Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington, (a good reporter in Y+R's view) called the mayor in Florida and was told the account of the 911 call as described in The Star is wrong. Joe obviously has good relations with the mayor and also interviewed brother Doug. While it's not cool in some circles to be calling 911 regarding family quarrels, someone at the police or 911 has it in for the mayor. This episode is shaping up as a very personal matter. While the mayor is not a character who appeals to all (likely to no one at Y+R), he was elected by a significant majority. Such is democracy.
Here is an excerpt from Joe Warmington's column:
“We have had a great couple of days down here,” he (Mayor Ford) said of he and his
young children Stephanie and Douglas. “There’s no problem at all.”
His brother Doug, who was with the mayor in Florida and like him,
returned home Friday, said “Rob was not drinking as reported. It’s just
inaccurate.”
In fact, a source close to the investigation told me that while alcohol was an issue none was consumed by the mayor.
“You think (the Toronto Police) would have let him leave with his children if he had been drinking?” said the source. “No way.”
