Let’s see, what voting decision would you make:
You could vote for a dyed-in-the-wool communist (Chow),
a RINO equivalent (Tory),
or a guy whose personal life is a wreck, but has pulled the city out of a malaise that made the Carter years look like a cakewalk, cleaned up a lot of corruption, and as a bonus entertains without trying (Ford).
I’d vote for Ford in an instant. His personal life, so long as it doesn’t affect his job performance, is nobody’s business but his own.
The press up here did a hatchet job on him that makes the treatment of GWB by the MSM down there look like a lovefest. That you think Canada’s press is any less leftist than the US press is naive, to say the least.
You got it. I suspect the drug use came out because the dealers tried to blackmail him and he refused to play along; they new the media, especially the Toronto Star, would lap it up.
As for the drug use, there is now question he’s an alcoholic but I’m pretty sure that he was only an casual user of crack. I live on a block full of crackheads and know enough about it to realize that there’s no way he’d be able to cover up an addiction.
