- 'Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine.'
There is so much going on right now here in Toronto. So much juicy stuff is coming out. The mayor has back peddled on that whole not being a crack head thing. His defence seems to be that he smoked while he was in a drunken stupor. Seriously. Rob Ford is such a god damn asshole, his fall from grace is some seriously satisfying stuff. All of this almost makes up for the fact he basically ruined this city for however many years.
