This will no doubt have the media bed-wetters in a tizzy. After all, Doug is the slightly more stable brother of former crack-head TO mayor Rob Ford, and surely you remember how relentlessly our "free press" hounded him to death.
In fact, Toronto Star intern Dan Dale did such a bang-up job on the Ford file that the Star dispatched him to Washington, complete with an actual paycheque and expense account, to become the official Donald Trump Fib Tracker.
Why a money-losing Canadian news platform would consider that a useful deployment of their dwindling resources is a question you'd have to ask them.
But back to Ford. Rob was relentlessly portrayed as a racist and misogynist bigot across the spectrum of our mainstream media.
That was mostly fake news.
Take a gander at this video of Rob Ford's funeral.
WTF?
I see brown people galore paying their respects to the racist. And women too!
Frankly, I didn't believe Doug could pull this off, but the Conservative leadership race was such a shit-show that anything was possible.
And here we are. Doug was the only candidate who had a chance at unseating Wynne. She could have easily whupped those females candidates, but Doug Ford is a new game.
Doug Ford will be the next premier of Ontario.
And that's not a happy thing.
Hey Neumann!

Ya, that one caught my eye too. Finally "experts" are coming out of the woodwork agreeing with what I was saying in the mid-eighties, ie if this "free trade" scam goes through, we're fucked. We were around 14 bucks an hour at Frankel at the time; Mexican workers made that in a week. Steel fab ain't brain science... we were screwed from the get-go. Wish I could say I feel better about it now that Jeff Rubin agrees with me 30 years after the horse is out the barn.
