Drawing on a wealth of articles written by by National Post journalists including Christie Blatchford, Jonathan Kay, Andrew Coyne, Chris Selley and more, How Rob Ford Happened examines the precipitous rise and calamitous fall of one of the most controversial public figures in Canadian political history. From his early days as a crusading suburban city councillor to his reign as Mayor of Toronto and his eventual crowning as the city’s clown prince, the National Post presents a history of Rob Ford with all the warning signs, red flags, enthusiasms, controversies and scandals that have led to our current mayoral mess.
