TORONTO, Ont. – Mayor Rob Ford is “less than pleased” about testifying in a conflict of interest case next week, which may cost him his job.

The lawsuit against the Mayor alleges he broke the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act when he took part in a council vote in February. The vote reversed a decision which ordered him to repay over $3,000 in improper donations from lobbyists and a corporation to his children’s football foundation.

“I can’t say too much about what happened and about the court, unfortunately,” Ford said at the opening of a playground in Etobicoke, Wednesday morning. “I’ll tell them exactly what I do with foundation, how many kids I’ve helped and take it from there.”

In a recent radio interview, Ford argued that only voters have the power to kick him out of office.

Meanwhile, Councillor Doug Ford – also in attendance at the playground – said the lawsuit against his brother is all politics and is meaningless.

“This sickens me how people want to politicize the process and we’ll let the people decide in two years – that’s the real court date,” he said.

“I have no comment about the court case,” he added. “If people really cared about the kids, they’d be doing what Rob’s doing – donating his time, donating his money and helping youth around the city.”

A judge will hear the case on September 5. If Ford is convicted, he would be removed from office and would receive a seven-year ban from running for office.
