AT 45, HE'S A YOUNG MAN WHO SHOULD BE IN HIS PRIME BUT WITH THIS TYPE OF CANCER THE ODDS OF SURVIVAL IS A CRAPSHOOT. THE BOOK, CRAZY TOWN: THE ROB FORD STORY WAS RELEASED IN FEBRUARY OF 2014 AND HAS ALREADY BEEN OPTIONED OFF AS A MOVIE PROJECT.
SOMEHOW, I IMAGINE FORD COMING THROUGH THIS ORDEAL TOO. OLDER AND WISER.
FROM WIKIPEDIA;
On St. Patrick's Day in March 2012, Ford was "very intoxicated" at City Hall and a downtown restaurant. According to those attending, Ford held a "wild party" in his office. Ford knocked down a staffer, insulted others, then went to the BierMarkt restaurant. After "flailing around" on the restaurant's dance floor, Ford returned to City Hall by cab, making racial slurs to the driver. The Mayor then wandered around City Hall after 2 AM with a bottle of brandy, swearing at his staffer Earl Provost before security arranged for him to be taken home.
On May 16, 2013, American gossip website Gawker said it had been offered a video showing Ford apparently smoking crack cocaine.[159] Gawker editor John Cook reported that he viewed the video and described that it features Ford holding a clear glass pipe in one hand and a lighter in the other. According to Cook, Ford subsequently lights the pipe and inhales.[160][161] The next day, two Toronto Star reporters wrote that they had also viewed the clip, on a smartphone in the backseat of a car on May 3, and noted that they have "no way to verify the authenticity of the video" but that it "appears to clearly show Ford in a well-lit room" and "inhaling from what appears to be a glass crack pipe."[159][162] On May 17, Ford denied the allegations, calling them, "Absolutely not true."[163]
In a short public response later that day, Mayor Ford said, "I have no reason to resign, I'm going to go back and return my phone calls, gonna be out doing what the people elected me to do and that's save taxpayers money and run a great government."[5]
On November 5, 2013, Mayor Ford admitted to having smoked crack cocaine saying, "Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine but ... am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Um, probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately about a year ago."[6] Responding to why the admission took so long, Ford said, "I wasn't lying. You didn't ask the correct questions."[179] In a statement made to the press at the end of the day, Ford issued an apology and reiterated his plans to stay in office and to run for reelection.[180]
An Ipsos Reid poll was released showing that 76% of Torontonians want Ford to step down or resign.[184]
"Olivia Gondek. It said I want to eat her pussy. I've never said that in my life to her. I would never do that. I'm happily married. I've got more than enough to eat at home."[189][190]
On January 21, 2014, a new video surfaced depicting Ford, allegedly intoxicated at a restaurant in Rexdale while speaking Jamaican Patois.[194][195]
On January 29, 2014, in an interview with the Toronto Sun, Ford denied allegations he was involved in the death of Anthony Smith, who was shot to death on March 28, 2013.[196][197][198]
On April 30, 2014, the Globe and Mail had received a screen capture of a video that had allegedly been recorded April 26. The video depicts the mayor smoking from what appears to be a long, copper-coloured crack pipe, in his sister Kathy's basement. As the video pans around, a man resembling the mayor's former driver Alessandro Lisi is seen.[210]
As of May 1, Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly assumed the remainder of Ford's powers that were not already delegated to him by City Council in November.[217] Ford returned to office June 30, 2014 after two months in rehab.[11][218]
Ford was admitted to Humber River Regional Hospital in North York on September 10, 2014. Ford suffered severe stomach pains for 3 months prior which became unbearable on Monday September 10, 2014. Preliminary examinations such as CT scanning revealed that Ford suffered an abdominal tumor, and biopsy is required to determine its benign or malignant nature.[221]
It was announced on September 12, 2014 that Ford will not run in the upcoming mayoral election; his brother Doug will run in his place. Ford instead opted to run for his old Ward 2 seat on the City Council.
On Wednesday, September 17, 2014, Dr. Zane Cohen, a specialist in colorectal surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital who is treating Mayor Ford, said that the mayor was suffering from pleomorphic liposarcoma,[222] a rare and difficult to treat sarcoma arising in the abdominal fat cells. He will likely shortly begin treatment with multiple potent chemotherapeutic agents; the doctor did not say if Ford would need to have surgery and/or radiation treatments.[223]
