A new video of Mayor Rob Ford emerged Tuesday that shows him swearing and slurring his words while apparently trying to imitate a Jamaican accent.

In the video posted on YouTube, Ford is shown in a fast food restaurant rambling and talking about police surveillance. He appears to call police chief Bill Blair a derogatory name.

Ford, who said in November that he quit drinking, told reporters outside his office Tuesday that he drank on Monday night and acknowledged it was him in the video. When asked by a reporter if he also did drugs, Ford said no.

“I was there, I had met some friends and if I speak that way that’s how I speak with one of my friends,” Ford said.

“It has nothing to do with you guys. It’s my own time. It’s my own friend.”

The video is titled “New Video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Drunk, Swearing in Jamaican Patois? Bumbaclot.”

“Chase me around for five months,” the mayor says in the video.

“Leave me alone . and then try and tell me, we’re counter-surveilling the guy. He’s hiding here, I’m hiding here. Oh, we don’t know?” he says before rambling incoherently.

Mark Pugush, a spokesman for Police Chief Blair, said they don’t respond to personal attacks.

Ford said in November that he was finished with drinking alcohol after having a “come to moment.” He snapped at reporters and denied he was drinking after pictures emerged last week of him at a night club.

The mayor acknowledged last year that he smoked crack “in one of my drunken stupors” after police said they obtained a copy of a tape that appears to show him smoking crack. He refused to resign.

Ford at first denied the existence of the tape. He faced intense pressure to resign after U.S. website Gawker and The Toronto Star newspaper reported in May on the existence of the video that appeared to show the then 300-pound-plus (135-kilogram) mayor, sitting in a chair, inhaling from what appears to be a crack pipe. The tape hasn’t been released.

The City Council stripped Ford of most of his powers in the fall but lacked the authority to force him out because he wasn’t convicted of a crime.

The mayor was the subject of a police investigation but was never charged. According to police interviews, staffers accused Ford of frequently drinking.

City councilor Joe Mihevc said the tape appears to show that Ford has not stopped drinking and continues to be an embarrassment to the city of Toronto.

City Councilor Michael Thompson, who is black, said he was shocked. “Is that the mayor speaking Jamaican? Wow,” Thompson said reports showed him the video. “I’m numb.”

Thompson called it a sad day and said the mayor needs to seek help.

City councilor Jaye Robinson said it’s disturbing to see Ford drinking because he repeatedly said he quit.

“Clearly he was intoxicated,” Robinson said. “He’s creating fodder for international press and for late night television shows.”
