Toronto Mayor Says He Voted The Wrong Way: ‘I Was Only Stretching’
Rob Ford didn’t mean to vote against honoring Toronto’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes, so he asked to have the vote reopened so he could change his vote.
The Toronto mayor on Wednesday cast the sole “no” vote on a City Council motion to offer the athletes kudos. Minutes earlier, he also was the only council member to vote against a proposal to name a Toronto street after the late Nelson Mandela.
Ford asked for a re-vote on both motions a half-hour later but was denied.
