The Dixie Chicks take aim at Toronto Mayor Rob Ford

The Dixie Chicks are not ready to make nice with Rob Ford. The "Not Ready to Make Nice" singers poked fun at Toronto's controversial mayor over the weekend during the Hamilton, Ont., stop of their Long Time Gone tour.

On Saturday night, lead singer Natalie Maines brought up Ford after telling the Copps Coliseum crowd that she had read a survey claiming Canadians are some of the happiest people in the world. She took the opportunity to do some good-natured teasing of the Toronto mayor, who is currently embroiled in several scandals, including his recent admission that he smoked crack during a "drunken stupor."

"You seem a lot less happy since all this stuff with Mayor Ford went down," Maines said, according to the Hamilton Spectator. "Surprisingly, knowing that Canada has a little political controversy makes me happy."

The 39-year-old songstress then went on to dedicate the band's song "Sin Wagon" to the beleaguered politico.

"Wherever Mayor Ford is tonight, whatever he's smoking, we send this song out to him," Maines said.

This is not the first time the country singer has made a controversial statement onstage. Back in 2003, she infamously attacked President Bush for starting the Iraq War. "We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas," Maines said at one of their London gigs.

Following her comments, Maines received death threats, and a number of American radio stations boycotted the band's music. Subsequently, the Dixie Chicks suffered low ticket sales in the U.S. for their 2006 Accidents and Accusations tour (a show in Memphis was cancelled entirely). But Canada picked up the slack, with a second date added in Toronto after the first show reportedly sold out in under 10 minutes.

"Canada loves the Chicks," the Air Canada Center booking director told Billboard at the time. We sure do!
