ford everywhere, peeling back the layers of an extremely complicated man, weaving together the personal and political stories, explaining how Ford's tragic weaknesses helped propel him to power before leading to his inevitable failure. The book also explains the growing North American phenomenon by which angry voters are attracted to outspoken candidates flaunting outrageous flaws. For fifteen years, Toronto city councillor John Filion sat just two seats away from the wildly unpredictable councillor from Etobicoke, who served as mayor from 2010 to 2014. They formed an unlikely camaraderie that allowed the author to look beyond Rob's red-faced persona, seeing a boy still longing for the approval of his father, struggling with the impossible expectations of a family that fancied itself a political dynasty"--Provided by publisher.
