Rob Ford is going to take a break from the election campaign to "go get help" after the Globe and Mail revealed it had seen new video of the mayor appearing to smoke crack cocaine as recently as Saturday.
In the video, which the paper says is being shopped by a dealer for six figures, Ford is seen "taking a drag from a long copper-coloured pipe, exhaling a cloud of smoke, his right arm convulsing." Reporters Robyn Doolittle and Greg Mcarthur say the video was taken in the early hours of the morning in his sister's basement. Another video features Sandro Lisi.
It posted a screen cap from one of the videos in which Ford is holding a pipe.
The news that Ford will take a break but remain on the ballot comes as the Toronto Sun said it had acquired an audio recording in which Ford says he wants to "fucking jam" fellow candidate Karen Stintz.
"Ford was seen buying shooters and trying to fight with patrons in the Royal York Rd. bar Monday," it says.
Wow.
