Doug Ford is still really serious about winning the Ontario PC leadership
For a while, it seemed like Doug Ford’s suggestion that he might run for and win leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party was just post-mayoral-election-defeat braggadocio. His latest interview on Sun News, though, is a reminder that his bid for Tim Hudak’s old job is very real. Asked whether he’d be putting his name on the leadership ballot, Ford stopped just short of answering in the affirmative. “I’m confident,” he said. “We have a great team. We have the momentum.” (Was he referring to his “grassroots” backers, who may not actually exist?) Later, he made a pitch that seemed aimed at PC insiders. “Out of the 331,000 people that voted for me,” he said, referring to his vote share in the mayoral election, “80 per cent or 85 per cent have never voted PC, never would vote PC, but they would vote PC if I ran.”

Doug Ford, a disciple of Mike Harris. Meaning he’ll want to cut, download, and raise user fees at the provincial level.
please Doug, I really want you to run. Sadly there’s a lack of political comedy in this town these days so another crushing Ford defeat is just what we need right now.
Has anyone done a survey to determine if the 331,000 that voted for Doug actually show up for Provincial elections?? Not to mention the fact that I highly doubt he will get one vote North of Steeles
Why won’t this uneducated, ignorant, lying blowhard just go away?
I am so looking forward to Doug Ford running for leader of the PC Party… I anticipate there will be the time and energy of his opponents and the media to find out all about this man’s past, under cover his drug dealings, details about his education (lack thereof), comments and observations from co-workers, and of course fellow council… oh yes, that will make a very entertaining couple of months… let the games begin!
Let him dig his hole even deeper, his Mommy bailed out the seven hundred thousand this fool spent on his hate campaign, to become a even more despised Mayor then his Brother. thank God this fool is not in the news any more, but let this narcissistic delusional hate monger stir up his mentally challenged lunatic followers..Mommy and Daddy’s Company has enough money to support his delusional fantasys…
We need to “Ghomeshi” the Ford Family and pillar them in the press even if criminal charges or COI charges stick or not. This criminal enterprise must never again hold positions of power. Just look who they associate with. Bring back highlights of the Globe and Mail coverage on Doug in the 80’s as a drug kingpin. Look at the whole families involvement with drugs, murder and assault. Randy doing kidnapping and dealing drugs even out of Deco’s back door; Kathy, a heroin addict shot in the face and also present when her high school sweatheart was murdered in the Ford Family kitchen; Rob hanging with low life losers and gang members; Doug building Deco into an international company with fake offices in Florida and Ohio to look larger to the taxing authorities. Remember Deco is a private company abd there is no scrutiny over their source of funds. Just what they report.
Do we want the scum of society in any role of government? Think of the ficticous Corleone family taking over. Already we have Ford influence with TPS the crown and the judiciary.
The press have done a great job. Just google familiar names to get yourself up to date.
The current Sandro Lisi trial is in itself game of chicken between the Fords and the crown. Who will blink first. Rememer there is a video of a female judge smoking crack that would be embarassing to have released. All videos have been sent to the crown and will get buried if Lisi pleads guilty and takes a deal. The only other person who knows about the videos is Siad (and of course Blair) and he has already had a taste of jailhouse justice to shut up and besides who would believe him. His friend Anthony Smith got murdered so he knows what is at stake.
So put 2 and 2 and 2 and 2 together folks and get the Fords out of power.
Doug forgets that John Tory was a Progressive Conservative leader who will be Mayor of Toronto, while Doug was only a Councillor who will go back to take credit for other people’s work at his family business.
whatever, criminal charges will come against the Fords. Justice will be done. You can’t elude it.
