Toronto’s embattled Mayor, Rob Ford, encountered several hecklers as he marched in a Canada Day parade in the city’s east end, a day after his official return from a stint in rehab.
One heckler in particular repeatedly called Ford a racist and a homophobe, as he spotted the scandal-plagued Toronto mayor on a shirtless jog.
Joe Killoran, a high school teacher who has written at least a few newspaper op-eds on educational issues, was the jogger who gave the mayor a piece of his mind.
CBC News reports:
Ford was at one point confronted by local resident Joe Killoran — a Toronto-area teacher who was apparently out for a jog when he crossed paths with the mayor’s entourage. Killoran hurled questions and accusations at Ford while the mayor’s staff attempted to intercede. “Answer one of the million questions people have for you,” Killoran said. “People have a million questions about your lying and your corruption.” Ford did not respond to Killoran. Someone in the crowd asked if he was working for one of Ford’s political rivals. “Do I look like I’m with a campaign?” Killoran, who was shirtless at the time, responded. “I’m an East York guy out for a jog.”
