In Canada, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is taking a leave of absence after a new video emerged of him apparently smoking crack cocaine. A man claiming to be a drug dealer showed reporters footage he said was taken of Ford this past weekend. Ford is seen smoking from a metal pipe. The tape comes nearly a year after news first broke of an initial video of Ford smoking crack. Ford later admitted to drug use and other illegal behavior but has refused calls to step down. He’s now in the midst of a campaign for re-election. In a statement, Ford said he is taking a leave from campaigning to receive treatment for substance abuse. Ford said: “I know that I need professional help. I have struggled with this for some time.” Another newly released tape captures Ford making homophobic remarks as well as lewd comments about one of his female opponents.
