In his daring remarks today, Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong revealed that a consensus is developing among all councilors that Mayor Rob Ford shall immediately announce leave of absence or else the council will come into action to “show him the door” in case he ignores the call. Talking to reporters on Thursday, Minnan-Wong stated that “it seems to me that there is a consensus that the mayor needs to take a leave of absence, even his closest allies are advising him of that,” adding that “he doesn’t seem to be listening.”
Ford startled the city this week when he publicly confessed having had smoked crack cocaine since being elected mayor. Even though he was being asked questions and accused of using the drugs for months, he completely denied the existence of the video until now. Toronto Police Chief, Bill Blair, announced a few days ago that his force has acquired the alleged video recording, which Ford later requested him to release publicly.
Minnan-Wong has openly warned Ford that in case he does not takes the advice to take a leave following his drug use admission, the councillor will amend a forthcoming motion to ask the province to step in and force the mayor out. He threatened that “I will be amending my motion such that if the mayor decides not to take a leave of absence, that I will be requesting council to petition the province to have him removed from office.” He mentioned in an annoyed tone that “we have told him that he needs to find the exit. He doesn’t seem to be listening.”
