Word has it that, after the funeral, Ford got pretty well baked. On a Friday night he even jaywalked across the Lougheed Hwy. to scarf down some Chinese food. Later that evening he was reported to be whooping it up in Coquitlam's Foggy Dew pub. While there, Ford is said to have closeted himself in a staff washroom stall, emerging an hour later speaking gibberish. Maybe he spent that hour brushing up on his gibberish.
But was a funeral the only reason for Rob Ford's trip to the west coast? Or was it maybe the "pipe"? Vancouver has just introduced Canada's first crack pipe vending machine. They're only two-bits. (does anybody even use 'two bits' anymore?) Apparently the idea behind cheap, disposable crack pipes is to prevent the spread of disease. For what it's worth, there have been no reports of Rob Ford lining up with a pocket full of quarters.

No hate for this vending machine from me. I'm 100% behind harm reduction programs, and not just because they piss off the screeching harridans within Real Women.
Elliott, I've never done any of these drugs but I have seen a number of really nasty-looking pipes that looked like they had made the rounds. These machines are the pipe equivalent of needle exchange programmes.
Unfortunately neither Tony Clement nor his party will ever have that cognition. Their polarized simplistic world view simply does not allow for any shades of grey. There is nothing in Vancouver that I am more proud of than Insite.
Anon 5:12. I removed your comment because of your suggestion that Ford "likes them young." There's never been the slightest suggestion of that and, despite all his faults and boorishness, there's no excuse to smear him as you plainly would.
