Toronto's Notorious Ex-"Crack Mayor" Rob Ford Dies After Battle With Cancer
Toronto's notorious former mayor Rob Ford, who served between 2010 and 2014 and became world famous when he was caught on video smoking crack on multiple occasions during his term, died Tuesday after a battle with cancer.
As the Canadian Press writes in its prepared eulogy, a man simultaneously adored by his fans and abhorred by his foes as his scandal-packed term as mayor of Canada's largest city propelled him to international infamy, has died.
