Video Of The Current Mayor Of Toronto Smoking Crack Cocaine Worth $200,000 Dollars?
Rob Ford, proud Canadian and Toronto mayor, was caught on tape smoking crack in the ghetto. Ford is famous for his heavy drinking and conservative notions of race and sexual orientation, but crack smoking might be a new low for him. The tape is in the hands of a shady character related to Ford's deceased drug dealer Anthony Smith, who was shot to death in front of a night club two months ago. The tape will go to the highest bidder, and it allegedly shows Ford smoking rock and laughing like a hyena.
(The Star) A cellphone video that appears to show Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine is being shopped around Toronto by a group of Somali men involved in the drug trade. Two Toronto Star reporters have viewed the video three times. It appears to show Ford in a room, sitting in a chair, wearing a white shirt, top buttons open, inhaling from what appears to be a glass crack pipe. Ford is incoherent, trading jibes with an off-camera speaker who goads the clearly impaired mayor by raising topics including Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and the Don Bosco high school football team Ford coaches. "I'm f---ing right-wing," Ford appears to mutter at one point. "Everyone expects me to be right-wing. I'm just supposed to be this great...." and his voice trails off. At another point he is heard calling Trudeau a "fag." Later in the 90-second video he is asked about the football team and he appears to say (though he is mumbling), "they are just f---ing minorities." The Star had no way to verify the authenticity of the video, which appears to clearly show Ford in a well-lit room. The Star was told the video was shot during the past winter at a house south of Dixon Rd. and Kipling Avenue. What follows is an account based on what both reporters viewed on the video screen. Attempts to reach the mayor and members of his staff to get comment on this story were unsuccessful. A lawyer retained by Ford, Dennis Morris, said that Thursday evening's publication by the U.S.-based Gawker website of some details related to the video was "false and defamatory." Morris told the Star that by viewing any video it is impossible to tell what a person is doing. "How can you indicate what the person is actually doing or smoking?" Morris said.
I'm from Toronto and would like to point out a few things with regards to this issue:
ReplyDelete1. The Toronto Star, arguable the most widely circulated newspaper in the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area, is known to provide misleading information.
2. Ever since Mayor Ford took office, this newspaper and its associates have been after him to try and get him out of office, they don't like his policies and they don't like him on a personal basis since he refuses to give them interviews and keeps them out of closed door press meetings.
3. Evidence must be presented against Rob Ford and these accusations need to come to an end. Only 3 months ago Rob Ford was accused of sexually harassing a woman at a party - once Rob Ford threatened the accuser with legal action the accusations against him were dropped.
4. $200,000 for a video of a Toronto Mayor is ridiculous, one has to ask, who benefits from the money?
5. Any allegations against the mayor must be brought forth with evidence in the court of law, aside from that this is nothing but empty accusations.
6. Rob Ford is not a Canadian issue, we have much more to worry about than a crack-head mayor. Our economy is in shambles, the government's 2013 budget clearly outlines a Cyprus-style banking bailout and our senators and Prime Minister are utterly corrupt.
Again, I don't care for Rob Ford - but as a Torontarian, I have much more to be concerned with than an obese crackhead mayor.
Thanks for the insight, you make a lot of sense.
DeleteIt will never be proved what he smoked, if he smoked or whatever allegations against him would be raised. I like Rob Ford for his consistency of what he is doing and not bowing to the opposition and interest groups. God save The Mayor!
ReplyDeleteIDIOTS are all around and you are the one of them.
DeleteMajor FORD is d ick head fat obese pig.
