Doug Ford had a disastrous radio interview today.
But remember: Ontario is Trumpworld now.
One of the biggest lessons from America: once you've rationalized voting for a monster, nothing will change your mind.

Doug Ford is back, the hot knives are out and we have to hash this thing out again. I get into the weeds on Ford’s return in my column this week for @macleans: https://t.co/GhnHsjngS4
Doug Ford wants schools to teach “Basic Math Skills.”
They do, of course, but maybe it’s Ford who needs a math lesson.
He was part of an administration in Toronto that spent $200m cancelling transit projects.
Ford + $200m = zero transit for Toronto

Most Canadians - that means many who say they support Doug Ford, bc his poll numbers are that high - express horror and disgust at Donald Trump, and snicker.
Yet they are apparently prepared to elect someone just as dangerously incompetent to govern us.
I don't get it.
Ask yourself this, when was the last time Doug Ford — who inherited a multi-million dollar business — had to pay rent?
He has no idea what damage removing rent controls would do to real families across Ontario.
That won’t stop him from doing it, but you can.

Oh my God. The Conservatives are talking about a homeless man at Yonge and Bloor, as if they give a damn. Doug Ford is promising MASSIVE CUTS that would decimate the poor. The unmitigated gall of this party.

WAKE UP, Ontario voters.
Wake. The. F. Up.
We're already a laughing stock w/ just the "election" of Doug Ford as leader.
(See the New York Times)
You're mad? Fine. But electing Ford will be a body blow to this province, and this country.
Think about what you're doing.

#StarEditorial How does Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford’s oft-repeated promise that, if elected premier, he would repeal Ontario’s carbon tax make no sense? Let the Star's editorial board count the ways.

What *didn't* happen at Doug Ford's "unity" rally:
a) None of the 3 other leadership candidates spoke.
b) Media were told Christine Elliott would introduce Ford. She didn't.
c) PC MPPs & candidates were told to attend but did not appear on stage. #onpoli

Doug Ford just narrowly won the Ontario PC leadership race. I guess the party didn't feel they had enough of a dumpster fire in Patrick Brown, they needed to up the ante. Well done.
Stay tuned for Doug's victory speech in his mom's basement. #DougFord
So the Ontario Conservatives elected their own #Trump type, a thin skinned cry baby. Start up the clown car, take us to the shitshow. #FordNation#DougFord When your dealer becomes leader of a political party.
