Well, it was crack, but yes. He went from being a mayor to a premier. And people are shocked that the corrupt asshole is acting all corrput.

Edit: It was his brother, as the commentor below points out. But Dougie was known to be shitty before he was premier.

No, that was his brother. Rob Ford was mayor of Toronto and died a few years back.

Doug Ford is his brother who used Rob’s popularity and name to propel himself to premiership.

My mistake. Thank you for the correction. Still a corrupt shitbag though.

He won with less than 23% voter turnout, the lowest turnout in Ontario’s entire history.

Yep. 18% of all eligible voters in Ontario gave this guy a Majority government.

Fed up citizens HATE this one dirty trick that shouldn’t be allowed

I don’t understand why elections don’t have quorums. My condo can’t do something obvious (fix AC chiller) without having enough owners agree, yet we can be governed by a party that gets a majority after most voters actually sat out with the attitude, “they all suck.”

If a quorum isn’t met in an election, all candidates for that riding should be barred from running again, and a new election should be called.

I love that we have a perfect analogy to help drive home the point the next time a Party whines it would make it to hard to win or whatever the fuck is holding us up yet
