Deep in His Own Zone: Toronto’s Mayor in Trouble Over His Football Foundation

Toronto’s Mayor Rob Ford was elected in 2010 with a populist right-wing agenda.

But now Mayor Ford is in hot water, not over his policies, but over his involvement with a football foundation he runs.

Anchor Lisa Mullins speaks with Ian Brown, a reporter for the Globe and Mail, about Mayor Ford.
