On Saturday, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was filmed, sauced, at a street festival in the city’s Greektown neighborhood. While Ford later admitted to quaffing a few beers, there's a moment in the clip where he seems to mention some other substance. Possibly a mind-altering substance. Or perhaps eau de toilette. But which?

Today, we located the house where the infamous photo of Rob Ford with his arms around two kids who were later gunned down in a gangland-style shooting was taken. It's in Toronto's Etobicoke neighborhood, near the intersection of Windsor Rd. and Kingsview Blvd., in the shadow of the apartment towers where Ford told his…

Before the Rob Ford Crackstarter—our crowdfunding effort to purchase and publish a video of Toronto mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine—reached its $200,000 goal last month, we let everyone know that we had lost contact with the people who have custody of the video.

A group of reporters gathered outside Rob Ford's house this morning asking for comment on a video— seen "not just by the Toronto Star, sir, it's also The Gawker"—that shows the mayor smoking crack. Said Ford, the "allegations are absolutely not true. I don't — it's ridiculous."

In a matter of hours, Robert Bruce Ford has gone from being known as "Toronto's conservative mayor" to "Toronto's crack-smoking mayor." But we're getting ahead of ourselves here. Before he was Rob Ford, Crack Smoker, he was Rob Ford, Canadian Football Fan. Or Rob Ford, Wildly Racist Bigot. You might even know him as…

Rob Ford, Toronto's conservative mayor, is a wild lunatic given to making bizarre racist pronouncements and randomly slapping refrigerator magnets on cars. One reason for this is that he smokes crack cocaine. I know this because I watched him do it, on a videotape. He was fucking hiiiiigh. It's for sale if you've got…
