Photo gallery: Less than great moments in Ford history

Six words after six months of denial: “Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine.”

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford said as much to reporters at city hall on Tuesday morning. “But am I an addict? No.”

Well, whatever. Much talk in Toronto of a city’s shame, its reputation and so on. As the story continues to develop, a quick look back at the Ford photo file:
