Yes, in normal times Carney and Ford would barely be on speaking terms. Ford is hardly Carney's flunky. But, this is a case of opponents joining together to fight an even bigger enemy.

Ford is an absolute piece of shit, yeah. He's a conservative who has absolutely gutted our healthcare, education, social services and countless other things. He's also currently in a war against bikes and has been getting bike lanes ripped out all over the province.

I hate him with a passion but he has at least been very offensive in asserting our sovereignty which is nice even if it's completely shallow and done purely for his own self interests. Marlaine on the other hand though...

He called him governor to continue the threat of making Canada an American state. And boy is America in a state.

He's very loud and definitely has a similar vibe, but he's taken the opposite tack with America as all our other conservatives, and actually does get along really well with the Liberal government behind closed doors.

It might be because Rob, also mentioned in the tweet, OD'd, so now the smart brother is carrying on. There isn't really an American equivalent. Churchill is an interesting British parallel, in both the good and bad ways.

Thanks for explaining that.

Ford has always been good at snappy one liners in the press. Trump Lite is right.

Carney can talk all he wants about balanced economic reciprocity, but you know Ford easily gets to the top of Trump’s media feed when he says shit like “then we’ll shut off the water and power!”

I can't believe this even needs to be explained. But so many of them don't bother to learn anything about us.

Spewing nonsense just makes Trump supporters want him even harder. All he has to do is stroke a nerve which is something he's great at.
