It was supposed to be a political fairy tale. Caroline Mulroney, the daughter of Brian, joining the Ford regime.
And on her way to one day being crowned prime minister.
But sadly for her and her father, it just didn't work out that way.
After the glittering coach that was supposed to carry her to the doorway of 24 Sussex
Drive, suddenly turned into a pumpkin.
It's hard to believe that just over two weeks ago Patrick Brown was the king of his Con castle.
And getting ready to bury Kathleen Wynne's Ontario Liberals in the next provincial election.
He had chiseled the rough edges off his Cons, made them look like a bluish version of the Liberals, a party fit for the 21st Century.
But then as we know, his whole world fell apart, and the beast came roaring back.
