It’s Fake Patois Day in Toronto! [Updated]


Rob Ford started it with his (apparently) drunk fake patois rant about the chief of police caught on video, and I decided to join in with a very short little ditty. Why should His Worship have all the fun?

Mark McKinney does a better fake accent in this episode of The Kids in the Hall in the disturbingly amusing “Sex Girl Patrol” skit (it starts at 13:10):

Toronto’s most famous white guy doing patois remains our one hit ’90s hip-hop wonder, Snow, and his one hit, Informer. Licky-boom-boom-do-own!

I’ve got to mention Adam Sandler’s reggae number, Piece of Shit Car:

Rob Ford, for all his “Aw, shucks, I’m just an average guy like you” posturing is a millionaire and owns a handful of condos in Florida, despite not having put much work into the family business. It’s only fitting that we dedicate Lonely Islands’s Ras Trent, a song about a spoiled white fake rasta to the mayor:

How could I forget Snow? Thanks to Emmett Plant for the reminder.
