| (35 minutes later) | |
| Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto will take a leave of absence to seek help for substance abuse, his lawyer said on Wednesday. The lawyer, Dennis Morris, said he spoke to Mr. Ford earlier Wednesday. “He acknowledges he has a substance abuse problem, and he wants to do something about it,” Mr. Morris told The Associated Press. The announcement came as The Globe and Mail reported that it had viewed a new video of Mr. Ford smoking what has been described as crack cocaine. | Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto will take a leave of absence to seek help for substance abuse, his lawyer said on Wednesday.
