Similar Stories to New Video Emerges Of Toronto Mayor on Bing News

TORONTO (AP) — A new video that surfaced Thursday shows Toronto Mayor Rob Ford in a rambling rage, using threatening words including "kill" and "murder," as the saga that has gripped Canadians for months took yet another twist. Police obtained that video in the course of a massive drug investigation into the mayor's friend and occasional driver. Despite immense pressure from allies and critics, the mayor of North America's fourth largest city has refused to resign or take a leave of absence. Earlier Thursday, Morris said he was in talks with the police for Ford to view the video that appears to show the mayor smoking crack, as city councilors stepped up their efforts to force him from office. The mayor's travails were taking their toll on his supporters, meanwhile, as Canada's finance minister became emotional when asked about Ford, who acknowledged this week for the first time that he smoked crack "probably a year ago" when he was in a "drunken stupor." Even before the new video's emergence, members of Toronto's City Council were already trying to ramp up their campaign to force Ford from office, despite facing steep hurdles. Municipal law makes no provision for the mayor's forced removal from office unless he's convicted and jailed for a criminal offence. The amendment takes the unprecedented step of asking the province of Ontario to pass legislation to remove the mayor should he not agree to take a leave of absence. Ford acknowledged a drinking problem for the first time Sunday, saying on his radio show that he was "hammered" in public at a street festival in August and "out of control" drunk, carrying a half empty bottle of brandy around city hall after St.
