If Ford wasn't the mayor of a city, no one would give a crap if he smoked crack. But he is and has WHILE IN OFFICE. I just don't understand how the Ford's can't see the difference.

"I've made mistakes just like everyone, blah blah blah" Everyone's not the elected mayor of one the world largest cities you idiot. You want to smoke crack? Pot? Drink excessivily? Great, don't be a mayor.
For me, that's not even the worst part. It's the constant lies and deceptions.

I just goes on and on. You can't believe a word out of his mouth. Which you kinda need out of your elected officials.

The other part that bugs me is he thinks an apology is sufficient. Sometimes it is, but not always. Often, you have to make amends, you need to fix your mistakes. Even kids know this.

He seems to think that doesn't apply to him.

Lastly, it's very obvious he has a substance abuse problem. Possibly just with alcohol, but it's affecting his job. Even taking out right and wrong, and justice and punishment, it's obviously affecting his job and his decision making.
