Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, in his August
28 radio interview with the Newstalk1010, invited “the whole city” (all the
Torontonians) to his mother Diane Ford’s home backyard on Weston Wood Road in Etobicoke
on September 7 for a barbecue party, reports The Toronto Star. The mayor is
said to have mentioned, “We will have a great time.” The party will have hot
dogs, hamburgers, beer, pop drinks and pony rides for kids.
In this annual family fare, hundreds
of people usually participate.
When asked in the interview how many
people can the backyard hold, the mayor said, ”Close to 5,000 people.” “People
come and go, so it’s not all at one time,” he said.
Mayor Ford, who usually avoids
participation in the LGBT (lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender) community events,
will now inadvertently have them in his backyard! This community people,
through a Facebook page, are organizing a large participation of their own in
the mayor’s party.
It would be interesting to see a long
queue of Toronto’s citizens for kilometers around his mother's house.
The mayor’s neighbours are worried
about the law and order situation in the area on that day.
