Rob Ford reportedly Ticketed for Public Intoxication in Vancouver Area
Source: the province
Global B.C. is reporting that Toronto mayor Rob Ford was ticketed for public intoxication and jaywalking around the boundary of Burnaby and Coquitlam. Global interviewed Ian Currie, who says he saw the mayor getting ticketed and ran over for a photo.
He said, I f---ed up, boys, Currie told Global, adding that Ford also said, I thought it was looser on the West Coast. I thought you were cooler over here.
Police refused to confirm they had ticketed Ford, citing public safety issues, but several people posted photos online of themselves with Ford. Ford appeared to be wearing the same suit and tie he wore when he arrived at Vancouver airport earlier in the day.

We'll take Bieber back on the condition you take Ford and make him mayor of some hick town in Alabama or Florida, or something.
Just get him the hell out of Toronto, and we're good.

You "thought"? I find that hard to believe.
Idiot.

It might be worth noting that in the OP.
I thought this was satire. "I f---ed up boys?" Really?

(45,984 posts)That in itself is a very interesting question.
In any case, I don't think it was Diet Coke, unless that means something on the street that it doesn't mean at the supermarket.

(101,321 posts)At least, the police weren't concerned with him being intoxicated.

(45,984 posts)That quibble on Diet Coke was such a good one.

(602 posts)And with Conrad Black recently being stripped of his honours (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014715730), Harper has an Order of Canada just waiting to be filled. Sadly, I'd be only a tad surprised....
Having said that, I also have to say that I don't believe anyone who is mentally healthy behaves like this. He's clearly decompensating. So I do feel a bit sorry for him and wish he'd get some serious help. On the other hand, I'm moving back to Toronto shortly, and I'm really worried he'll be reelected, which is just a mind-boggling prospect.
