“The defense that he was roaring drunk at the time is an oldie but goodie.”
Yes, all roaring drunks are impressed by that one.
But seriously who knew Canada was such a funky place? A middle aged white guy conservative mayor who’s a roaring drunk crack head - we just don’t make ‘em like that ‘round here.
Maybe they don’t make them that way in NJ, but I think that one would find such people south and west of you—LA, TN, NC, AR, and WV would be my top guesses.
And for that matter, this is Canada—we do drink up here. This is the first I had heard that he was drunk, but now that he mentions it, it does all make sense.
