If Kinga is the one Thug's reportedly schtupping, then this latest scandal will be all the more precious. Wheee! Try this question on for size: If he wins his seat, but either the Libs or the NDP - or some combination thereof - ends up forming the government anyway, does anyone else think Ford...

But not everyone objecting to the Tories' own particular brand of corruption is a Liberal supporter. I'm daresay most of us aren't. I know it would be nice to be able to dismiss these complaints as carping from blind partisans acting from nothing but tribalism, but that is not the case. Ford is...

I'll wager Dofo is up to that challenge.

If anything, I'd expect any sibling rivalry moments conducted in private were a hell of lot nastier than anything we ever saw in public. As EagleEye points out, the stuff we actually did see was quite nasty enough.

It's fascinating when you think about it: From the looks of things, there was plenty of genuine cause for wanting to get rid of Brown. And instead of using legitimate means of removing a corrupt and self-serving creep, certain figures within the Tory Party engineered a sleazy palace coup...

I disagree. If this thought really is motivating you, then it would be a far bigger reprimand - and a much harsher slap in the face to Wynne and Co. - if the NDP were the ones to hand the Liberals their asses in this election. The Tories are merely the default party people turn to when they get...

And to what extent is Ford up to his thick neck in this latest round of shenanigans?

Isn't it hilarious? Thug's been pulling this kind of crap all along, with absolutely zero pushback from anyone in a position of authority, so one can only imagine his horrified incomprehension at this - for him - very typical move suddenly having consequences: "But...but..but...it wuz all right...

Yes, and it's absolutely infuriating that nobody in a position of power ever calls him on this kind of crap in a way that resonates among ordinary people. Occasionally, someone will clutch their pearls and act like Margaret Dumont in a Marx Brothers film reacting to how undignified it all is...

Quite apart from the blatant lie in that little statement, note that Ford has the gall to say such a thing to the woman who's currently in charge of the provincial government. It's obviously up for debate as to how well she's doing her job, but she's still the #@%$ Premiere, for Chrissakes. For...

Is this the same cretin who was blubbering recently that it's "too easy" for people to sign up with food banks? Funnily enough, Thuggie-poo just dumped Tanya Granic Allen, the screechy anti-sex loon, from the party. She's no longer with the PCs. But he doesn't seem to mind running extremist...

That rather depends. If they have even more bombs to drop - and they just might - then we may well be in for a whole series of similar escapades. Which could make for some top quality entertainment in the weeks to come. Why hoard all the fun now? It is interesting that Dofo found it necessary...

Quite the collection of ghouls Thug's gathering together for his wrecking crew, no?

Well, I'm glad somebody in the media has made note of Ford's anti-democratic actions here. I was beginning to wonder if anyone had even noticed. Paikin's article gave me a couple of cynical laughs: Ford actually accused Patrick Brown of doing exactly what Ford himself is doing now (because...

The problem with contemplating the Liberals' richly deserved defeat in the upcoming election is the question of who's going to potentially succeed them, and we all know it ain't going to be the NDP. Which is why cute little developments like the ones outlined by Videodrome just above give me...

For those of you puzzled by this obvious contradiction, allow me to explain: It's good and noble and holy and pure and adorably 'naughty' and Freedom of Speech when Ford pulls this kind of crap, but it's evil and wicked and bad and wrong and satanic and Hitler times ten when anyone responds in...

Steve, if you're basing that little theory around anything other than wish fulfillment, then share it with the rest of us, will you? It's a narrative I could buy, certainly - hell, I'd pay money to see the look on Thug's face when the dagger's inevitably stuck in his back if events unfold the...

I keep hearing this, but I'm not exactly seeing it. If the current situation is indeed a mirror image of the Trump/Clinton Battle For the White House, it's a twisted, funhouse mirror image. Nothing is quite so cut and dried. (God knows that election certainly wasn't.) Hillary Clinton's team...

Agreed. By electing Dofo as their leader,* the cons have given Wynne a fighting chance. As little as she deserves one. But there is still such a thing as a lesser-of-two-evils vote, and Ford is a such repugnant figure, she looks...well, not good by comparison, certainly, but less bad at least...

I suppose it's nice that Dofo felt it necessary to distance himself and the party from Allen's creepy brand of mouth-foaming crazy. She must be feeling a tad betrayed just now.
