Rob Ford is again under fire at city hall after new court documents released Wednesday provided a police account of a video showing the mayor smoking from a glass pipe.

It marks the first time police have been specific about the video in their possession.

The mayor's colleagues on council and other Toronto officials were quick to react to the latest news around the drug scandal surrounding Ford.

“I don’t know if this moves the mayor’s credibility lower than it already has been, but this goes to show that he was using drugs and illegal substances,” Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong told CP24 after the release of the document. “To have a crack smoking mayor is the wrong kind of mayor to have.”

"He is the worst mayor Toronto has ever had," Coun. Adam Vaughan added. "The real question is not ‘Have you stopped drinking?’ or ‘Have you stopped doing crack?’ It is ‘Are you ever going to stop lying?’ and I don’t know how he answers that question without telling another lie."

Mayor Ford had denied the fact that the video existed and denied using crack cocaine after news of the video first surfaced back in May.

Then in November, Ford admitted to having smoked crack cocaine in a “drunken stupor." The admission came several days after Police Chief Bill Blair revealed that officers had recovered a video file “consistent” with one that was originally described by reporters from the Toronto Star and Gawker in May.

Speaking with reporters at city hall Wednesday, Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly said he hadn’t read the latest court documents and therefore couldn’t comment but when told what was contained in them, Kelly said the mayor does owe residents an explanation.

“It is up to the mayor to determine how he replies to these questions and concerns but I think one would expect a more fulsome response than has been delivered thus far,”

Mayor Ford was present at an executive committee meeting Wednesday morning, but left without speaking to reporters.

Ford then remerged early Wednesday afternoon, pushing his way through a crowd of reporters as he made his way to a food truck outside city hall with a British film crew.

In a report published in the Toronto Sun, Ford said he found it “funny” that the court documents were released in the middle of an election campaign but he said he wouldn’t let the revelations impact his work and would not address them further.

"I am just going to go about my day," he said.

Meanwhile, Ford’s lawyer Dennis Morris told CP24 that the release of the documents is further proof that the police are out to damage his client’s re-election chances.

“It appears as if the police have tunnel vision and their whole life purpose is to do something so that they can unravel the mayor and his campaign,” he said. “This is shocking. They have spent perhaps over a million dollars and maybe more and who is potentially the victim; it is the mayor. It is not these other fellows who came to the media with the video; the mayor is the victim and I don’t know why they are pursuing him."

Morris added that he believes the video will be anonymously released before Torontonians go to the polls in the October.

“Somebody has it mind that they want to hurt the mayor, embarrass the mayor and my personal view is if they can’t lay charges they will just release the video, Morris said.

In an interview with The Canadian Press, Police Spokesperson Mark Pugash said Morris “should be ashamed of himself” for suggesting that police have political motivations.

"Any information that has been released has been released by the courts," he said.

Mayoral candidates question whether Ford is fit to lead

The latest court documents come as the campaign for mayor heats up with a long list of candidates making their pitch to voters.

In a statement released Wednesday morning, candidate Olivia Chow said the new information shows why Toronto needs a new mayor.

“The on-going revelations about Mr. Ford again show why he’s no role model for our children,” she said. “Our city is tired of the distractions and needs a new mayor.

The campaign for fellow mayoral candidate David Soknacki also released a statement Wednesday morning, in which they said that it is “already clear” that Ford should be replaced.

“Regardless of any disclosures that may emerge from ongoing legal proceedings, David Soknacki believes it’s already clear to Torontonians that Mayor Rob Ford must be replaced,” the statement read. “The people of Toronto deserve leadership that represents their best interests and helps build a city we can be proud of.”

John Tory, who will launch his campaign at an event tonight, also weighed in, saying that the "ongoing saga" has created a "stalemate at city hall."
