Rob Ford has announced to have formally submitted a notice to the city clerk informing that he is taking a personal leave from his duties as mayor of Toronto after acknowledging that he is seeking help for alcoholism. Director of the city’s strategic communications, Jackie DeSouza alleged that “no dates were indicated” of the mayor’s absence as the written notice says Ford will provide “further updates to his status.”

According to a public statement issued on late Wednesday night, Ford confirmed to have taken a break from his re-election campaign and from his mayoral duties to seek “immediate help.” There has been a growing speculation about a new crack video, of a lewd and crude audio tape and of two wild nights involving booze, drugs and Justin Bieber at a Toronto nightclub. Approached about the rumors, Toronto police Det. Sgt. Gary Giroux alleged that the investigation of the mayor he leads, Project Brazen 2, is still alive and they would like to see the new alleged crack video.

In her remarks, Premier Kathleen Wynne said that “this has been a distraction for a long time” so “I’ve been dealing with Deputy Mayor (Norm) Kelly since he was given decision-making authority by the city.”  City Councillor, Shelley Carroll, mentioned on Thursday morning at City Hall that “there are things in this tape that the people of this city can’t live with in their mayor, drunk or sober.” Whereas, Councillor Janet Davis alleged that “I think it’s time for the mayor to leave. 30 days doesn’t cut it.”
