TORONTO - At least 38 pages of e-mails containing the words “crack cocaine” from the account of a former Mayor Rob Ford staffer won’t be made public.
The City of Toronto released the first batch of e-mails Friday in response to freedom of information requests around Ford’s scandal involving crack cocaine allegations.
City officials have been swamped with 29 requests from several media outlets, including the Toronto Sun, asking them to disclose the mayor’s office internal communications from the time period when Ford was under siege by the drug allegations.
The Sun has requested all correspondence by several Ford staffers that includes the words “crack cocaine.”
The first e-mails — 186 pages — were solely from the e-mails account of Brian Johnston, a former policy adviser in the mayor’s office, who resigned back in May. City officials took out an additional 38 pages of e-mails based on freedom of information legislation that allows them to redact e-mails to and from constituents or that could be described as “of a personal nature.”
