What about the time needed to sweep up after them?

Interesting. Some people think he might go for that vacant seat in Scarborough.

Sorta like how, at the other end of the spectrum and in a different Scarb seat, Adam Giambrone did.

No mention the cost of that reception up at congress centre - I bet it won't be all that cheap.

Not only that, but probably running at a shortfall, given the Ford propensity to set unrealistic attendance et al goals....

I think we should do everything we can to get him elected provincially. It'll keep him away from city hall and three years as an opposition backbencher should sap any political will left in his body. Maybe he can even follow in his daddy's footsteps and lose the next nomination.

Brown should read Towhey's book before accepting Doug Ford into his party.

You think if they form government Dougie will be holding private meetings with lobbyists in Brown's office without telling him what he was up to?

Reading between the lines it sounds like Doug is running his own draft Doug campaign. One call to Worthington and now he's instantly the frontrunner. Alternately, this is a chance for Brown to float the balloon at low risk.

Still can't believe that Brown would be naïve enough to let Doug run. Brown isn't stupid and he's not panicking so he must see this doesn't fit well with the PC long game.

Yeah, he is used to commanding attention as a counciillor and mayoral candidate. Backbenchers generally don't do that. They make the odd generic speech and tow the party line.

So who says he's going to be a backbencher. According to Rob, Doug is the smartest man he's ever met. Going by that, he should at least be second in line.

Wonder if he'll handle complaints about potholes on the 401?

Regarding police funeral expenses.

"Toronto Paramedic Services: $1,500 (honorarium for honour guard). "

The Paramedic HG was tiny in numbers compared to the Police HG. ( That's not including the "regular" police officers involved in non-ceremonial uniforms and duties. )

I would therefore expect the cost police of the police HG alone to be significantly higher than $1,500.

Anyone who has ever hired police officers for a funeral knows how expensive hiring just a couple, for just a couple of hours, can be.

Maybe he will run as an independent with the tacit approval from Brown - the nudge nudge wink wink would serve both well. Brown is obviously concerned about looking intolerant and worse - but when push comes to shove, he have no trouble sleeping with the more radical elements of his party (e.g. McNaughton - over the whole sex ed thing). Maybe he'd put forth no candidate - or some sacrificial lamb one that has no hope in hell of winning.

I'm still thinking there might be a chance that Dougie will try to be Trump's running mate.

Edit: Sorry, that was a silly idea; the idea of a shit disturber that can't be directly linked to the OPC is interesting. I personally think Dougie should be made a Senator.

Well he might be offered a cabinet position which I think Tim Hudak would have done.
