fwd.ed, Torontonians in Hong Kong - China urged to vote in the mayorial election, specifically against Rob Ford.

Ford rival in the mayoral race, Olivia Chow - the former Trinity-Spadina MP, is shaming the mayor for his crack use in the foreign press.

She was quoted on Tuesday in the South China Morning Press, an English language daily servicing the special administrative region of Hong Kong. In that paper, she urged any Torontonian in Hong Kong to vote in the municipal election, specifically against Ford.

The headline with her picture declared, "Rob Ford rival urges voters in Hong Kong to oust him."

Chow said that anyone from Toronto in Hong Kong "shares the shame" of having Ford as mayor. The newspaper writes that

"a conservative estimate of the number of Torontonians in Hong Kong would reach more than 100,000."

Chow was born in Hong Kong and is fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

"Our mayoral race is making news in Hong Kong. If you'd told me I'd do this when I was 15, I'd have said xxxxx?" Chow wrote on Facebook, using a Chinese saying that means "are you nuts?"

On Wednesday, Olivia Chow is booked to do an interview with

BBC Washington.
