TORONTO – Mayor Rob Ford can’t seem to please anyone these days, even with those at a rehab facility he’s in, after being reprimanded for speaking to the Toronto Sun while seeking treatment for alcohol abuse.
“I got into major s— for talking to you, so I can’t talk to you,” Ford told Toronto Sun‘s Joe Warmington.
The mayor got into hot water with staff at the treatment centre after making comments to the newspaper about his “amazing” rehab experience and how is continuing to field calls from his constituents.
