It all began when Sarah Thomson, who has been struggling to win credibility for her mayoral campaign, released the results of a drug test nobody asked her to take, then challenged the other candidates to do likewise. Later in the day, according to the Post, Rob Ford responded with the amount of bluster we’ve come to expect from him on all matters substance-related: “I’ll be the first to do it if everyone else does it,” he said. John Tory is also on board, in principle. “If [Ford is] first,” the Post quotes him as saying, “then I’ll be second.”
