‘Honest and frank’ or deceitful – who is the real Mayor Rob Ford?
Three appellate judges in Rob Ford’s conflict of interest trial heard lawyers give two vastly different descriptions of the mayor on Monday. One, of a Ford who is “honest and frank,” the other of a mayor who is willfully blind to the law and “playing” the judges and the public.
“He’s just playing with you,” said lawyer Clayton Ruby, representing Paul Magder, the citizen who launched the legal challenge against Ford.
The remark came after Ruby read sections of the mayor’s testimony in the initial trial, in which he pledged to abide by the conflict of interest law, despite never having read it. He’d also said he believed he understood it because his father was an MPP.
