Dog Ford Wants to #MOGA

[mentalfloss]

Doug Ford's supporters on Twitter are calling on him to "Make Ontario Great Again," but the candidate for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party is laughing off the idea of adopting Donald Trump's catchphrase as a campaign slogan and rejecting any comparisons to the U.S president.

"No, I haven't seen that one. That's a good one," Ford told CBC News and Radio-Canada reporters Tuesday when asked about the hashtag #MOGA circulating on Twitter. "That's funny," he said with a big chuckle during an interview in his office at Deco Labels, the family business.

Ford, a former Toronto city councillor, brother of the late mayor Rob Ford and son of Doug Ford Sr., a former MPP, said he's focused on the issues that matter to Ontarians.

"We are going to create prosperity that this province has never seen, ever. And it's going to be exciting, I can tell ya," Ford said in his trademark folksy manner.

After 17 years of steady decline , it's nice to see acceptance that it's not great.

Considering that Ont is the world's largest sub-sovereign debtor, I'd wager that it will take a few generations to get that ship back on an even keel

Ford should use the slogan #cock...

They need a Govt that cuts all the subsidies.

Debt doesn't matter. Just ask flossie who thinks a house of cards is a solid structure.

Interest payments on government debt: Ontario’s fastest growing expense

Appeared in the Toronto Sun, February 3, 2016


Ontario’s debt servicing costs this year are projected to be more than $11 billion or nine per cent of overall government revenue. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/art...ernment-debt-ontarios-fastest-growing-expense

Bottom line: I like the other 2 candidates better. I think Ontario would vote in a PC majority with either of them given the current clowns in office. But if the party chooses Doug Ford, I would likely still vote for him to get rid of the Lieberals. I don't think enough Ontarions would follow my lead.

The very presence of Doug Ford on the roster is pure poison and almost a guarantee of five more years of goddam Liberals ... and probably an NDP opposition.
