How To Tell If Your Mayor Is Smoking Crack (Video)
For the most part, people in Toronto are some of the most laid back individuals in the World. In the past, one could attribute that to living in a beautiful city of opportunity; but after recent events have come to light, maybe the relaxed atmosphere results as a trickle down effect from the top of the community, specifically mayor Rob Ford.
The controversial, yet somehow still lovable Ford has had some moments over the years that have perfected his advisor’s damage control skills. In 2006 Ford reassured his taxpayers that “If you’re not doing needles and aren’t gay you won’t get AIDS…probably.” A few years later while addressing bicyclists who are hit by cars on the road Ford chimed, “My heart bleeds for them when I hear they get killed, but at the end of the day it’s their own fault. Bicycling on the roads is like swimming with sharks, sooner or later you’re going to get bitten.”
Ford has also dealt with substance abuse over the years, including passing out on a Toronto restaurant’s floor, flinging racial slurs at a cab driver, getting kicked out of a Maple Leafs game, and making inappropriate gropes and comments to 2013 Mayoral candidate Sarah Thompson. Most recently video has surfaced of Ford smoking what appears to be crack cocaine and the mayor recently went on the record to admit his use. Jimmy Kimmel took advantage of this revelation to make a guide to help other cities detect if their higher-ups are also fond of the rock.
