We’ve had more than a year of this, and it’s beyond perplexing. Most governments, most premiers, can probably expect a post-pandemic boost — even from the polling doldrums where Ford and Kenney now find themselves. I’ve struggled to imagine Canadians having time to seek accountability when they’re basking in their newly rediscovered freedoms. But Ford’s third wave of flip-flops, non-sequiturs and golfing-buddy stories has been so remarkably, uniquely, inexplicably weird, it’s tough to imagine it won’t leave a lasting impression on the electorate — especially because most were once more than willing to give Ford the benefit of the doubt: A year ago, Léger found 86 per cent of Ontarians were satisfied with the pandemic measures Ford had put in place; as of Léger’s last poll, it was 37 per cent
As with US Conservative leaders Canada's versions are laughably stranger than both fiction and afflictions.
I'm sorry to see things going so badly back in Canada, especially Ontario and particularly Toronto. However, I've not been back there for about 13 years, and don't expect to ever return, although nobody will ever be able to pry my Canadian passport from my cold dead hands.
Ford is starting to remind me of an Edsel.
There are rumors he has been snorting his brother's ashes.
LOL If those rumors are in Canada, then they're rumours.
