Ford Nation digs Doug.
An estimated 1,500 people flocked to the Toronto Congress Centre to attend the Doug Ford Rally for a Stronger Ontario as Ford seeks to become the new leader of the beleaguered PC Party of Ontario.
And they liked what they heard, including Ford’s promise that he’s dead set against a carbon tax.
Let the parents decide nobody should be afraid of the truth..
You know, these are the exact same objections I had to Trump’s candidacy during the Republican primaries that I thought might hand HRC the White House. And since I was dead wrong about that, and Trump is Making America Great Again a little at a time despite the obstructionism, witch-hunting, and bad press he faces (and in spite of my own personal dislike of him), maybe I’m wrong this time too.
We’ll see.
Andrew Stevenson—-Iain Foulds was talking about the Provincial election which is still 1st past the post. "
No. Vote splitting between Mulroney and Elliot could only possibly apply to the leadership race.
“let every parent in the province have their say and we’ll know how popular this program written by a pedophile it is or isn’t… Not based on polls or anything else…. just let every parent have their say.”
I notice a distinct lack of criticism for the curriculum itself. Is there anything in there you specifically object to? Who wrote it is irrelevant if it contains nothing of consequence.
“I’m sure Doug Ford didn’t just spend the money to get into the race with a stacked deck, he must think he can win. Others do.”
It’s not clear Doug Ford’s actually aware of the potential of not winning. His ego’s already buffing his crown. He blew hundreds of thousands of dollars on the mayoral election, even though those cards were pretty stacked against him, then.
Would be pedophiles that are looking forward to this being accepted, a referendum would absolutely set the record straight without any question.. from there we could go ahead one way or the other.. let every parent in the province have their say and we’ll know how popular this program written by a pedophile it is or isn’t… Not based on polls or anything else…. just let every parent have their say.
Anyone against a referendum on this possesses very questionable moral fibre and should be suspect to law-enforcement.
I think the ranked system is bonkers, but it is what it is. Under this system it makes no sense for a Ford supporter to choose any second choice, is how it looks to me.
I’m sure Doug Ford didn’t just spend the money to get into the race with a stacked deck, he must think he can win. Others do.

‘Doug Ford potentially best positioned candidate to win the leadership race’
Last leadership race in 2015 when Brown got in, there were only 76,587 card carrying memberships. This time there is somewhere between 135,000 and 200,000 memberships. More people to be fed up with liberals and in no mood to take a chance on a liberal lite leader.
Don’t know if they’re friends or not. But they are both members of the Ottawa tower trash set. They know the same movers and shakers and neither one of them would have anything to do with the work-dirt-under-the-fingernails crowd. I’m sick of these bastards – doesn’t matter what party they’re in.
Most Parents Support the New Sex Ed Curriculum

And every poll shows this as well.
Like this one:

… This will be the first time that two women split the discriminatory “women’s vote” and a man goes up the middle.”
They’re using ranked balloting. There’s no such thing as vote splitting in that situation- it’s a series of runoffs. If Mulroney or Elliot are eliminated in first runoff, where do their supporters’ ballots go? Mostly, to the other woman.
It’s not clear Doug Ford, or the Rebel, really realize that with ranked balloting, “second choice” votes matter almost as much as first choice. In the Fed election, Scheer got 57% of his final runoff support from “down ballot” voters, ballots reallocated from eliminated candidates, only 43% put him as their first choice. Bernier got 59% of his support from first-choice supporters, and ultimately lost because of it. 2/3 of O’Toole supporters preferred Scheer to Bernier, enough to pull Scheer into the lead.
Strategically speaking, a ranked ballot contest is very different than a straight first-past-the-post one. Again, it’s not clear Doug or his supporters understand that.
LOL.
Anyone besides Liza can see how that is complete bullshit.
This man has great potential, in fact as he spoke, I could see Trump, right there on the podium.
I had thoughts of him running against Trudeau. Wooee!
I am with you that Doug was first out of the gate to oppose the carbon tax and was blunt and decisive in his opposition, saying he would “ax the carbon tax”. Mulroney probably understand that she didn’t have a hope unless she said the same and as Dave pointed out Elliott was wishy washy as far as her opposition.
Scheer would have to get with the program.
Doug is adamant and isn’t saying he will try, he is saying he is going to stop it. I know who I think is authentic.
That is why I didn’t mind her losing last week.
If Scheer gets a set of cajones and attacks The Clown Prince Trudope on all his transgressions he’ll get my vote as well. Again there is a lot of Lieberal damage to repair or replace.
I’m thousands of km away from Ontario, and usually I could care less if Toronto and all Ont. fall into the Great Lakes; now with Doug in the headlines, I’m a new fan of Ontario Politics.
Ian Foulds—I agree with your funny prediction of: Two women splitting the woman’s vote, and a man coming up the center to win the Province.
The leftwing in the PCPO will, IMO, end up signing enough new memberships to beat Ford in the final ballot, leaving the unrepresented Trillium party as the only conservative alternative, just as the leaderless BC Cons party (no MLAs) is the only right of centre party in BC now.
I hope I’m wrong, because Ford not only would be good for Ontario, but also good for Canada because he would influence Scheer and thus help to prevent the CPC from moving to the left. And of course, not being cozy with Trudeau is something to look forward to.
If we had a solid conservative woman with some personality to go up against the disgusting Wynne it would be great. I don’t see those qualities in either of the female candidates.
Ford has personality and us bombastic enough to take on the massive onslaught of negativity that the media and unions will direct his way.
Anybody but Wynne.PLEASE
