Rob Ford must be ousted, says Paul Magder | Posted Toronto | National Post
The Municipal Conflict of Interest Act must be “interpreted harshly” to ensure the maintenance of public trust in elected officials, argues the man seeking Mayor Rob Ford’s ouster.
“Nothing less than the integrity of government is at stake,” Paul Magder contends in a factum filed two weeks before the mayor goes to court to fight his removal order.
Mr. Magder, backed by high-profile lawyer Clayton Ruby, categorically rejects each of the mayor’s grounds for appeal, maintaining the November decision of Justice Charles Hackland — to boot Mr. Ford from office for contravening the Act by voting on a motion in which he had a pecuniary interest — should stand.
