Rob Ford has admitted to buying illegal drugs within the past two years. The mayor's latest confession came this morning as part of acity council meetingin which Ford has had to field questions from his colleagues on council pertaining to his conduct and recent revelations thathe has smoked crack cocaine. The admission came after Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong, who has put forward a motionasking the mayor to step down, asked him the question outright.

“你购买了非法毒品在过去两years?" Minnan-Wong queried. "Yes, I have," a flustered-looking Ford replied. In what was a common refrain this morning, Ford continued by saying "I'm humiliated by it, but I can't change the past." Numerous councillors have directly called for Ford to step down or take a leave of absence this morning, to which the mayor has steadfastly refused. While today's meeting has proven an opportunity for city councillors to hold Ford accountable for his actions, council lacks the authority to vote the mayor out.

Council resumes session at 1:30pm. More to come.
