Oh indeed.
And when people like Rear-Ender spew at length about how Toronto is the mecca of the New World and the center of the Age of Enlightenment they conveniently go out around that little chapter in Toronto's history. Which of course is a shame, because that is the zenith of entertainment value in Canadian politics.
“I’ve run a fantastic city. I don’t want to toot my own horn here but I’m the best mayor this city has ever had.”
Ford on his run as mayor during a radio interview on Nov. 3, 2013.
“Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine… Probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately about a year ago.”
Ford admitting to smoking crack cocaine and denying ever lying about it on Nov. 5, 2013.
“I’ve never said that in my life to her, I would never do that. I’m happily married, I’ve got more than enough to eat at home.”
Ford on allegations he made crude comments to a female assistant about performing oral sex on Nov. 14, 2013.
“The revelations yesterday of cocaine, escorts, prostitution has pushed me over the line and I used unforgivable language and again I apologize. These allegations are 100 per cent lies.”
Ford on more allegations on Nov. 14, 2013.
“This… reminds me of when I was watching with my brother when Saddam (Hussein) attacked Kuwait and (U.S.) President Bush said ‘I warn you, I warn you, I warn you, do not.’ Well folks, if you think American-style politics is nasty, you guys have just attacked Kuwait.”

“Bumbaclot, mon.”

“I have a problem with alcohol, and the choices I have made while under the influence. I have tried to deal with these issues by myself over the past year. I know that I need professional help and I am now 100 per cent committed to getting myself right.”
Ford said in a statement on April 30, 2014, after three Toronto newspapers published numerous reports, including another video of him allegedly smoking crack cocaine, an audio recording of the mayor drunk, spewing profanities and making lewd comments, and witness accounts of him snorting cocaine in a Toronto nightclub.
“It’s not just an addiction. Some people can drink, some people can casually use drugs. I have a disease. I have a chronic disease. I was born with blond hair and I’m going to die with blond hair. I was born with this disease. I’m going to die with this disease.”
Ford in July 2014.
“This is what I love to do. This is not causing the disease. I’ve had this disease before I even entered this office.”
Ford on whether stress from being mayor contributed to his alcohol and drug abuse in July 2014.
“I offended a lot of people and all I can do is apologize and say sorry. I cannot change the past.”
