Rob Ford Discussion Thread

Might I say I also just saw that video of him spouting off about wanting to kill someone. Wow. He has issues. MAJOR issues.

From our local newspaper today.

So, where is the part of him smoking crack? Isn`t that what all the hype is about?


He clearly appears intoxicated in the video which is NO surprise to me.

He has been in that condition many other times (publicly) danforth, hockey games, getting drinks thrown in his face etc.. So now that this video surfaced people want to take action and get him help?

Might be a little too late.

This is a different video, the crack video is in the courts and will not be shown until the trial, even then the judge has to allow it to be released to the public.

people have been saying for a long time he has a problem, but he was so good at deflecting and making himself spear innocent.

Mayor Ford's calling for the crack video to be released is simply to make himself look transparent without any effort as both he and his lawyers know that no judge will release it before any criminal trial, even if Mayor Ford doesn't appear in any way incriminated by the contents. That way the mayor gets the credit for trying to vindicate himself..

I have not watched this all yet ( there are 3 or 4 parts to it ) but why has his family never spoken out before to the media? Maybe he never allowed them to? Well only Doug was always there. ( sigh)

The rant and rave video...there's no doubt he's wasted and if he said he didn't remember that incident I would believe him (i.e., that he was having an alcoholic blackout).

He looks more then drunk to me, he looks like he is on something - moving around so fast, so edgy. I know that even when I have 2 drinks my motor skills are slow as molasses. I find it odd he would be so drunk and that hyper - I'm willing to bet there is more then alcohol involved there.

Actually the judge just might release it - http://www.citynews.ca/2013/11/08/ju...ing-ford-lisi/

His mother and sister made a statement saying he is not a drug addict and doesn't need help, he should loose weight though. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/robbie-...ford-1.1532894

I find this so sad, his family is ENABLING HIM they are not concerned for his well being only for his status as mayor. Where is big brother Doug now? He was always in the media's face talking and defending his brother, where is he now to actually say anything that will help his brother. This whole situation has become sad - its a train wreck about to happen and no one can do anything.

[Patty Smyth]

Well, he is not my mayor and obviously I don't know him personally but I have seen enough drunks/druggies to know he is in a downward spiral whereby the end result will be catastrophic. This will end up with him in some kind of facility or morgue. It's no longer funny at all. We are witnessing the complete collapse of a human being.

Rob and Doug Ford's weekly radio show The City cancelled http://www.citynews.ca/2013/11/08/ma...ity-cancelled/

I hope he goes to rehab. People will forgive him if he takes ownership of this and comes out of it a better person.

It's getting to the point where people are just tired of hearing about this non stop, some good news would bring everyone some relief!
