The fact that this is getting such widespread attention is making Toronto look like a farce, and as someone from there, it really upsets me. Now when I tell people I'm from Toronto, it will be, "Oh, that's the city with the crack smoking mayor right?"

Really unfortunate and despicable. Cannot believe we voted this idiot into office.

To be fair, this: "Oh, that's the city with the crack smoking mayor right?" Could also refer to Washington DC.
Washington DC would be "Oh, that's the city with the crack smoking mayor who was reelected, right?"
Welcome to the club! I come from the country that voted one Silvio Berlusconi to head the government. Multiple times. For 20 years.
I find that it makes Toronto more interesting. A mayor smoking crack? It doesn't get better than that, and it was about time someone turned it up a notch--having multiple mistresses is for the rookies. This guy knows how to party and I would expect him to be reelected :D.

Plus from what I can tell he wasn't busting crackheads left and right while doing the drug himself. That gets more respect than uh, let's say a guy busting prostitution rings while banging prostitutes himself lol.
