A video posted online is found showing one of the Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s top aides, David Price, berating a transit employee and slamming a door at the Georgetown GO station. The video recorded by the owner of a café inside the station, Marc Surette, shows Price getting angry at a station attendant at the ticket counter after having missed a morning train on Aug. 27. Price tells the attendant to “f— off” and storms out of the station, shoving open the door and damaging it in the process.

The video was initially viewed and reported by several media sources in mid-September, though Surette refrained from releasing it publicly at the time since Metrolinx was investigating the incident of Aug. 27. In a statement issued by Metrolinx last week, it announced having issued Price with an oral caution instructing him that abusive behaviour towards its employees will not be tolerated. Apart from that, the provincial transit agency has clarified that it has no jurisdiction over the damaged door as the station is owned by Via Rail.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford hired Mr. Price, his former high school football coach and a longtime family friend, in April to the position of mayor’s director of operations and logistics, i.e. a promotion position with an estimated $130,000-a-year salary. Price was subjected to a Metrolinx investigation after it had received complaints about him dating back to November 2012, and upon inquiry about the news from Mayor Ford said he does not “comment on personnel issues.”
