What could be controversial about the city of Toronto congratulating Canada's Olympic and Paralympic athletes?
Ask Rob Ford. The Toronto mayor on Wednesday cast the sole "no" vote on a City Council motion to offer the athletes kudos. Minutes earlier, he also was the only council member to vote against a proposal to name a Toronto street after the late Nelson Mandela.
Ford asked for a re-vote on both motions a half-hour later but was denied.
"We all make errors," said Ford, who claimed he was stretching a sore back and voted quickly. "I guess I pushed the wrong button. Of course I support Nelson Mandela."
"Sorry, I was drunk, and high on crack. It won't happen ag-- oh, I can't keep a straight face!"
