Toronto (Canada) (AFP) - New allegations that Toronto's crack-smoking mayor also snorted cocaine and partied with a possible prostitute surfaced Wednesday, as the city council voted to ask him to stand aside.

Rob Ford, the leader of Canada's biggest city, has a starring role in a 500-page police report citing witnesses alleging he snorted drugs in bar and took the prescription opiate OxyContin recreationally.

The report, which was released Wednesday, also says he partied with a woman whom witnesses believed to be a prostitute in his City Hall office and pressured municipal staff to buy him alcohol.

On more than one occasion, women were said to have come to the mayor's office and said Ford had offered them jobs after they'd smoked joints with him outside bars, his staff told police.

2. If this guy was in the US, he'd be a Republican.

"Well, he smoked crack, was drunk in public, and partied with hookers... but at least he didn't raise my taxes!"

13. I can't remember who said it

maybe a Toronto Councillor who was fed up...they said they have known Rob Ford long enough to know he is not going to leave unless it's in handcuffs or on a stretcher. I think that's where we are headed with this, sadly.

4. The title of that article didn't sound biased at all.

8. Sounds perfectly accurate to me, considering that's all Ford's been for the last several months. nt

5. Why isnt there a clause in ANY city where if you break a major law you HAVE to resign??

And we need the same type rule for politicians

10. Maybe his office can be moved into a jail cell?

Mayor Ford will see you now...

6. I'm watching from Ottawa in utter disbelief.

I think I'm going to move to Victoria BC just to put as much distance as I can between me and that a-hole. Canada's very own Marion Barry. Jesus, what an em-barry-sment.

7. The guy is skating on the razor blade

of a political death wish.
Lovely thing about cocaine..makes ya feel ever so invincible.

I thought Jon Stewart's serious plea to him to get help was a very kind gesture.

9. what is this world coming to....

when an elected official can't even smoke a little crack, snort a little cocaine, ingest a little OxyContin, and screw a hooker in his office without having to worry about losing his job. There is just no such thing as job security these days.

[AAO]

14. Just what I was thinking - Canada - the new Iran!
