Councillor Doug Ford suggested he may file another complaint against Chief Bill Blair after he spoke out against the Ford brothers Wednesday.

Ford again called for the chief to step aside on AM640’s John Oakley show Thursday morning and accused him of “breaking the law.” The councillor said the chief should not be talking about ongoing investigations and accused him of infringing the Police Services Act.

“This is payback by Bill Blair to Doug Ford,” Ford said on the show. “He just keeps breaking the law. Who holds this character accountable?”

Near the end of the show, Ford said Blair is the “most political chief” he’s ever seen.

“It’s time for this guy to go.”

Ford also accused Blair of questionable timing in terms of his comments Wednesday, going so far as to accuse the chief of campaigning for mayoral candidate John Tory.

On Wednesday, Blair told the Toronto Star he was speaking to clarify reports about the Office of the Independent Police Review Director complaint against him.

Ford originally complained to the OIPRD about the chief’s comments following Mayor Rob Ford friend Alexander Lisi’s arrest and the announcement that police had recovered a video of the mayor smoking what appears to be crack cocaine.

At that Oct. 31 press conference, Blair told reporters he was “disappointed.” He clarified Wednesday to explain he made those comments because he knew the information he was sharing would concern citizens and could impact the city’s reputation.

When Oakley asked if Ford was planning to launch another complaint to the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, Ford responded by saying: “He just doesn’t stop. No one is holding this guy accountable. He thinks he’s in the Wild West, running around, shooting his mouth off any time.”

“I may add to my complaint after his comments yesterday,” Ford said.

On Wednesday, the chief said when Lisi was arrested for extortion, he told investigators: “ Your boss is going to get his this weekend .”

Ford said it was a lie to imply he met or spoke with Lisi at all before going on the offensive against the chief.

“I don’t know this guy. I’ve never talked to him in my life,” Ford said of Lisi.

Ford again accused the chief of an inappropriate fishing trip with board member Andy Pringle , Tory’s former chief of staff.

Board chair Alok Mukherjee previously said the board had already reviewed the trip after speaking with both Blair and Pringle and found nothing inappropriate occurred. Pringle was appointed to the Police Board by Mayor Ford.

Police spokesperson Mark Pugash said: “We do not respond to personal attacks.”
