My views are evolving. He supported a racist, he is a racist.
Anyone who knowingly support a racist is a racist. Yes, I know I was softer on him previously, as I was somewhat reluctantly willing to give him the benefit of the doubt over this Rob Ford support. But the more I pondered it yesterday, the more pissed off I became. Sure, perhaps some rube in Etobicrack or Scarberia might not be aware. However Rob Ford's racism was widely discussed during the 2010 election - including here, I'm sure you remember. And John Tory's job at the time was to pay attention to such stuff. It's difficult to swallow that he didn't know about Rob Ford's racism.
Hence the evolution of my position.
To the point of advocating the provision of public money to allow creationism to be taught in schools - yes.
Really, I'm supposed to take the opinion of someone who has spent today highlight Adolf Hitler's good points seriously? ROTFLMAO.
I've not heard of either of those people.
How does pointing out Adolf Hitler's good qualities put up a good one?
Doug Ford hasn't got a hope in hell of achieving 33%. He can't win, no matter who people vote for. To think otherwise is falling for the dirty tricks of Nick Kouvalis, who is trying to make people think otherwise. Nick Kouvalis - former chief of staff under Rob Ford ... another racist supporter. This isn't like 2010 where Rob Ford was leading the polls. At this point in 2010, the September polls showed Ford with 39%, 46%, and 46% with no one else better than 26%. If Doug Ford starts showing those numbers, even I'd vote for John Tory if he was running second. But this isn't the case.
It has everything to do with the election. Yesterday, John Tory showed that he is an anti-gay bigot with his announcement that he would defund Pride if a certain group attended Pride. I've seen similar signs at York University - would it be okay to defund York University if such a group had signs on campus? To object to that group is fine. To select the only group you would defund being Pride demonstrates anti-gay bigotry.
Clearly John Tory is prejudiced. If you support John Tory ...
Ironically, this is exactly where I was at - though a little uncomfortable with Tory's association with Nick Kouvalis. However that went out the window with his anti-gay position yesterday. So who has the best chance of beating Tory other than Ford?
