Embattled Toronto mayor Rob Ford has been stripped of most of his remaining powers as he refuses to quit following revelations that he smoked crack cocaine and threatened to murder someone. During the debate he appeared to push a female councillor.
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has hit another setback after he pushed over a woman councillor during a heated council meeting.
He charged around the chamber after arguing with members of the public, before the speaker asked security to clear the chamber and a recess was called. Members of the public then chanted "Shame! Shame!" at the mayor.
The Mayor admits he has made mistakes, but says he remains ambitious, adding: "Have I had my outbursts in the past? Absolutely. But you know what, I'm only human. I've made mistakes. I've apologised."And he still covets the job.
"Yes, one day I do want to run for prime minister," he said.
Video shows Ford moving around the gallery and at one point he knocks over a woman councillor before picking her back up.
