Rob Ford isn’t asked tough questions, but doesn’t really tell the truth anyway

The Toronto Sun recently sat down for an interview with Rob Ford, which presented a good opportunity for the paper to ask some tough questions (it didn’t) and, apparently, for the mayor to recycle his talking points from 2010 (he did).

Ford had a similarly friendly interview with CP24’s Stephen LeDrew last week, with LeDrew serving up softballs and Ford swinging for the fences.
