Appeal of their message to their base: Making America great again, Stopping the gravy train
Ever snce Donald Trump began surging in polls in the race for the Republican nominee for president, the Toronto media has compared his rise to that of former Toronto mayor Rob Ford. The comparison is allowing the Ford haters, of which are many in the media, to say that Trump’s appeal is the same as Ford’s. While some of them “get it,” many have no idea what attracts ordinary people to Ford and Trump and using Trump as an excuse to take another shot at Ford who is no longer mayor.
For example, Boom 97.3 which is apparently a Toronto FM radio station, posted a picture saying, “Dear U.S.A., We feel your pain Sincerely, Toronto.” as if they speak for the entire city that gave Ford an overwhelming victory in the 2010 mayor’s race. Juvenile. They probably couldn’t care less about Trump: just using him as an excuse to bash the former mayor once again.
And then there was an article that appeared in the National Post on July 22. The best thing about this column is it serves as an excellent illustration of how far the Post, founded by Conrad Black in 1998, has fallen. It is a Rob Ford hit piece worthy of the left wing Toronto Star or the Globe and Mail.

Did I mention he was an open addict, who let the power of his office consume him?
