I'm thinking Doug's going nuts watching Trump's support growing larger with every stupid, aggressive display of bombast and thinking he could do that with the same success, and that someone in the Crustacean Party has taken him under their wing (supplied by the Night Shift) and explained to him how there's going to be a lot of Lieberal Party seats coming up in TO in the next provincial election. Maybe he needs more than name recognition and one term @ council? The CP have shown a lot of election finance creativity and remember Towhey reporting Rob was approached by Mike Harris for his mayoral run.
I'm not expecting Robbie being more than a happy memory by 2018. The Fords would not have come out and announced that Rob's cancer was inoperable if that was the case. But to say absolutely nothing, like more pleas for prayers even? Dougie is more aggressive, more delusional, and more power craven than Rob. I wonder if with his US business interests he hasn't taken out a dual citizenship and, (like Harper did) spent some time with the ideologues in Chicago and Miami. With this lot you can imagine almost any depravity and end up being right.
I'm sure Deco's capable of hiring competent people to assist Randy. For Doug, the thrill of running a label company is gone. I really think his ambition is not to match Rob's achievement as mayor but to exceed it, maybe more like Dad's.
