Hell of a way to win a leadership: insult the members beforehand.

I recall many were speculating that the PC Party president Ciano and Nick Kouvalis were planning some coup to put Doug Ford in power. Plans have likely changed though now that Nick has backed Tory.

The biggest upside is now maybe, just maybe, everyone can finally shut up about the fucking gas plants that all three parties were going to cancel.

Full quote: "I think the PC party needs an enema from top to bottom" Doug Ford today.

I wonder if the Fords will use this to convince voters to give him a second chance. Like you forgave the Liberals for their scandals, Rob deserves another chance too.

Doug was just on CP24 saying exactly that between talk of enemas and union support for Rob...

Considering the level of intoxication his brother is suffering, he might be best to administer said enema within his family first.

Has anyone other than Doug Ford actually suggested he would be a good candidate to lead the OPC?

 

[GavinTheAlmighty]

Of course there is. Besides being conservative she is also a lawyer in the mayor's office.

Well, she used to work for the Mayor's office, but she's been out of the office for a few years now - she jumped ship before the crack scandal dropped. I don't know if she has any particular dealings with the Mayor's office in her current position, but her current position is as an outsider.

As an aside, I've met her, and she is a very nice woman.

It was the CBC who interviewed Holyday. Here's a link (go to the 3:15:30 mark):

You can see he wanted to blame "union thugs" but somehow managed to restrain himself.

I love the look on Holyday's face as the reporter throws it back to the studio thusly: "There you have it folks. Doug Holyday, a loser tonight in Etobicoke-Lakeshore. Back to the desk."

Thank you for sharing this. As an Etobicoke Lakeshore resident, I'm thrilled to be rid of him, though I'm pissed as hell at Andrea Horwath for losing us a minority government. Minority governments rock.

Next up: getting Russ Ford in (no relation to the subject of this thread) to replace Mark Grimes.

The 4F Club in Ontario (D. Ford, R. Ford, Fontana, Fannell) is finally losing steam.

To be clear: Mayor Joe Fontana: guilty on all three charges - fraud, uttering forged document, breach of public trust.

Looking forward to one day seeing a similar tweet with Rob Ford's name in it.

Other than his mother? Nope.

Doug Ford
“I’d change the philosophy of the PC party if I was,†he said. “Rob and I represent the front-line union folks. We’re populists. We’re fiscal conservatives, but social liberals. Rob’s a social NDPer. We’ll see what happens. It’s frustrating to see the train go in the wrong direction and as far as I’m concerned they didn’t run a good campaign. I think Tim’s great. Tim’s a bright guy. He would have been a great leader, but didn’t connect with the people.â€

Hmm. not that I am particularly pro-Union, but just what front line did he support? Waste management?

Ironic that they contracted waste management services to non-unionized GFL
