Ford seems to be playing smart politics but bad policy.

True Trudeau is not that popular anymore in Ontario so opposing him plays well to his base and supporters but frankly not helping refugees will cause more problems.

I think Ford could have instead said "we need more money" instead of saying "we are not helping".

That presumes he has a shred of genuine concern for immigrants and minorities.

I guess marriage was a tall feat for the guy.

Other than power, the only things that seem to matter to him are his mother, his business and his wife (in that order). $5 says at least 2 of those 3 don’t make it to the end of his first term.

Hahahaaaaaa.....that's quite the thing to take to the book.

Eh IDK, I think Trudeau forgets that Ontario now is different in 2015.

Carbon Tax and Refugees could easily cost him a ton of suburban seats.

What does that have to do with what I said.

I'll agree with that and raise you the inability to compromise or delegate.

Or recognize he is premier of the entire province, not mayor of Etobicoke.

He has been nearly perfect for the first week. I doubt he can keep it up for the next 200.

For sure but if the current climate keeps for the next Federal Election things are going to be interesting in Ontario.

I think a lot of progressives still believe in the Trudeau hype but his poll numbers for his party have been rather unremarkable and that is with

1. Trudeau vs Trump boost
2. Quebec Boost
3. Female Voters Boost
4. Good Economy Boost.

I think like his father he is heading for a small minority govt in 2019 I think.

This is the Doug Ford thread. Let’s talk about Trudeau in the Trudeau thread.

Can we stick to Clinton’s emails?

There's a Huffington Post headline today saying Trudeau had to explain how the refugee system works to Ford.

I don't care if that's true or not but I would love to have a full video recording of that encounter. Trudeau explaining anything alone is comic genius but add to that the premise of Ford trying to listen and comprehend something and you get pure gold!

I know, it was a joke. Goddamn Internet. .....the jokes are always passing people by.

Sorry, I have been reading too many things by (non?)humorous dolts, I got into a habit.

FORD-splaining has returned!

Perfect? Are you sure you don't mean Prefect?
