| Description | This investigative report reveals that:
-Doug Ford, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s brother, sold hashish for several years in the 1980s.
-Another brother, Randy, was also involved in the drug trade and was once charged in relation to a drug-related kidnapping.
-Their sister, Kathy, has been the victim of drug-related gun violence.
In the 1980s, anyone wanting to buy hashish had to know where to go. And in central Etobicoke, the wealthy Toronto suburb where Mayor Rob Ford grew up, one of those places was James Gardens. In the evening, the sports cars often wound along Edenbridge Drive, past the gated homes and the lawn-bowling pitches, until they reached the U-shaped parking lot. By nightfall, the public park was a hash drive-thru. One former street dealer, whom we will call “Justin,” described the scene as “an assembly line.” |
