Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admits to smoking crack cocaine..

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford talks on his weekly radio show in Toronto.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford dropped a bombshell at City Hall on Tuesday, admitting to reporters that he has smoked crack cocaine.

"Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," Ford told reporters after arriving at City Hall on Tuesday.
The revelation comes after months of Ford denying he has a substance abuse problem, and days after Chief Bill Blair confirmed investigators had recovered a video reportedly showing Ford smoking from a crack pipe.
Ford claimed that he hasn't been lying to reporters who, for the past six months, have been demanding Ford come clean about his drug history. Ford claimed that he smoked crack about a year ago, but he wasn't exactly sure when.
“I don’t even remember. Probably in one of my drunken stupors. You guys have seen the state I’ve been in,” Ford is quoted as saying.

Councillors continued to call on Ford to step down and seek rehab. Coun. Paula Fletcher told CP24 that there are concerns his troubles are even deeper than he was willing to admit.
Coun. John Fillion says he is drafting a motion that would have the mayor's powers frozen for the time being. "The train wreck is in sight. The train wreck is happening. We need to get rid of this distraction," Filion told reporters.

Another motion has already been drafted by conservative councillors Denzil Minnan-Wong and Peter Milczyn calling on Ford to address the issue in a very serious manner.
