Doug Ford: Budget Committee

Lunch Break Dept: The radio station 680 News captured Doug Ford s comment on tape. Asked about it during the budget committee s lunch break, Ford said, I didn t say Get a job, not at all. Show me on tape when I said that. Told that reporters had listened to the tape, he did not respond; a security guard then escorted him out of the committee room, according to The Star. In 2002, he told an OCAP protester, "Do you have a job, sir? I'll give you a newspaper to find a job, like everyone else has to do between 9 and 5." After Ontario Coalition Against Poverty protesters stormed a meeting of city council s budget committee Thursday morning, committee vice-chair Doug Ford told a confrontational protester to get a job echoing comments his brother, Mayor Rob Ford, made to OCAP protesters during similar City Hall demonstrations in 2002 and 2005. When OCAP protesters stormed a council meeting in 2005, then-councillor Rob Ford said, I'm working. Why don't you get a job? As reported in the news.
