It's almost as if she wants him to win.
I made an off-hand remark on Facebook earlier today that the best strategic vote for Chow supporters would be Ford. He would be unable to get consensus from council on any of his ideas leaving the middle and left-leaning councillors to essentially run the show.
Three cheers for weak mayors.
Further to that, the right-leaning councillors built the last budget on the hope that revenue from the Land Transfer Tax will be considerably higher than even the most optimistic estimates of staff. Whenever they voted through a spending increase, they'd just increase the LTT estimate again.
In short, in order to meet the arbitrary increase the Fords had declared, they set Toronto up for the very real possibility of a big tax increase next year.
And I'd just as soon not see the Left being blamed again for cleaning up their mess.
