Toronto Police Have Video of Mayor Apparently Smoking Crack

Newser) ? Toronto Mayor Rob Ford just got some very bad news: Police say they've finally got their hands on a notorious video that purports to show him smoking crack, reports the Toronto Star. Or as the police chief puts it, ?The video files depict images that are consistent with what has previously been reported." He added that he's "disappointed," although the AP reports that it doesn't appear that Ford will face any charges as a result.

News of the video first surfaced in May, when those in possession of it showed it to reporters from Gawker and the Star. The video was reportedly being shopped around for six figures, but it soon disappeared, and Ford denied all the allegations. Police then launched an investigation that included surveillance of Ford and his friend, alleged drug dealer Alexander Lisi, and the video turned up in the course of that investigation. Unlike Ford, Lisi faces drug and extortion charges. It's possible the public will get a look at the video during his trial.

i dont even care...Ford did what he said he would, which is rare amongst politicians.

i bet if they held another election he would still win...he is doing what is right for the city.
Although i do not support his casino, i think it will turn many people poor in toronto

ford is a dick and a liar but he knows people won't care.

Didn't stop Marion Barry from getting re-elected .....

not to disagree but what did he do to help the city? I've been out of the loop for toronto happenings lately.

Toronto as a drugged up mayor and Montreal city is 110% corrupted with the Mob

:thumbsup

For the record...

The Irish say "Aye"

Canadians say "Eh"

:2 cents::2 cents:

FORD FOR PM

Not sure about the crack but when you look at his face you can not believe he would be trustworthy.

He has saved the city millions. When he was running for mayor he said he would cut the wasteful spending and he is doing just that. The left wingers hate him for this and have been out to get him from day one. I will vote for him again, I do not care what he does in his private time.

Well that's it. TO is going to turn into one big crack den. Better publicly crucify him before it spreads to all the other non-crackden Canadian cities.

Are there any non-crackden Canadian cities?

Dudes a joke and needs to step down. He is a horrible representative of this city.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Has he or has he not done what he said he would?? Name another politician that has done what they say they would? Yes, he is a mess but I could give a fuck, he has saved this city millions of dollars.

Smoking crack seems like a very liberal thing to do. Meanwhile his politics and deeds while in office would definitely suggest he has somewhat conservative leanings. I find this amazing actually, that here we have one of the few polititians in office who actually lives the credo of being "fiscally conservative and socially liberal" and yet everyone's calling for his head.

Amazing!





:D

i like all the fat jokes going around lol

apparently you are able to make fun of peoples weight in the news, as long as there is enough justification :1orglaugh

Smoking crack is about the only liberal thing he does.

How much has he saved us? How is the city better with him as mayor? As a representative of this city he is as bad as it gets. He is surrounded, constantly, by drama and scandal. I seriously cannot believe anyone still defends this guy. I dont give a shit what he does in the privacy of his own home until it becomes international news. Then it becomes a matter of respect for the city he claims to love. :2 cents:

Yeah, I gotta agree.

I'm not sure where he's saved the city money. Examples?

And, he's shown ZERO leadership on many issues. We're STILL in limbo on transit - that whole discussion is a joke.

Former premier Mike Harris.

And for the record - I miss the days of Mel Lastman.

Fucking Right on :thumbsup:thumbsup hope he does'nt cave to the pressure and resign :2 cents:

He has cut wasteful spending at a level that has gained him enemies.
Do you not remember the other council members just refusing to work with him?
I mean they have a job, which is to support the mayor, but because he cut their budgets they wouldn't do the job they were paid to.

Is the guy a mess? yes...is he good for the bottom line of toronto, yes

bad image maybe...but when it comes to dollars...this guy has cut the gravy train and it has gained him many powerful enemies.

I wish he would clean up his act. He still gets drunk and wanders around toronto sometimes. However, he and his brother are bulldogs when they show up for work in the morning, you can't take that way from them.
