Holy christ this shitshow is turning into sheer lunacy. Ford supporters are trolling everywhere they go, like a bad case of municipal crabs. Meanwhile today's council session was like something out of a ... well, a Toronto city council session.
Highlight reel:
- Council voted to ask Ford to take a leave of absence
- When asked if he had ever physically beaten or assaulted a member of his own staff, Ford replied "Probably not."
- When asked what other skeletons would be pulled from his closet, Ford said "I don't know what else people have filmed."
- Ford inadvertantly admitted to outright purchase of illegal drugs, where previously he had only admitted to consumption of them
- We had the classic bullshit high school scene of "I'm holding him back, bro!" When Rob moved to 'fight' another councillor and Doug 'held him back'
- More information from the police report was released this afternoon, suggesting there were hookers in the mayor's office and that Ford has smoked dope with young girls, promising them jobs in his office. There were also suggested lines about "other mind-altering substances". More on this should come out soon as the various news sources digest the new police release
- Rob offered to pay for drug testing for all of city council, appearing quite familiar with different types of drug tests, specifiying he wanted hair tests. Brother Doug flat out accused other councillors of also doing drugs (oh boy)
Also some dude was shot dead down the street from work after waving a gun at the cops. Today has not been short of interesting things.
