Mayor stonewalls council on rehab requests

Mayor Ford has stonewalled members of City Council this morning as they attempt to make him understand that his behaviour has been unacceptable and that “apologies” are not sufficient. In reply to his supporter, George Mammoliti, the mayor said that he was guilty of “utter stupidity” and would not agree that his decision to smoke crack cocaine was caused by stress. Councillor Shiner asked if the mayor had admitted all of his mistakes. Mayor Ford said he didn’t know. “I don’t know what’s out there.” In response to the question, “Will you get help?” The reply was “I am not an addict. Why are you asking me if I need help?
