TORONTO

Mayor Rob Ford had a Ford family huddle Friday.

Ford’s office repeatedly refused to say where the embattled mayor was following the revelations a day earlier that Toronto Police have obtained the video of the mayor in which he appears to be smoking crack cocaine.

At the end of the day, Ford’s office said he was in “constituent meetings and senior staff were with him.”

Ford didn’t come to City Hall at all Friday while a sea of media sat camped in front of his office.

The Toronto Sun found the mayor’s Cadillac Escalade along with Councillor Doug Ford’s Lincoln Navigator parked in the driveway of the home of their mom, Diane Ford. Earl Provost, the mayor’s chief of staff, and his spokesman, Amin Massoudi, later joined the meeting.

A jovial looking Mayor Ford left his mom’s house around 12:30 p.m. and returned to his own home. Councillor Ford was asked if the meeting was an intervention, he said, no.

Stopping later at a bakery, the mayor took a shot at the media.

“You never worked a day in your lives,” he said.

Ford was later spotted stopping at a Toronto Community Housing building for a meeting that included TCHC CEO Gene Jones.

The mayor then stopped in at the Ford’s family business, Deco Labels.

Pressure is expected to continue to mount through the weekend for Ford to step aside temporarily or resign in the wake of the video controversy. All four of the city’s daily newspapers — including the Toronto Sun — have called on Ford to call it quits.
