Torontonians weigh in: Rob Ford guilty or not of conflict of interest?

Posted By: Siobhan Morris · 11/26/2012 12:05:00 AM

It's decision day for Rob Ford.

The judge in the mayor's conflict of interest case will make his ruling at 10am Monday.

But if it were up to the people of Toronto, what would the verdict be?

The answer depends on where in the city you go.  Newstalk 1010's Siobhan Morris found most people she talked to at Yonge & Carlton had followed the case closely & thought Rob Ford was guilty.

Outside an Etobicoke grocery store, most people didn't seem especially aware of the case.  Some even admitted to tuning out any scandal involving the mayor.  One man who did follow the case closely insists the mayor did nothing wrong.

If Charles Hackland decides Rob Ford did break the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, Ford could ultimately be kicked out office.

So who would Torontonians like to replace Ford as mayor if that happens?

Every person stopped at Yonge & Carlton dropped Toronto MP Olivia Chow's name.  Councillors Adam Vaughan & Kristyn Wong-Tam were also mentioned.  In Etobicoke, Doug Ford & ex-mayor David Miller were floated as candidates to replace Rob Ford.

    This wasn't a trial - it was a lynching for Pete's sake. If politicians are to be held accountable for squandering taxpayers money, why are Dalton, George, etc, etc, still in office? Politicians are into politics for their own gain, period. They're filthy, rotten, lying, stealing thiefs.
