Not sure how anything Carol Off said would make you call her "an ass". She did her job. She called at the appointed time and tried to ask questions of a guy who has just landed a very important job. And when given the opportunity to express himself to a national audience he chooses to be rude and repeat his meaningless catch-phrases. And you want to call this some kind of conspiracy against the guy you clearly voted for? Man, you're going to be doing a lot of finger pointing for his whole term.

@356pla @356pla just exactly how was Carol Off's interveiw slanderous? do you even know what the word slander means?, the fact the the CBC gets federal funding is not in anyway relevant, you don't live in toronto? thats pretty obvious i would suggest you actually look into the issues, and the fact that ford lies pretty much constantly, has lied about most of his campaign promises, go ahead it will take you about 20 min to fact check everything he has said on the internet

@lvroberts After how that pathetic mouthpiece and her supposedly balanced, tax funded national broadcaster had at every opportunity, misrepresented and virtually slandered this man, his supporters and campaign...

I don't live in Toronto.

@lvroberts - Well, if that's how it happened, then I agree.

I have no love for Rob Ford. I've read about this guy. His ideology is akin to Conservative Republicans in the States. How he got so far in Canadian politics is beyond me.

@ApocalypsePlough Why did Ford's communication director tell CBC to call him at that time at the football game then? That was the Ford team's great idea and Ford repeated meaningless cliches without responding to direct questions and fobbed off the interview.

[ApocalypsePlough]

Xtranormal, the program used to make this video, needs to figure out a way to make the speech not sound so stilted. Same thing happened to my videos.

It was a good idea, but didn't turn out so great because of the stilted speech.

And, Carol Off and the CBC shouldn't have interviewed Ford when he was in the middle of coaching a football game. I mean, Christ.

OK that was kind of funny.

you must have missed 1010CFRB last night they had her and her producer on and she was dancing around the issue.anyhow lets see if she has any class tonight folks.. in any case CBC has become even more of a mouthpiece for the left ''your tax dollars at work''

the brilliance of this approach dawned on me gradually, you know, so...
