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.
the crack video: • Rob Ford crack video released

Being from Toronto, Rob Ford is one of the least embarrassing things about this city.
-
"I wasn't lying, you didn't ask the correct questions" is a heck of a defense...
-
The "I have more than enough to eat at home" quip solidified Rob's spot in my heart.
-
I actually remember this happening. When I was younger, around 7 or so, I would have this fake newspaper I would write, and I wrote a story on it called a tough case to crack.
-
if Chris Farley was still alive, this would've been his greatest role
-
“I’m happily married, I have more than enough to eat at home.” Ultimate mic drop moment.
-
You also missed when he was doing a weight loss challenge. While he was getting weighed and he went to step off the scale and rolled his ankle badly. Then the next day he was spotted getting fast food. Another time he was doing paperwork on his steering wheel while driving down the 401 freeway
-
Canadians are always so polite. He was using his manners in the middle of telling them to get out of his driveway. 😂
-
Bruh, if Chris Farley was still alive he would be the best at portraying Rob Ford in SNL Skits or a movie.
-
I also remember a hilarious video of Rob being super drunk and maybe high in a restaurant that was big news at the time
-
This mayor is hilarious the part with him defending himself saying he’s married and has plenty to eat at home. While saying I didn’t ask to eat her push on a live interview has me dying!! 😂😂😂😂I’m surprised anyone kept a straight face
-
"Smoking crack isnt necessary a bad thing" Truly one of the quotes of this lifetime
-
As a kid growing up in Toronto I remember taking a class field trip to meet him. It being around the time of this controversy we were all terrified of him. He was so big and his head was like a red balloon squeezing itself out the top of his suit. I shook his hand and it was really sweaty and gross. Very surreal experience.

"I've got more than enough to eat at home" A Canadian Heritage Moment.
-
Honestly he handled his words on the subject impressively well. He technically never denied smoking crack 1 time
-
I can’t get passed the “ I got more than enough to eat at home “ comment 😂😂
-
Rob Ford reminds me a lot of Bender when he temporarily became human. Say what you want about the man but cancer is horrible
-
“I’ve got more than enough to eat at home” lol that line always gets me
-
Truly a Canadian Heritage Moment.

Dude I'm so glad I found your channel; all the other info-dumping YouTubers are either mean/cruel towards the subjects of their videos, or their voices/backgrounds are annoying, or their information isn't even good. You've found a way to sound and look interesting, your voice doesn't grind my bones 😅, and all your information is always solid. Your ads aren't even irritating! I like your style. And I love to see your number of patrons grow as I watch older-to-newer videos! I'd support you too if sending YouTubers cash was in my budget 🤣 maybe some day 🧡 Thank you endlessly for all your hard work and dedication, sir.
