Paul Ainslie (Ward 43) has called Mayor Ford a “bully and liar” for the mayor’s decision to “carpet bomb” the councillor’s ward with robo-calls. Ainslie defended his vote against the most recent subway plan calling it “not transparent” as to financing. It is at this point that many citizens will plead insufficient knowledge to make a decision on how to judge Mr. Ainslie for that. What most people probably can say is that the Mr. Ford’s recorded calls to thousands of Scarobrough residents seems, legal or otherwise, like cheap politics. The mayor has many ways to be heard and in this matter he was on the winning side at council. The suppertime calls to criticize Ainslie seem like overkill. And they were no doubt intrusive.
