Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says he no longer uses illegal drugs, goes to the gym every day and doesn’t drink as much as he used to.
Ford told NBC’s “Today” show that while he has had a few drinks since the show’s host Matt Lauer interviewed him in November, it hasn’t been “to the point of some of the episodes before.”
The interview comes a month after a video surfaced showing Ford inebriated at a restaurant, rambling in a Jamaican accent and using profanity.
The mayor admitted he had been drinking that night, saying, “maybe you’re perfect, but I’m not.”
Ford is running for re-election this year, despite admitting last fall to smoking crack cocaine while in office.
He told Lauer that he was only experimenting with illegal drugs.

I have a lot of respect for research scientists and experiments, but – umm – saying you are “experimenting” with illegal drugs doesn’t exactly sublimate the act. When a Doctor “practices,” is he just spending a few minutes perfecting his act? Not exactly. Practicing with drugs is what this guy is/was doing. This is awfully pathetic. This narcissist is in full-blown denial and is a disgrace to his office. Aren’t the Canadians ashamed? I don’t hear the outcry.
This dude is awsome! He would be a perfect Mayor for NYC.
why, he’d be almost as good as Obama!
oh canada – it’s not enuff he shamed himself here but he is now our international envoy. after he dies i bet he won’t even turn over in his grave. he is so FAT he will need help. he smokes pot and gets a pot belly.
