The mayor’s brother, Doug Ford, has made a statement in which he said his brother calls the crack coaine charges “untrue” and that he believes his brother. Doug Ford then began an extensive attack on the Toronto Star and the media in general. The councillor’s performance has flabbergasted members of council. Friends of the mayor are saying the content and tone of Doug Ford’s remarks are unforunate and unhelpful. Jaye Robinson (Ward 25) who in the past has been a frequent ally of the mayor, said she could not remain silent any longer. She said it was time the city heard from the mayor himself, not “his big brother.” Some say the events of today portend a collapse of such remaining goodwill that exists for the mayor. CTV
