How does he keep getting elected?
That’s the one day people support him
Toronto will vote for anyone with the last name Ford
And Ontario for some reason always votes for the Con/Lib based on which isn’t in power Federally
Half the reason we are in this mess is Toronto was too smart to elect Doug mayor and now instead the whole province gets to deal with him. He also gets to get revenge on Toronto by demolishing bike lanes.
They elected his brother because the opponent was gay
He took road money from Northern Ontario to pay for the 401 expansion in Toronto
There’s a reason people outside Toronto call him Premier of Toronto
Didn't doug run after his brother? I'm not 100% familiar with Torontos political history i just remember something about doug not winning mayor of Toronto.
He did but it wasn’t really a campaign, he only just met the deadline after Rob dropped out due to health
The next run he gave up on it before the vote to be provincial PC leader
Because he doesn't campaign on policy, and most people couldn't really tell you his policies other than "cheap beer, open for business, Toronto bad".
I’m in Alberta. They don’t even offer us cheap beer here.
To be fair he didn't really offer. He threw around the term buck a beer a couple times but booze has actually been increasing in price since hes been elected.
Yeah but wasn’t there supposed to be the “buck a beer” beer that he had going? Is that still a thing?
First-past-the-post giving him a false majority.
First past the post is a fucking dunce cap on democracy.
Those of us who live in the province but voted for someone else aren't quite sure, but the fact that a lot of people seem not to have realized the last election was even taking place may have had something to do with it.
Yeah I don’t get it. Are they just advertising these elections on conservative talk radio or something?
