A friend in Toronto was telling me that the Mayoral Election is less than 50 days away, and Rob Ford is actually looking good.
There were 3 other major candidates:
One of dropped out a couple weeks ago.
One is the widow of the former NDP leader (the most left-wing party in Canada). Toronto usually leans to the right. Her campaign is falling apart recently, especially after one of her staffers made a segregationist tweet.
The only competition for Robbie is another Conservative, (John Tory) who lost the last time he ran for mayor, and also lost in the TWO most recent provincial elections as well.
So despite all the crack-smoking, pussy-eating commenting, [Insert any number of scandals over the last year here], Ford actually has a good chance of being re-elected in October.
Anyone surprised?
