Ford Votes ‘No’ on Congratulating Olympians

Associated Press: “What could be controversial about the city of Toronto congratulating Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes?”

“Ask Rob Ford. The Toronto mayor on Wednesday cast the sole “no” vote on a City Council motion to offer the athletes kudos. Minutes earlier, he also was the only council member to vote against a proposal to name a Toronto street after the late Nelson Mandela.”

“Ford asked for a re-vote on both motions a half-hour later but was denied.”
