And if he does get a majority government I think it's going to look a lot like a second or third-rate Trump show. Dougie will start off by taking direction, but after a while his belief that he knows best will take over, and then the fun will begin. Or the nightmare...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-36995847319127751402018-05-05T04:12:12.888-04:002018-05-05T04:12:12.888-04:00hi anon@6:35 PM...just the thought of Ford as a gi...hi anon@6:35 PM...just the thought of Ford as a giant blow up doll was deeply disturbing. But for the Harperites running his campaign it would be a dream come true. No embarrassing statements or bozo eruptions, and only a short list of talking points to memorize.

But what worries me more than the show itself is that it will almost certainly be used to restrict other media coverage. And worse like 24/Seven copies of the tapes will be distributed to small TV stations, who can't afford to be too fussy about where they came from. And then you'll have legit stations peddling Con propaganda masquerading as news, and we'll have a real problem...

But they did produce five others on YouTube and I saw one of them, and yes it was really bad. Rob Ford had the personality or the weirdness to keep people watching, but Doug Ford has always been boring. Although I'm sure that if he does become Premier the province will become such a dog and pony show it will demean the whole country...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-9200310162948287112018-05-05T03:54:17.690-04:002018-05-05T03:54:17.690-04:00hi anon@3:53 PM...you're welcome I'm glad ...hi anon@3:53 PM...you're welcome I'm glad you liked it. I quite enjoyed researching this post, since I had almost forgotten the Con's propaganda campaigns, and how they tried to brainwash us all with our money. I worry that people will forget what a nightmare those years were, so I'm happy to do anything to keep those bad memories alive...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-36885570117106616942018-05-04T20:58:42.047-04:002018-05-04T20:58:42.047-04:00With a candidate like Dougie,distraction is a good...With a candidate like Dougie,distraction is a good strategy. Move the debate to media conspiracies and tainted politicians rather than Dougie's dismal track record and leadership ability. Considering the moderate stance that many of the party candidates adopted before Dougie and Allen rigged the vote it should be quite a circus in the legislature with baby Ford at the helm and the party is rebranded as the FordNation. Normally it takes one or two election cycles to oust the old guard after a significant change in direction. The Harper Cons had an advantage due to merger but it still took time to completely relocate into the sewer. Trump is still working on replacing Republicans with Trumpians as many not seeking reelection. Dougie is going to smack his gang over the head on day one. Should be interesting to see if they are all sheep or if some actually have some moralistic backbone.<br />RTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-43880928260133903242018-05-04T18:35:58.111-04:002018-05-04T18:35:58.111-04:00The Harperites running his campaign know that unle...The Harperites running his campaign know that unless they can muzzle Ford he will stick his foot in his mouth and self destruct.

I'm sorry I never saw that one-show wonder because it must have been really bad. But I suppose Ford will just be reading his lines in this one, if he can read, so it will just be boring.
