In 2010 famed Toronto city councilman was elected mayor of the city. He was a populist, with conservative ideals and was generally well-liked. That said, he had his fair share of detractors, especially in the media. In 2013 Gawker and the Toronto Star would shock the city with claims that they had witnessed a video showcasing the mayor smoking crack. Rob would initially deny these allegations, calling them nothing more than a pathetic smear attempt. Many doubted the media claims at first...but as more evidence surfaced, it began to look like their mayor may have actually been using crack. This is the story.

True but I really don't understand why smoking crack is such a big deal to people. Seems like they either have a very unhealthy view of drugs or hated him beforehand and just wanted something to hold against him. You can smoke crack once and not be an addict. I would never touch stuff like that but some friends of mine have and it is just a thing they do every once in a while.

I used to work at a really old restaurant (literally called the "Old Mill restaurant") in Toronto at the time. Rob's first major public party/gathering once he became mayor, was held there. I remember making a bunch of pastries the day before, since it was going to be a large gathering and we needed to prepare a *lot* of stuff. Needless to say, I didn't meet him directly, but it's that feeling of "it's a small world" when you're somehow invariable connected with someone like Rob, even if it's indirect.
@trelard 2 жыл бұрын
The whole Rob Ford thing was hilarious. The only person he was really hurting was himself. I still remember being in the car in Ottawa and hearing his first public denial about the video and nearly crashing from laughing at it. When he started on about an "alleged" video that may or may not exist, I knew exactly the game he was playing and knew he was screwed. An innocent person wouldn't have said it that way, they would tend to stick to it NOT existing, period.

Rob Ford was our area Councilman. Still remember the times when my parents had a hard time with our living situation at our apartment, and he would answer his cell phone no matter what he was doing just to help my parents. He would come over and help my parents out with whatever they needed. Would stay for a coffee or beer. He then became the mayor of Toronto and was the best mayor this city ever had. He has his issues, but if you knew the guy, you'd know how hard he would work for the little guy that needed it. RIP Robbie, a lot of us miss you buddy. I'm honestly going to say that this is the only wavy video I won't watch. The man died of a rare cancer and his memory is very special to a lot of us that knew him

The funny thing that most people choose to ignore, is that Ford’s primary opponent in his first mayoral campaign was George Smitherman, a man who also suffered from substance abuse. The only thing was that while Ford smoked crack - the cheaper drug of choice for the poor, Smitherman snorted more expensive and purer cocaine powder. I prefer our politicians to not have any serious substance abuse and I was never a fan of Rob Ford, but it was very interesting to see how the media and the public treated one man’s drug habit quite differently to another’s.
@tartrazine5 2 жыл бұрын
The key difference isn't what type of cocaine each man liked. Smitherman was forgiven for his cocaine use because he was a gay progressive who also wasn't careless enough to get recorded by his dealer. Leftists HATED Rob Ford and enjoyed hating him.

I remember one guy stopped me out front a gas station and asked for 5 bucks. He looked like he was in pretty rough shape, sweating a ton. I was like "5 bucks is pretty specific, why 5?" and he said "I'm trying to get some more crack, but my dealer said I need to get him the money I still owe from last time before hell front me again" I appreciated the honesty, and grabbed a 5 from my wallet. Right before I handed it to him I asked "must be some good shit, is it worth it?" The look on his face as he cracked a huge smile and gleefully stated that it was absolutely more than worth it will always stick with me. I'd never do crack, but I feel like I have a decent idea of just how good it feels (albeit, for a bit. Which im sure is then surrounded by horrendous withdrawals) A crazy lady asked me for a few dollars right after that, so she could get some food, and I said no. Im pretty sure she wanted it for drugs, too, though

Rob Ford was our area Councilman. Still remember the times when my parents had a hard time with our living situation at our apartment, and he would answer his cell phone no matter what he was doing just to help my parents. He would come over and help my parents out with whatever they needed. Would stay for a coffee or beer. He then became the mayor of Toronto and was the best mayor this city ever had. He has his issues, but if you knew the guy, you'd know how hard he would work for the little guy that needed it. RIP Robbie, a lot of us miss you buddy.

As a recovering addict myself I know better than anyone our natural instinct reaction when we're being called out on our bullshit is to lie, lie, lie, to cover our asses. Should a crack smoker be in such a high position of power? No, probably not. But I cant help but to understand and empathize a bit with his reaction when it was brought to the public's attention. Honestly while in my addiction I would've done the same damn thing.

LOL Despite the crack thing, he had good intentions as a Mayor. This guy wanted to cut a few million dollars in handouts/perks being given to all city council members. He even made a KZfaq video showing all the free handouts they get. He said at a salary of $100 000 a year they could afford to pay for these things themselves. You have to respect that about him.
