I don't think Ford was drunk or on drugs, just badly out of breath for that entire news conference after having to climb a couple flights of stairs at Don Mills station. So much for all those "workouts."
What I find even more interesting is that this subway event was so hastily put together and so slipshod that his team didn't think to get permits so he could be accompanied by cameras on the train. The same thing happened to Tim Hudak during the provincial election, and look where he ended up.
Add that to the fact they did it at around noon when that subway line is deserted - underscoring that ridership numbers don't justify a subway extension on that route. They were so desperate to upstage the other candidates at the seniors' forum they didn't even think about what they were doing, which just proves what an unprofessional team he's got.
Trust me, this is an incumbent in trouble - big trouble - and he's running out of time to turn this campaign around.
