I'm surprised that anyone is surprised at Ford's behaviour. This was how he acted as a city councillor, as the apologist for his brother and as a candidate for mayor. Everyone who's familiar with Deco and the business he's in has known for years that he was an incompetent and unethical blowhard.
I was very much against the Wynne government, but the PCs could simply have picked Christine Elliot and we'd have a competent, reasonable adult running the Province.
Have you ever seen their voting record during their time at city hall? Majority of votes were like 30-2 (or whatever) with Rob & Doug voting against everything on principle. They'd hold a vote to offer handicapped services flyers at local libraries and the brothers would vote against. Literally, I'm not making this stuff up.
