We had a few Ford free years, but just when you thought the coast might be clear - Doug Ford jumps back into politics. First it was a run for the Mayor's job in Toronto, that he was already illegally campaigning for, then after maybe the wildest week ever, in Ontario politics, Doug now says he's running for the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party - https://tvo.org/...d#comment-3733992685 And after that, if he wins the leadership (yikes), a provincial election in 100 days!
Like Trump, with Doug in the game, there will be almost daily comedic relief and many face-palm moments. Also like Trump, to just dismiss him as a populist, blowhard buffoon, would be a mistake. Not that I would support him in ANY, way. I just know that, the Fords tap into a group of voters, like Trump does, that is really hard to explain in normal political terms.
For our American friends, Doug Ford is the brother of the late Rob Ford, former Mayor of Toronto - who had a fondness for crack cocaine and drunken stupors!
