TORONTO — Toronto’s police chief has filed a defamation notice against Mayor Rob Ford’s brother for comments the city councillor made earlier this month.
Doug Ford suggested two weeks ago that Chief Bill Blair helped leak information that police were preparing to subpoena the mayor in an ongoing investigation as “payback.”
At the time, Blair said Ford was lying and warned that he was prepared to take legal action.
Toronto police spokesman Mark Pugash says the defamation notice was handed to the councillor on Monday night.
Pugash says the notice asks for a public retraction and apology.
He says the legal action is being pursued by Blair personally, and doesn’t involve taxpayer money.
