In his apology, Ford said he had been under "tremendous, tremendous stress."
Ford was apparently
referring to graphic language he used in denying a female staffer's
accusation that he sought to perform oral sex.
In another development
about the controversial mayor, he and his brother Doug, who's also a
member of the Toronto City Council, will begin broadcasting their own TV
show on Canada's Sun News Network on Monday, the brother confirmed to
CNN.
Their "Ford Nation" show
will air Monday nights and picks up where the two brothers left off on
their talk radio show, which ended its run last week, the network said on its website. A headline on that site posed the question, "Canada's Ultimate Reality Show?"
The website quoted
Councilor Doug Ford saying about the mayor, "Rob is like Howard Stern or
Rush Limbaugh" and "You just never know what he is going to say."
The network continued:
"The mayor and his brother, will have the opportunity to express their
views on events past and future. News networks like CNN regularly
broadcast his latest utterings.
"Mayor Ford seems to be in a no-holds-barred mode. There is no filter. There is no careful treading."
Critics of Sun News Network have described its conservatism as "Fox News North," according to a story about its launch in 2011 by the Toronto Globe and Mail.
Councilor Ford came to
his brother's defense Wednesday on the floor of the city council. But
the council voted Wednesday to ask Mayor Ford to take a leave of
absence, following his admission last week that he had smoked crack
cocaine. Mayor Ford also recently confessed to having purchased illegal
drugs in the past two years, while he was in office.
But Mayor Ford has steadfastly refused to step down.
Also Thursday, Ontario
Premier Kathleen Wynne said she was disturbed by recent events involving
the Toronto mayor, and while it's not the province's role to impose its
preferences on a city's government, the province would respond and
provide new tools to the Toronto City Council if it indicated it needs
help to carry out its duties, Wynne said.
If so, she would consult other parties to see what could be done so that partisan politics wouldn't be involved, she said.
Meanwhile, in addressing
the ongoing controversy Thursday, Mayor Ford acknowledged that he had
drunk alcohol in excess, but said he was receiving support from a team
of health care professionals.
"I am taking
accountability and receiving advice from people with expertise," he
said. "I do not want to comment on the particulars of this support."
Earlier in the day, Ford
responded to the latest accusations by saying he is taking legal action
against former staffers who claimed the mayor brought a woman appearing
to be an escort to his office and drank alcohol while driving.
The new allegations
surfaced Wednesday in more than 500 pages of court documents that were
used by Canadian police to get a search warrant for Alexander Lisi,
Ford's friend and occasional driver, whom police accuse of marijuana
possession and trafficking.
While outside his office
Thursday, Ford responded to accusations of drinking and driving by
telling reporters, "I'm sure none of you have never gotten behind the
wheel after taking a drink."
He said the allegations in the documents are "outright lies" and "not true."
The documents include
police interviews with former staff members, information obtained from
surveillance crews and cameras, and even an examination of the mayor's
garbage.
Several staffers said
they were asked to buy alcohol for the mayor of Canada's largest city.
One incident described by a former staffer alleged that Ford, while
driving, stopped the vehicle, guzzled some vodka, and drove on.
Ford's former press
secretary George Christopoulos also said women often came to the mayor's
office, "and told staffers that they have smoked a joint with the mayor
on the street outside of the bar. These women were told by the mayor
that they could have a job." Christopoulos would then have to interview
these women and try to talk them out of a job.
None of the allegations against Ford has been substantiated by investigators, and Ford faces no criminal charges.
On Thursday, Ford also
said the so-called "escort" wasn't a prostitute but a family friend. He
added that such allegations "hurt my wife."
"It makes me sick," he added. "I've had enough."
Police
this morning released four low-resolution photos of a car, perhaps a
Subaru, driven by the suspect who broke into a Dunkin’ Donuts shop in
Carver, in hopes of identifying the man who made off with an unspecified
amount of cash.
The suspect in the robbery smashed the drive-through window glass at the shop at 2 Montello St. early Wednesday morning, entered the store, and made off with the contents of a cash register drawer, officials said.
Police are hoping to have the video enhanced, and could only offer vague details regarding the car and the suspect.
“There is some video of him coming in the store that we are hoping to enhance,” said Carver Police Chief Marc Duphily. “He is a white male, wearing a hoodie, and you can’t really see his face.”
There have been two dozen Dunkin’ Donuts shops robbed in Massachusetts since March. All of those robberies have happened while the stores were still open, most of them in the evening. Most of the robberies happened in communities south of Boston.
Police have only officially connected five of the 24 robberies, but police from all the communities where the robberies happened are sharing information and coordinating with each other.
In 22 of the stickups, the suspect has brandished a gun or a knife, and has been described as a white man between 19 and 30 years of age.
The suspect’s gender and description from the Carver break-in seem to match certain characteristics of the previous stickups, but the time of the incident was different and it was a break-in rather than a robbery. Police would not say that the Carver crime was connected to the others.
“Right now, I still can’t say if this is connected,” Duphily said. “It’s a different M.O. (modus operandi), and we don’t have enough good video footage to say one way or the other.”
