Friday, September 19, 2025 - 31 minutes
"Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine. But do I? Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately a year ago."
That gem of a quote comes courtesy of the late Rob Ford, who served as the Mayor of Canada's largest city for 4 years. Throughout his term in office, he faced numerous scandals, but it all came to a head when rumours started swirling that Ford had been caught on video smoking crack.
We're going to go on a journey into the life & times of one of the most controversial figures in Canadian political history with an episode I'm calling Crack, Lies, and Videotape: The Rise and Fall of Rob Ford.
