It won't be enough, though. It's never enough. Give the likes of Doug Ford an inch, and he'll make ever more unreasonable, strident demands, inevitably screeching that he's being oppressed if you don't give in (and completely ignoring the concessions already made to him up to that point, natch). Fatass was a horrible mayor, a crook and a scumbag and a liar, a shameless, self-promoting spotlight whore, doing everything he did to gratify his bizarrely overblown ego. Name a drug rehabilitation center after him (the irony is nice), but nothing else. If we're paying proper homage to his memory, then name a filthy abandoned outhouse after him.
Your theory might be why Tory is doing this, but I guarantee it won't work. It'll just encourage the Fords and their demented fanbase even further.
