So long as Tory spouts Fordian policies, he deserves ridicule.
So the 'Chow is worse than Ford' dementia has now affected Tory haters? Make no mistake, I'm not a fan of some of his policies (particulary on transit), but he has been a responsible manager of a very large corporation, and HE DOESN'T SMOKE CRACK IN DRUNKEN STUPORS.
There is NO equivalent amongst the leading and respectable fringe candidates to Ford. The only thing, THE ONLY THING, that 100% for certain has to happen in this election is that Ford must be defeated.
I have no issue with people being passionate for or against the other candidates. But you lose me every time you make a Godwin's Law reference to Ford -- Fordwin's Law?
I totally agree EB.i wish there was a candidate suggesting this...

I suppose he's playing politics here and trying not to make "Ford Nation" feel TOO stupid for their 2010 vote. Nonetheless, his spineless 'benefit of the doubt' stance with Rob Ford, despite scandal after increasing scandal, left me with the feeling that he's not much of a leader whatsoever (or talk show host for that matter).I agree that Tory is no where as horrible a human being as Ford. But I lost all respect for him as a talk show host who refused to speak out against Ford but actually spend most of his time trying to convince everybody why Ford should get the "benefit of the doubt". He was pretty spineless in the last four years as talk show host during the Ford years. His policy hasn't really impressed either and seems to be easily intimidated by the people who yell the loudest.
