About this episode

This episode explores the bizarre story of the Rob Ford crack video and its impact on Toronto.

There are layers within layers to the outlandish stories of Rob Ford, but one of the most bizarre is that of the “crack video” showing the late Toronto mayor smoking cocaine in a seedy suburban basement. The gangbanger who filmed it tried selling it in hopes of getting out of Toronto’s thug life but set off a circus that engulfed a city. It put police, gangsters and the mayor’s minions in hot pursuit of a tape everyone wanted, but everyone connected to would eventually suffer for.
