Toronto Mayor Rob Ford will eventually speak publicly for the first time since his astonishingly confessed having had smoked crack cocaine last week. The Mayor is planned to address the city’s Remembrance Day ceremony, where he will deliver main remarks at the Old City Hall cenotaph on Monday morning after two minutes of silence, a flypast by vintage aircraft, reveille and a hymn.
Even though several councillors have alleged that they think that Mr. Ford should not attend the ceremony, Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly claims that it is symbolically important for the city’s mayor to be there. He stated that “this is a very solemn ceremony. I don’t think it’s a place where you discharge your personal feelings or take the travails of the political system into that context.” Mr. Kelly added that “I think this is a time where we step down or step aside from that conflict and join each other into a solemn remembrance of the sacrifice that others have made so that we can enjoy the system that we have today.”
Mr. Kelly confessed that he believes Mayor Ford has had “a lot of soul-searching” over the weekend. He claims to have met him twice late last week, and reports that his body language had changed. He explained that “I had a feeling that it was finally sinking in, this need to understand the issues, to understand the feeling that’s out there among so many people. So I think he is beginning to come to grips with the situation he’s in personally and politically.”
