Councillor Ford: Ford and Joe Killoran

councillor ford: That is the upshot of yet another logic-defying scrum with Councillor Ford, the mayor's brother and campaign manager, according to NOW Magazine. Mayor Ford returned on Monday from a 60-day leave of absence to deal with his substance abuse issues. Namely, he believes doesn't necessarily have to do with race, and that Rob Ford is a victim of it. On Tuesday he attended at an East York Canada Day parade where he was angrily confronted by a shirtless jogger named Joe Killoran, who asked the mayor about his homophobic and racist comments, general dishonesty, and alleged conflicts of interest in a video that has since gone viral. Doug's unfounded allegation came after reporters asked him when the public can expect the mayor to fully address his bigoted comments, which by now are well documented, including in a Toronto Star article that quoted the mayor as rattling off a string of ethnic slurs and boasting, I'm the most racist guy around. Speaking to reporters at City Hall on Wednesday, Doug accused Killoran of uttering a racial slur at the mayor, even though video of the encounter doesn't show Killoran using any racist remarks.
