Ford says claims are “completely false.”
After news reports emerged – just days before the election – that Doug Ford was being sued by Rob Ford’s widow Renata, the Ontario PC Party Leader has released a statement.
That statement can be read below:
“These claims relating to Deco are completely false and we will strongly refute them in court. I have also stood by my brother and his family through so many of their challenging times, and will always be there for Stephanie and Dougie. Renata’s lawyers have been clear to us throughout this campaign, that either we hand over money, or they would go public with these false claims, and that is exactly what they have done, with three days to go until the election.”

Many have raised questions about the timing of this lawsuit, considering the issue was never brought to the media in the many past months and years when it could have been discussed.

Google Leadnow – They are currently working against Doug Ford. They seem to have set themselves up as the know it all group and is out run Canada the way they want it. Hopefully the people of Ontario will not fall for their untruthful remarks and they will not make the same mistake that BC citizens made by letting and NDP\Green marriage ruin us. Leadnow seems to be working a lot of campaigns. Have a look
It’s sad when immediate family does a number like this. I can’t believe this wasn’t planned as a revenge attack. Whether there are hard feelings from Rob’s death and/or the subsequent inheritance, why now Renata, why now? This does not put her in a positive light in my opinion, and just shows how low some people will go. Rob was a great man RIP…. so sad to see your wife drudging up dirt before a very important election. Let the courts and lawyers fight this out as it doesn’t have to be a campaign issue by any means.
Oh for crying out loud.
Can aoneone say contrived, manipulative, blackmail even!! Possibly even set up by the arrogant Libs!!
