Rob Ford’s brother to promote ‘Ford Nation’ book, run for office within a year
TORONTO — A new book about Rob Ford and his family will “rock” the political and media worlds, the brother of Toronto’s late crack-smoking mayor announced Tuesday amid speculation he is toying with the idea of running for the Conservative party leadership.
Doug Ford, a former Toronto city councillor, said he would be touring the country to promote the book titled “Ford Nation: Two Brothers, One Vision—The True Story of the People’s Mayor.”
“When this comes out, from the prime minister to the premier to the mayor, it’s going to rock the media world, it’s going to rock the political world,” Ford told a crowd of reporters gathered in the backyard of his mother’s house in the city’s west end.
“It’s going to have stories that no one here has ever heard, no one in the country has ever heard.”
