Twist: The drug dealers take the money and give it to the local community centre in their poor neighbourhood somewhere in Toronto.
Ford: GET ME A FOOTBALL TEAM TO COACH
Chief of Staff: You know I think we should focus on the video of you smoking crack
Ford: GET OUT!
Totally fired."I am no longer the chief of staff. I did not resign," he said.

They gotten almost $1500 in less than an hour. I think it'll make it, especially the longer Ford goes making mistakes.

As of this writing, the Rob Ford Crackstarterour attempt to crowdfund $200,000 to purchase and publish a video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocainehas exceeded $145,000. At the rate it's going, we will reach our goal by Saturday, if not sooner. Since it looks like the money may actually come together, we are going to lay out the present state of play as clearly as we can. First order of business: The last time we established contact with the people who are in possession of the video was this past Sunday, and we have not been able to reach them since.

I haven't actually laughed in a while.
I guess it's hard to laugh when your world is falling apart around you.
Mark Towhey was fired as Mayor Rob Ford's chief of staff because he told Ford in no uncertain terms to "go away and get help," a source close to the mayor's office has told CBC News.
Towhey was unceremoniously dumped from his job Thursday in the midst of a scandal that has ripped apart Toronto municipal politics — with the city's colourful mayor caught in the midst of allegations that he was recorded smoking crack cocaine.
The story broke last week and shortly after Towhey faced down the mayor telling him he needed help.
"There's nothing more I can do for you," the source quoted Towhey as telling Ford. The chief of staff then told Ford to "go away and get help."
On May 17, the day after the U.S. gossip website Gawker and the Toronto Star both reported the existence of a recording of the mayor smoking something that appears to be crack cocaine, Ford made a public appearance at an annual ceremony at Nathan Phillips Square, where Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) held a flag raising ceremony to recognize the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.
At the end of the ceremony Ford left quickly and just a few minutes later was closeted in a room with his top advisers to discuss the cocaine scandal.
Towhey is said to have gathered together the inner circle and presented Ford with options.
The source said Ford was presented with three options, though exactly what those options were is not known.
But when it became clear the meeting "was not going anywhere," Towhey cleared the room and presented the mayor with one option and told him for the third time, "You have a problem. Go away and fix it."
The source said Ford repeatedly laughed off attempts to enter rehab.
When the others returned to the room Towhey told them the mayor had chosen the fourth option — to do nothing.
Oh boy, guys. We're not alone in OT Community anymore. They just moved a hundred threads over to join us.
It looks like we have many other City threads that have challenged us for the most active OT City.. get'em boys(& gals)!
Were we the first city OT to be banished to community?

Doug Holyday tells @CTVCanadaAM he believes Mayor is getting ready to address allegations, but can't confirm. Says it's what should happen
@KatieSimpson24
