I see you are trying to play philosophical games about the nature of what is knowable, but you are fooling no one if you think that it is likely the video doesn't/didn't exist. Given all of the different reports that corroborate the existence of the video, its existence is far more likely than not.
Comparing the debate about the status of the video to Sasquatch, UFOs or unicorns is a nice try at false equivalence, but ignorant of the facts. Unlike Sasquatch reports, the Ford video has had three journalists of high professional standing say they have seen it. There are police sources who have confirmed that the video was discussed on the wiretaps. The police are currently investigating Ford associates for trying to obtain this video. While hard evidence is preferable to circumstantial, many courts of law or public opinion can use the latter to form judgements if enough of it exists.
Finally, your inference that people should't judge Ford harshly because he hasn't been convicted of a crime betrays a remarkable naivety about how politics should operate in a democracy with a free press and free speech. By your standards, voters should not have been allowed to read about McGuinty's ehealth, powerplant, or ornge scandals, nor speak out in anger against them because he was not charged or convicted of criminal wrongdoing. Somehow Ford gets special treatment for his conduct in your mind.
Unless you can present some credible info that every newspaper in Toronto is inventing stories that implicate the Mayor in this crack scandal, it is you who is forwarding wild, unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.
