According to this CBC report, Ford not only called 911 twice when confronted with This Hour Has 22 Minutes' Marg, Warrior Princess (evincing cluelessness not only in his reaction, but ignorance of the difference between calling police and calling a number set aside for genuine emergencies) but verbally abused the dispatchers: "Sources say Ford turned on the dispatcher, yelling: 'You … bitches! Don’t you f--king know? I’m Rob f--king Ford, the mayor of this city!'".
The probability that he's going to get dinged by the police the next time somebody catches him using his cellphone while driving probably just went way up.
Appearing on CBC News Network on Thursday morning, CBC reporter DaveWords fail.
Seglins said dispatchers are "incensed" about the language Ford used
during the 911 call and have complained to their union."The police force and the police brass are scrambling," Seglins
reported. "This is a call the details of which are supposed to be
private, but everyone within the police service, as we understand it,
are talking about it."
