Mayor Rob Ford Gives Weak Denial Claims He Never Smoked Crack Cocaine.

After several days of silence, Toronto’s disgusting mayor Rob Ford finally denies he smoked crack. Why did Ford take so long to make a response to the serious drug allegations? However, the problem is Ford didn’t actually deny that he ever smoked crack cocaine in his life time.

Ford simply said at the moment he’s not smoking crack cocaine which is a very weak denial. If you read between the lines, Ford is actually not denying if he ever used crack in his lifetime.

Ford’s response is not going to stop the media from attacking him due to the fact his answer was vague. If Ford was adamant that he NEVER smoked crack and he issued a strong denial perhaps this circus would come to a close. Meanwhile, Ford’s reputation is shattered he’s a disgrace to the city of Toronto and the Canadian people. Ford has become a distraction to the work that should be conducted at City Hall. Unfortunately, the Municipal Act doesn’t allow a mayor to be removed from office. Ford’s entitlement issues were on display during his press conference. There are still many questions left unanswered.

Breaking News: Toronto’s Obese Mayor Rob Ford Accused Of Smoking Crack Cocaine.

Once again, Toronto’s disgusting homophobic mayor Rob Ford makes a jackass of himself. Ford is accused of smoking crack in a video which reporters from the American website Gawker and the Toronto Star have watched. In the video, Ford calls Liberal leader Justin Trudeau a “fag”. In the video, Ford also made disparaging comments about people of colour saying “fucking minorities”.

Is anyone surprised? Ford continues to dig his grave he just keeps on making a fool of himself. The worst part about this drug scandal is the city of Toronto is being dragged into this mess. Ford’s crack scandal is receiving international media attention from CNN, Fox news, the Guardian, and other media outlets. Of course, Ford denies the allegations since he denies everything whenever he does something wrong. Ford has a strong sense of entitlement he is never wrong and he is always right. I can’t wait until the video is released so this jackass is forced to resign.

Disappointing News: Yunel Escobar Only Gets A Three Game Suspension For Homophobic Anti Gay Slur!!!

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar has been suspended for three games for displaying a gay slur written in Spanish on his face during a home game on Saturday.

The measures were announced just before a news conference at Yankee Stadium Tuesday afternoon before the Blue Jays opened a three-game series against New York on Tuesday night.

The Blue Jays also announced that the salary lost by Escobar during his suspension will be directed by the You Can Play and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

The team said that Escobar will participate in an outreach initiative to help educate society about sensitivity and tolerance to others based on their sexual orientation.

Escobar will also participate in a sensitivity training program in accordance with the Blue Jays and the MLB.

The incident stemmed from Saturday’s game at Rogers Centre against the Boston Red Sox in which Tu Ere Maricon was written on an eye black sticker that Escobar wore.

The phrase’s most common English translation is ‘You Are A Faggot’.

It went unnoticed that Escobar was displaying the slur until several pictures began being posted online Monday afternoon clearly show the player with the message written on his eye black, a black patch athletes wear under their eyes to reduce the sun’s glare.

Escobar was scratched from Sunday’s game after the team reported he had come down with “flu-like symptoms” and the Blue Jays had an off-day on Monday.

ATP Tour Interview With Top Twenty Rising Canadian Star Milos Raonic!!!

ROGERS CUP 2012

Toronto, Canada

by Nima Naderi

|07.08.2012

RaonicCanada’s Milos Raonic is making his third main draw appearance at the Rogers Cup.

Canadian Milos Raonic has been blazing up the South African Airways ATP Rankings with three titles in the past two years, and has quickly become the talk of the tennis world wherever he goes. Receiving well-deserved hype for being the next big-time player to challenge the likes ofNovak DjokovicRafael Nadaland Roger Federer, many observers believe that he is one breakthrough away from a Grand Slam title.

Raonic took some time out to discuss what he likes to do when he’s home in Toronto and what the Canadian system needs to do in order to produce more world class players.

You grew up in Thornhill. What do you like best about that neighbourhood?

I like the area in general. It allowed my family to feel comfortable whenever I was out and about. I also like the varieties of food, from all you can eat sushi, to Korean barbecue, to shawarma — you have everything you want and it’s very good quality. You are close to downtown Toronto, but also far away enough from it so that you don’t get caught up in the wrong things.

As a kid/teenager, did you venture much to downtown Toronto? What were some of your favourite places?

I went downtown mostly for tennis when I was younger, to play at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club or the Cricket Club, but when I did go for other things it was mostly for my friends or to go to the Eaton Centre. Now I go more to enjoy a night out.

How often do you make it back to Toronto during the year? What do you like to do when you’re back?

I make it back a few times a year, but never for more than two weeks. I just like to relax and forget about tennis for a little when I’m outside theRogers Cup. I try to do different things every time to learn more about the city. I tend to go down to the Lakeshore a bit to walk, and to the west side of the city for good food.

Where in Toronto did you learn to play tennis?

I started at the Blackmore Tennis Club in Richmond Hill. I spent many years there. I also attended many different clubs — I trained for a few years at the Cricket Club. Now when I come home I normally go to the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club and the Rexall Centre.

Do you think Toronto is well-equipped to breed tennis players?

Yes. I think the weather is not the best for tennis but there are definitely the facilities. I think the only problem can be the fees for both court times and memberships. But I hope the clubs lower this for kids they see have potential and try to support them like the clubs I attended did for me and my family.

What advice would you give to Toronto kids aspiring to play on the ATP World Tour? At what point should a junior think about getting instruction elsewhere?

Hard work always pays off. In tennis as in all sports there are always up and downs, but stick to it. Surround yourself with people you trust and believe in the work you do — that will get you far. The rest takes a bit of good fortune and luck. I ventured out of Canada for the competition and because I wanted to surround myself with people I knew could make the best of my abilities.

Where does the Rogers Cup rank in terms of your favourite tournaments? Do you feel the home court gives you an advantage over other players?

I think it’s one of my favourites. I think the only tournament that trumps it for me is Wimbledon and only because of its prestige, and the fact that it’s a grand slam and the ultimate dream for me.

What are your three favourite Toronto restaurants?

I like All Star, for its amazing selection of wings. I make sure to go there at least once when I am home. I like a lot of different all-you-can-eat sushi places. I can’t name one because I think they all differ a bit — some have better sashimi and some have better rolls, so I try to change spots often. I also enjoy Lee. I’ve been there once before and was impressed.

What’s something you’ve experienced in other cities you’d like to see in Toronto?

Better weather. Also, internationally, you see a lot of success in many different sports and I think Toronto and Canada should become more passionate about sports other than just hockey. We have great athletes and talents.

What do other ATP tour players like about coming to Toronto? What don’t they like about the city?

They like a lot of things. Sometimes they feel Toronto is so big and it’s easy to get lost in the city, or they wish there was more culture and history like in European cities. They think Toronto girls are beautiful.
