QUOTED: Rob Ford, on the loss of his favourite TCHC executive ever

–Rob Ford, proving that no political situation is too complex to reduce to a sports metaphor. In the days since Toronto’s ombudsman released her damaging report on hiring and firing practices at the Toronto Community Housing Corporation under now-former CEO (and Ford ally) Gene Jones, Ford has repeatedly tried to discredit her, at one point suggesting that her office be eliminated.
