Toronto mayor candidate Ford not speaking to The Star; serves libel notice

The Toronto Sun's Don Peat reports:
"Rob Ford isn’t talking to the Toronto Star anymore. Campaign officials for the mayoral contender say that Ford and the rest of his campaign team refuse to speak to the newspaper.
“'We are not speaking to the Toronto Star,' said Adrienne Batra, Ford’s director of communications. 'The Toronto Star does not get any official comment from our campaign.'
"Batra said the campaign has taken the stance because of the Star’s stories on Ford’s conduct as a football coach nine years ago."
A Star spokesman says the Star stands by its stories.
