Rob Ford Crack-Smoking Video Is the Feel-Good Hit of the Summer (Video)

Video of former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack has finally been released to the public, offering an intimate glimpse into the private life of Canada’s own Marion Barry.

In the video, Ford — who died in March — can be seen lighting up, and lighting into current Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.

“Trudeau right there, I’d like, I’d like to get that f–kin’ Justin Trudeau and shove my foot as far up his ass,” an offscreen voice is heard saying.

“Fat dick,” Ford replies, apparently without irony.

Ford also repeatedly expresses how important children are to him, which should probably go without saying.

According to the Toronto Star, the video was released after an extortion charge was dropped against Ford’s friend and former driver Alexander “Sandro” Lisi on Thursday.

Famous for his struggles with substance abuse, Ford passed away at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital following an 18-month battle with cancer on Mar. 22.

Elected as a long-shot outsider, the colorful politician drew scrutiny in 2013 when news stories circulated that he had smoked crack cocaine on video. While comedians like Jon Stewart took notice, Ford initially denied the allegations before admitting, “Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine.”

While a city councilman in 2014, he was running for re-election as mayor of Canada’s biggest city at the time of his diagnosis. The crack likely didn’t help.

Watch Ford pipe up in the video.
