Social media was abuzz on Friday night with videos posted to YouTube showing Mayor Rob Ford walking along the Danforth — and apparently acting unusually.

Ford posed for photos, and witnesses on social media said he was rambling and slurring his words.

In one of the videos he can be heard saying what appears to be, “I’m not driving.”

The mayor did not respond to a call from CityNews looking for a comment.

Ford was attending the Taste of the Danforth, the annual weekend-long street party in Greektown.
