Rob Ford goes on a self-flagellation tour
Earlier today, Rob Ford sat down for rare one-one-one interviews with CP24 and CBC News, giving the two broadcasters the dubious honour of being the first to question the mayor formally, post-rehab. The answers (and, honestly, the questions) were nearly identical in both interviews. Ford was generally contrite, referring to his drug and alcohol problems as a “disease” that he’ll struggle with for the rest of his life. He admitted to having used a variety of substances even before becoming mayor. As he has in the past, though, he evaded questions about why he won’t speak to police investigators. He was similarly tight-lipped about LeeAnn McRobb, the woman who, during his rehab stay, was charged with driving his Escalade while intoxicated. If nothing else, Ford’s time in recovery has taught him a few more stock phrases. In both interviews, he repeated the following line when asked whether he could guarantee that the remainder of his term would be free of substance-abuse problems: “I know I didn’t drink yesterday, and I know I haven’t drank today. I’m taking it one day at a time.”

I hate this man. A politician must have a bi-directional conversation with the society he serves. Can wait for him to go.
Its himself and his family upbringing that is the cause, his “disease” only amplifies it.
A racist and homophobic misogynist does not stop being those things when sober. Being drunk just forces all of that ugliness to the surface. I agree – it’s past time he and his dubious condescending brother suffer defeat at the polls. Hopefully, never to return.
Of course, if Rob Ford falls off the wagon he will probably blame the media..
More cliches about ‘recovery’ from dear ol’ Robbo. Why am I thinking it’s just another scam?
actually he said…”i know i didn’t drink yesterday and I know I haven’t drunken today”….classic.
“I know I didn’t drink yesterday, and I know I haven’t drank today. I’m taking it one day at a time.”
that’s two days at a time
As if we could re-elect him for One Day At A Time (floods, ice storms, and other Acts of God not included)!
Racist – discriminating against people suffering from Affluenza!
