Yah sure it's all about Rob Ford's limited alcohol abuse issues.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...y-with-drug-dealing/article12153014/?page=all

There were usually a number of dealers to choose from, some of them supplied by a mainstay at James Gardens – a young man with the hulk-like frame and mop of bright blond hair: Doug Ford. “Most people didn’t approach Doug looking for product. You went to the guys that he supplied. Because if Doug didn’t know you and trust you, he wouldn’t even roll down his window,” Justin said.

Today, Mr. Ford is a member of Toronto’s city council – and no ordinary councillor. First elected in 2010 as his brother was swept into the mayor’s office, he has emerged as a truly powerful figure at City Hall –– trying to overhaul plans for Toronto’s waterfront less than a year after arriving. He also has higher aspirations, and has said he wants to follow in the footsteps of his father, Doug Ford Sr., by running in the next provincial election as a Conservative.

Well before the events of the past week, The Globe and Mail began to research the Ford brothers in an effort to chronicle their lives before rising to prominence in Canada’s largest city. Over the past 18 months, it has sought out and interviewed dozens of people who knew them in their formative years.

What has emerged is a portrait of a family once deeply immersed in the illegal drug scene. All three of the mayor’s older siblings – brother Randy, 51, and sister Kathy, 52, as well as Doug, 48 – have had ties to drug traffickers.

Ten people who grew up with Doug Ford – a group that includes two former hashish suppliers, three street-level drug dealers and a number of casual users of hash – have described in a series of interviews how for several years Mr. Ford was a go-to dealer of hash. These sources had varying degrees of knowledge of his activities: Some said they purchased hash directly from him, some said they supplied him, while others said they observed him handling large quantities of the drug.

It's a complete joke that either man was able to reach high civic office and that they both still have aspirations for higher office still.

As opposed to what, letting the sociopaths destroy the country without saying anything.

When did apathy and contempt become a virtue in Canada?

sure he is, and I will continue to denigrate him until he can prove to me that he has risen to a level that does not deserve denigrating

after his comments about women he has a long, long way to crawl before he begins to climb

I've dealt with drug addicts, it's all well and good to be supportive from afar... it's all well and good to go for help, that's only a step toward the light

So a couple of very rich, well connected psychologically screwed up white boys are using the entire nation in some sort of bizarre intervention. Why the hell should we all be dragged through the abusive crap that obviously comes from how these freaks were raised.

Probably just as sick as a heart patient (and could contribute to him being a heart patient)

I don't buy the whole addict as a sickness business myself. Regardless, the thing he needs to do is step down as mayor. But then again, addiction to power is probably as strong as his other addictions.

More Rob Ford- Thug life bull****.

‘Intoxicated’ Rob Ford threatened ‘to get’ city hall security guard who reported St. Patrick’s Day debauchery: new documents | National Post

“Mayor Rob Ford then suddenly made remarks about a former security guard who reported the mayor’s behaviour at city hall on St. Patrick’s Day two years earlier,” the report states, although he did not name the employee. “Mayor Ford mentioned that he ‘was going to get that security guy who wrote the report’” and is said to have stated repeatedly that he knew that “you guys have a job to do, yeah, but, you can’t do that to me, man. You can’t to me. C’mon?!? You know what I mean? Do what you do to me, and then slide off to [text is blacked out]. What, you didn’t think I would find out? I am going to get him, you mark my words!”

It’s not clear what the mayor meant, but one security guard said it “could have meant anything.”

So basically we're waiting for Ford to blatantly break the law before he faces any real consequences and even then he'll probable sleaze his way out of it.

Rob Ford '100% in rehab' after reported U.S. border issues
Lawyer confirms to CBC that Toronto mayor is getting help for addiction issues, but won't say where

Rob Ford boarded a plane headed to Chicago last week, then turned around before he could officially enter the United States, according to a newspaper report Tuesday published days after Toronto's mayor took a leave of absence to seek treatment for substance abuse.

A story in the Globe and Mail quotes Roy Norton, consul general of Canada in Chicago, saying Ford "voluntarily withdrew his application to enter the USA."

Norton told the newspaper that Ford "was not denied entry, per se."

The consul general's office was not involved in the decision, Norton told the newspaper. Norton was told the details by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Norton had no further information about why Ford did not enter the U.S.

Ford's lawyer won't say where mayor is

CBC News contacted Ford's lawyer Dennis Morris on Tuesday, and he confirmed the mayor is in treatment for addiction issues.

"The mayor is 100 per cent in rehab. I can assure you of that," Morris told the CBC's Dave Seglins.

Morris refused to divulge where his client is, or confirm whether Ford is in Canada or the United States.

Asked whether the public should believe Ford is actually in rehab, Morris told CBC that Ford's previous denials and lies about drug use and a video of him smoking crack are "hallmarks of someone with troubles."

Ford took leave of absence last week

The ongoing Ford saga became front-page news again last week, when the mayor took a leave of absence after two recordings surfaced in newspaper reports. One audio recording captured the mayor ranting and making lewd comments about Coun. Karen Stintz. A video viewed by Globe reporters showed the mayor smoking a substance that a source told the newspaper was crack cocaine.

The new revelations prompted Ford — who is running for re-election in the Oct. 27 municipal election — to take a leave of absence from both the campaign and his duties as mayor.

A statement from Ford issued on Thursday said he was taking the leave to deal with his "problem with alcohol," which Ford said he has struggled with "for some time."

Last week, CBC confirmed Ford flew to Chicago from Ontario's Buttonville airport, but his next stop was never revealed.

His family has said Ford is in rehab at an undisclosed location.

Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly will serve as mayor while Ford is away.

Toronto city council will on Tuesday hold its first full meeting since Ford's departure.

In the hoopla surrounding Mayor Rob Ford last week, a journalistic sin was overlooked — chequebook journalism.

In a new low for Canadian media, the Globe and Mail paid $10,000 to a drug dealer for screen grabs from another video allegedly showing the Toronto mayor smoking crack. As a Globe reporter for 20 years — until 2008 — I recall no previous payments for information.

Chequebook journalism undermines journalistic ethics. It encourages entrepreneurs to set someone up and provides financial incentives to manufacture news. It forges a business relationship with a source, an inherent conflict of interest.

In its story, the Globe acknowledged buying the screen grabs in the fourth-to-last paragraph, but did not disclose it paid $10,000. You learn that only by reading another article by its editor-in-chief.

Sin is in the mind of the beholder.
Not the most savory thing but it was disclosed for all to judge.
Besides, Ford is worth it.

This is just more of the Rob and Doug show, these sociopaths don't have a genuine bone in their bodies.

Rob Ford 'enjoying' rehab for substance issues, columnist says - Toronto - CBC News

"He's really enjoying it," said Warmington. "He talked about it being like a football camp, with lots of structure. I don't know if fun is the word but it's certainly something he's bought into. He really did sound genuine and reflective."

That's like no detox I've ever heard of.

And both "men" have proven time and again how dishonest they are.

Is Rob Ford Really In Rehab? Speculation Mounts About Toronto Mayor

If no one knows where he is then how are they disturbing other patients?

On Wednesday, Doug Ford said he received a call from his brother's doctors, asking he tell the media to back off.

"The doctor called me, they asked, 'Please tell the media to stop,'" Doug Ford told reporters at city hall, according to the Sun.

"This is not about just Rob, this is about all the other patients. You can't put their jeopardy at stake here of their recovery."

What's far more likely is this is just more smoke and mirrors from two of Canadians most ****ed up "politicians" heading into another election.
