Rob Ford now former mayor of Toronto

Rob Ford is Toronto's mayor no more.

The mayor of Canada's largest city has been asked to leave his post after a judge ruled that he failed to declare a conflict of interest in dealing with the city's public funds.

In a report yesterday by Canadian edition of The Huffington Post, Ontario Superior Court Judge Charles Hack-land ruled that Ford violated the Municipal Conflict-of-Interest Act.

The ruling was due to Ford’s failure to declare a conflict of interest when he asked city councillors to vote in paying back solicitations to fund his private football foundation - under the city government’s letterhead.

Judge Hack-land says he’s barred from the mayoral post until 2014. However, he is allowed to run again if a potential by-election comes up.

Ford met with reporters after the ruling. He says he blames left-wing politicians and argues that they will do anything in their power to kick him out.

He pledged to fight quote- tooth and nail - unquote, in getting his post back.

Ford is the third Canadian city mayor to leave office due to allegations of misusing public funds, after London Ontario’s Joe Fontana and Montreal’s Gerald Tremblay.
