Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford, the frontrunner to become the province’s next premier according to the latest Ipsos poll, failed to answer a question from a reporter about how a bill becomes law.
“Well, you know something my friend, we can run through that and I know that this is a gotcha question and everything because that’s your game, big smile on your face,” Ford said when asked by reporter Chris Reynolds during a campaign stop in Toronto on Wednesday.
“But don’t worry. I’m going to show you how many bills we’re going to pass. We’re going to pass endless bills down there and I hope you’re down there to watch the bills get passed.”
‘do you have any idea how to do the job you’re hoping to get?’
oh, oh, i see how it is, this just a gotcha question, blatant media bias!
Just like Trump, Doug Ford is going after the kind of voters who don’t care whether or not he knows anything about governing. They’re not paying attention to what he says, but rather how he says it: like someone winning a fight against a sneaky asshole.
Ford doesn’t plan to convince a majority of Ontario that he’s the smartest, most qualified person for the job. He wants to convince people to stop thinking about platforms and policies, and just vote for him based on their outrage at the liberals and their contempt for the NDP.
I feel like this election is going to be a test of our province’s critical thinking skills, and I don’t know if I’m optimistic for the outcome.
