It's an interesting choice- doesn't Doug dislike Renata? Don't think she's expressed particularly open conservative views as well.

Could very much be her way to squeeze out those last drops of Rob mileage, and poke Doug in the eye while doing it.

Well, we know who the real Premier is now. It sure isn't Doug.

Vetting a candidate "after" the appointment...

Regarding social media postings on Tyler Albrecht's accounts that use words "faggot" and "no homo", Ford spokesperson says "comments made by Mr. Albrecht are hurtful and unacceptable, and have no place in public discourse. Premier Ford has decided that this appointment will not proceed"

Haha, after you've written their extensive bios, quite convincing that. Are we at war with East Asia now?

Renata must be desperate for money. She and Doug both refused comment on the lawsuit over Rob's estate because it's before the courts. Did her house ever sell?

Thug is going to be none-too-pleased about Renata entering the fray and exploiting her late husband's name as much as she can get away with in the process. I can see it now: "Who the hell does she think she is? That's my job!!!"

Ye Gods. Dueling Fords. In opposing political parties. Just when we thought this fucked-up political 'dynasty' couldn't turn into any more of a sideshow...

"Free admission for the first 500 people"... hell just make it free for the day, it's not Boxing Day at Best Buy. That just seems rather petty, but not surprising. They must have been afraid of demonstrations and angry crowds at Queen's Park. Maybe Ford Fest will get cancelled too.

They could have easily paid for that celebration with the half-mil (+ benefits, expenses) earmarked for those crony appointments. Or just think how many free admissions that would have bought - instead of what you’d get at Zellers sales.

Things in the Ford Castle seem to be disintegrating rather speedily. Rats leaving sinking ship or being pushed off of it?

No, certainly not the public, but to the Queen's Park press anyway. They're all gone until Monday so they can't ask any pesky questions and by then there will be bigger events in the news.
