...I coach my daughter’s soccer team and I’m able to catch my son’s events as well, and that was something I couldn’t do as mayor.

—Former mayor David Miller, in response to a question from the Toronto Standard about whether he is enjoying life as a private citizen. His answer sounds straightforward enough—until we consider that most of the city’s news media are hotly contesting whether Rob Ford is able to handle both coaching football and being mayor. (Not to mention that Miller has a history of taking jabs at the man who replaced him.) [Toronto Standard]
