No Ford-Wynne Super Bowl hangout

Posted By: Siobhan Morris · 2/3/2013 3:22:00 PM

Rob Ford won't be splitting a plate of chicken wings with Ontario Liberal leader Kathleen Wynne after all.

The mayor revealed on Newstalk 1010's The City he'd invited the Premier-designate to a Super Bowl bash at councillor Norm Kelly's house.

Ford says "hopefully she'll take me up on the offer".

But a spokesperson for Wynne told Newstalk 1010 late Sunday afternoon "she's spending some quality time with her family and grand kids."

Ford says he extended the invitation to Wynne during a "great" phone conversation Friday.

In an e-mail, Wynne's spokesperson writes "The Premier-designate and Mayor Ford talked about the Super Bowl during a phone call on Friday. She asked him if he and his brother had a friendly bet on the game as the two teams are also coached by brothers."

Kathleen Wynne will be sworn is as Ontario's 1st female Premier & Canada' first openly provincial leader February 11th.

    I still think he should have gone to the pride parade. A small, simple gesture goes a long way towards creating respect. 1 day out of a summer not at the cottage surely wouldn't have inflicted hardship on him or his family.

    As for Ford & Wynne, I'm sure they're pretty familiar with each other given their backgrounds in Toronto politics.
