Doug Ford.
Before you dismiss the pot-addled hillbilly's ruminations, consider the following facts.
Since his lame-duck showing in the recent election, the knives have been out for Andrew Scheer. There's a leadership review coming up in a few months. Scheer's gone then, if not before.
At the same time, there's a re-branding of Doug's image afoot. His much-anticipated meeting with Justin last week unexpectedly became a virtual love-in. Today he's in the news for spearheading a drive to get more federal health care funding to the provinces.
What a mensch!
What a champion of the people! Look for Doug at a Pride Parade near you anytime now, as the image buffing moves into high gear.
With Scheer out of the way and Trudeau propped up by a shaky coalition, a kinder, gentler Doug Ford would have the wind at his back.
This could prove beneficial to Ontario's teachers, who are battling the Ford government over new collective agreements. Doug's the most far-right Ontario preem since the dark days of Mean Mike Harris. He hates teachers, hates unions, and he especially hates teachers' unions.
The only thing that could trump all that hate is his political ambition!
