> Why Canadians keep the Ford family in power
The Greater Toronto Area is very progressive, but once you travel out of that area, it very much resembles the US' flyover states - in appearance and politics. Ford spends all of his time campaigning in dinky little towns that hate Toronto.
- refurb 7y agoThose dinky little town in fly over country! Why do they feel like they should have a say in how the province is run?
- jbob2000 7y agoThey should have a say, but right now they're being leveraged for political gains (like the flyover states!). None of these people voted for gas pump stickers, blue license plates, and education funding cuts. Yet they were leveraged to vote for the party that provided these instead of one that was working to provide lower utility and daycare costs.
- refurb 7y agoThat seems like a long winded way of saying they voted for the party in power.
