Mayoral candidate Rocco Rossi was fuming over comments made by rival Rob Ford during the latest televised debate.
During Tuesday night’s debate, Ford said that Toronto should focus on dealing with the people that already live here.
“We can’t even deal with the 2.5-million people in this city. How are we going to welcome another million people in,” Ford said. “I think we have to say enough’s enough.”
Rossi issued a news release Wednesday morning accusing Ford of trying to close the door on immigration.
Rossi, whose parents immigrated from Italy, said he’s deeply offended by the comments.
