Anton Oreh: "Protection from fools"

“But you can look at the matter from the other side. Rob Ford became mayor at a time when Toronto was already a thriving metropolis. And under his leadership, nothing terrible happened to the city. That is, in this Canada and in this Toronto, such a management system was created , a system of institutions of power and public control over life, such that the appearance of even the most daring dude in the main city post does not lead to collapse.

When the system works, it creates foolproof protection. Even from the biggest fool. By the way, the Toronto City Council, while unable to oust the mayor, nevertheless managed to significantly limit his powers and thereby demonstrated a real system of checks and balances, separation of powers and the like."
