    We have the same voter apathy problems up here. Stupid people and manipulation tactics know no borders.

      Yea, despite Marit Stiles’ best efforts (and Bonnie Crombie’s mediocre efforts), Ford is better at getting headlines when he needs them. They didn’t get enough opportunities to challenge his narrative and call him out on his scandals.

      And since Trump distracted everybody, Dougie bet that voters would be too burned out to kick him out of office. With a 45% turnout this election, he was unfortunately correct.

      I guess we get the governments we deserve. Bribing people with their own money seems to work on the average Ontarian.
