Edit: Video may not be NSFW, has some dirty language.

[Correction]

The curlies on the fur burger were a nice touch. I'm also pleased that the taiwanese are that fluent with our slang for the vagina.

To be fair, as fucked up as this guy's private life is, he hasn't done a bad job as Mayor.

[Mazmaz]

If you're a conservative maybe

[Kang]

To be fair, as fucked up as this guy's private life is, he hasn't done a bad job as Mayor.

Right after he had his powers stripped, the council set out to pass a property tax increase of over 2%. Ford said before he was not gonna go higher than 1.3. Still, through all his shit, he tries to help people out. Now council is trying to fuck people over. Not surprised in the slightest. Left wing councillors like Adam Vaughn crack me up. Does no one remember how much Toronto sucked under NDP mayor David Miller?

[Mazmaz]

How dare they tax the well-off?

[BaneTheBrawler]

no taxation without cocaine, eh! TO THE ICE FLOE! DUMP THE SYRUP!

[Correction]

Someone photoshop a green Sims diamond over his head.

[AidenCarby]

That guy is awesome.

Rob Ford takes leave as new drug video emerges

A second video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking what has been described as crack-cocaine by a self-professed drug dealer was secretly filmed in his sister’s basement early Saturday morning.

The clip, which was viewed by two Globe and Mail reporters, shows Mr. Ford taking a drag from a long copper-coloured pipe, exhaling a cloud of smoke, his right arm convulsing. The footage is part of a package of three videos the dealer said was surreptitiously filmed around 1:15 a.m., and which he says he is now selling for “at least six figures.”

Mr. Ford declined to answer questions from The Globe and Mail. Less than an hour after The Globe asked the mayor for comment, his lawyer, Dennis Morris, said Mr. Ford is planning to “take a break” from the mayoral election.

In one of the clips shown to The Globe and Mail on Wednesday, the mayor rapidly shifts his weight back and forth on the spot, talking into his cellphone and his right arm swinging at his side. When the camera pans around the room, a man that looks like Alessandro “Sandro” Lisi, the mayor’s former driver and an accused drug-dealing extortionist, can be seen in the background. Mr. Ford’s sister, Kathy, who has admitted in media interviews to being a drug addict, is sitting in front of her brother. In the last of three clips, Mr. Ford is holding the pipe and speaking to his sister.

A man who answered Mr. Lisi’s cellphone told The Globe not to call back. Mr. Lisi’s lawyer, Seth Weinstein, said: “I think the only thing I can tell you now is that, until such time the video’s contents are authenticated, it would be inappropriate to comment any further.” A reporter attempted to contact Ms. Ford at her home, but there was no answer.

The footage comes just as the mayor has embarked on what once seemed like an impossible mission – a re-election campaign styled on the importance of second chances and forgiving mistakes. Nearly a year ago, the mayor thrust himself into worldwide infamy when another drug dealer, Mohamed Siad, began approaching media outlets in Canada and the United States with a video of the mayor smoking crack. At the time, the mayor denied using the drug, only to later admit that he had smoked crack cocaine in a “drunken stupor” and that he was not an addict.

Since then Mr. Ford has been filmed numerous times in public appearing erratic and acting impaired. In each instance, the mayor has admitted to drinking, but never drugs. A few weeks ago when asked directly if he was continuing to use, Mr. Ford said: “You guys ask stupid questions.”

"Denied" access to the U.S.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford turned back after landing in the US last week, shortly after he announced he was entering rehab, say media reports.

The Canadian consulate said he "voluntarily withdrew" his request to enter the US after talks with border officials in Chicago.

His lawyer and brother have said he is now in treatment for substance abuse, but they refused to say where.

Mr Ford admitted to using crack cocaine in a "drunken stupor" last year.

He has already been stripped of many of his mayoral powers but refused calls to step down, running for re-election in October.

The embattled mayor announced he was starting a 30-day treatment course on Wednesday, as police investigated a new video that allegedly shows him smoking crack cocaine as recently as last month.

The following day, he boarded a plane in Toronto and flew to Chicago.

Roy Norton, the Canadian counsel general in Chicago, told the Globe and Mail newspaper Mr Ford had "voluntarily withdrew his application to enter the US" and was "not denied entry, per se".

Mr Norton told broadcaster CBC Mr Ford turned back after "discussion" with US border officials.

On Tuesday, Councillor Doug Ford confirmed his brother was in a treatment programme but would not say where.

"Yes, for the one-millionth time, Rob Ford is in a rehabilitation program," Mr Ford said, adding if he identified the location, he feared media organisations would stake it out.

Mr Ford refused to comment on what happened when his brother landed in Chicago.

The mayor's lawyer, Dennis Morris, also refused to disclose his client's location but said the "bottom line is he's in rehab"

"He'll be there for a number of weeks - and that's the answer," Mr Morris told the Globe and Mail. "It's not like he's at a baseball game in Los Angeles or something."

Mr Ford has visited the US this year, going to Los Angeles and appearing on a US chat show earlier this year.

Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly will serve as mayor during Mr Ford's leave of absence.

Mr Ford was first elected to lead Canada's largest city in 2010 on a pledge to tackle wasteful spending at city hall, drawing much of his support from the suburban areas of Toronto.

Two main challengers, John Tory and Olivia Chow, are vying to replace him as mayor in the 27 October election.
