Toronto Mayor Ron Ford

TORONTO (AP) -- Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says he's used "every drug you can probably think of" and blamed substance abuse for the racist and homophonic language he's used.

Toronto's City Council voted overwhelmingly Friday to strip Mayor Rob Ford of some of his powers, trying to box in the brash leader who has rebuffed huge pressure to resign over his drinking and drug habits and erratic behavior.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has admitted to the City Council that he has bought illegal drugs in the past two years.
