Not really a fan of how they've portrayed Ford, avoiding talking about his significant backlashes, or the record low voter turnout to all his elections, but I suppose Ontario has given our approval to him, one way or another.

How? The majority of ballots cast, voted for another party.

The key part is the majority of ballots cast. Beyond the benefits of MMPR (of which I am fully on board for), we still had a sub 50% voter turnout. If literally half of ontarians can't be bothered to vote, they're agreeing to everything else. I place responsibility for trump with those who voted for him and those who didn't vote - it's the same in this case.

It seems with the new national unity between liberals and conservatives that they are signaling that Dofo is okay with them while PP is not.

Not surprised to see Doug Jump. The second the provincial election ended he started gearing up for his federal run, and unfortunately the blitz of positive media has really helped improve his image with people who probably voted against him just a few weeks prior to this.
