Yes. This is exactly what is happening right now. Tory just lost (likely) any progressive votes that were in the ABF crowd. Smart Track is a stupid plan with no funding and again (like Ford) it will set us back another 4 years. Add on to that his Pride\QAIA vote pandering twist and his golfing comment re: women plus his support for creationism in schools - Tory is just another right wing anti-tax dimbulb, coasting along on his money and connections. I suspect Olivia will pick up votes with ease now.
I don't see Tory stirring up a whole lot of excitement but the anti-Fords will get out and vote for him to keep Doug out. Olivia has a strong core following, she needs to rebuild on that with the fringe supporters jumping ship. The Ford camp has lost it's momentum and won't get out with near as much enthusiasm as with Rob. Now shake it all up in a cup and see what happens on Oct. 27th. It's anybody's guess, but I don't believe for a minute that Doug won't be our next Mayor. Then again, I said he would never run for the position.
