The letter was sent to the Premier’s Office on Thursday, according to a lawyer representing Jama, and demands the premier retract the posts and publicly apologize within seven days.

On Oct. 11, Ford posted a statement on social media that called for the Hamilton-Centre MPP’s resignation.

He cited comments Jama made a day earlier about the Israel-Gaza conflict and said that she has a “long and well-documented history of antisemitism.”

The premier also said that Jama supported “the rape and murder of innocent Jewish people.”

Ford’s statement has been viewed more than 1.5 million times on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

I'm smiling at this... the image of Ford with his lips moving to sound out the big words in the letter. His aides gently taking the letter, reading it, and then explaining it to Ford using very small words and gentle tones. It's perfect!!

Is this the Crack smoker we're talking about?

The crack smoker is his dead brother, Rob Ford, former mayor of Toronto IIRC.
