In the wake of his return to City Hall this week after a two-month stint in rehab, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford sat down for interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to discuss his history of drug abuse.
Ford denied, however, doing drugs in his mayoral office — though he did admit to having been drunk on the job. "No, this was all on personal time. I was definitely under the influence of alcohol... but there was no drug use here," Ford said. "But at the end of the day, it's all a substance — alcohol, drugs, it's a substance-abuse problem."
