(just one tiny excerpt, there's much more at the link)

Denzil Minnan-Wong said Ford has “crossed a line” and “no apology” will suffice.

“Every day he lowers the bar,” Minnan-Wong said. “I am exceedingly angry at the mayor.”

Minnan-Wong went on to say that the mayor needs to quit.

“This is beyond taking a leave of absence, this mayor needs to resign,” said Minnan-Wong, a former long-time ally of the mayor, who brought the largely symbolic motion Wednesday to council asking Ford to take a leave of absence and cooperate with a police investigation.

Councillor Minnan-Wong had been one of Ford's biggest backers, up until the past few days.

He's now joined most other Councillors in turning his back on the Mayor, whenever Ford gets up to speak in Council.



There are 3 special council meetings scheduled for tomorrow and Monday, which will basically strip Ford of all his decision-making powers. By Tuesday, Ford might be Mayor in name only. Royson James posted a good summary late today:
