One of Mayor Rob Ford’s most vocal fans at City Hall is now supporting Olivia Chow.

Jim McMillan — who dubbed himself a Rob Ford Ranger and tried to clean up spots around the city in the mayor’s name — penned an open letter to the mayor on Wednesday yanking his endorsement.

The Ward 18 council candidate has been a familiar sight at City Hall, often sitting outside the mayor’s office to show his support for Ford and singing songs of appreciation for the embattled mayor.

In the letter to Ford delivered to the press gallery, McMillan blamed his change of heart on the mayor’s brother Councillor Doug Ford, and a trespass letter he received from City Hall.

“So here are all your refrigerator magnets, which were to go in Caledonia village homes,” McMillan wrote to Rob Ford. “I am now joining Olivia Chow, as she is the only sensible candidate with a plan to fix Metro Community Housing and perhaps the ‘Clean Air Program’ of transit solution for our city.

“Good-by (sic) old friend, your brother ... is too much for me.”

A City of Toronto spokesman confirmed McMillan “has been involved in a number of security incidents at City Hall, including being arrested.

“A formal Trespass Notice, dated Aug. 26, 2014, has been issued to Mr. McMillan,” spokesman Jackie DeSouza told the Toronto Sun. “Under the terms of the Trespass Notice, he can attend City Hall for business but must provide advanced notice to corporate security.”
