Rob Ford

Rob Ford was a Canadian politican from 2010 from 2014 who made headlines in 2013 when a video emerged of him smoking from a crack pipe while he was still serving as mayor of Toronto.

The Video
While Rob Ford was serving as mayor a short but shocking video of him blew up and made headlines of him appartly smoking crack. Immediately after the video surfaced Rob Ford issued a statement denying any use of crack and “As for a video, I cannot comment on a video that I have never seen or does not exist,” he said. Ford was never charged but police ended up finding the video and Ford later admitted to using crack maybe "once". For the 2014 elections Ford registered as a canidate even with the video surfacing but ultimatly withdrew due to the findings of a tumor in his abdomen. He passed away on 2016.
