A video that appears to show Toronto’s mayor smoking crack is being shopped around by a group of Somali men involved in the drug trade.

The Star; pathetic. Show the video or shut-up. If no video shows up Ford should sue the poop out of The Star.

Those could be players on one of his football teams. The pic above looks like an after-season party or something.

Am I missing something in the pic -- where is the crack?

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.”
I don't care if he smokes crack. If he really said this on the other hand, THIS is disgusting, and his career is OVER.

Two different media sources have seen it, Walt. Pony up 200k if you need to see the video. Your boot licking of Ford is vile. I voted for the twat, thankfully I have come to my senses unlike you.

You're a typical sun reader though, so your defense of Boss Hogg comes as no surprise.

Though I haven't read any of the articles, NP, NY Daily News, and the TO Star are all carrying the story.

From what I heard,the pic shown here is not the one with the pipe and lighter,the cute girl{lady} from the paper ,that claims to have seen said video,said the person alleged to be ford is sitting,holding a pipe and lighter,swaying and mumbling incoherently.
None of this changes my mind,I thought he was an a** hole since day one.

It doesn't matter whether or not Rob Ford is guilty of what he's accused of. He is the head honcho of the 5th largest government in Canada and must not only be squeaky clean, but must be seen to be squeaky clean...........that is part of why he is paid the "big bucks". When you have a common felon in court charged with an offense there is a thresh hold of proof that has to be met, but I'm not sure that same thresh hold applies in this case. He has at some point seemingly put himself in a compromising position.
