Compared to Canada it seems kind of absurd to me how much power mayors in the US seem to have

Idk, as an American Doug Ford seemed to have a lot of power when he was mayor. And now as ~~governor~~ premier he's overriding the Constitution (notwithstanding) or maybe I'm misunderstanding

Doug Ford was not the mayor of Toronto. It was Rob Ford, his brother that was the mayor.

OH right! It was his crack smoking brother Rob that was the mayor. I always forget that Doug lost that election in 14

Thank you
