Except we've had terms specifically to address conservatives who are more liberal than conservatives. Red Tory.Things change but political views don't. Once a Conservative, always a Conservative

True but Tory was the PC leader prior to being Mayor.

I get what he's saying though.I went from being a big Liberal supporter to becoming a Harper Conservative to becoming more of a Blue Liberal. My mother was a Conservative her whole life who became more of a Liberal supporter years ago to going back to being a Conservative (thanks to our current Prime Minister and former Premier Kathleen Wynne). So no, that's not true.
Yeah, Libertarianism is totally what this country needs. SMH.Err, not always true.
I've gone from being strong conservative to now completely socially liberal, but fiscally still conservative.
What this country needs is a Libertarian party that can compete with our big 3 parties
As headstrong as Matlow is, I think he's pragmatic and smart enough to know that it's ultimately not a competition against Chow but against conservative status quo, and cut bait if he's falling too far behind. I easily see him then getting the Deputy Mayor position if she wins.Caught a brief blurb of Saunders campaigning on the news last night. The target of his ire? Bike lanes. He said he would remove the bike lanes on University, reverse the decision to make the ones on Yonge Street permanent, and cancel the installation of all proposed bike lanes everywhere in the city. All in the name of "fighting congestion".
What a disgusting troglodyte. The left better coalesce around a single candidate to ensure that this vile idiot doesn't become mayor. I'm furious that he's even suggesting those changes.
It's really best to view John Tory through the prism of his '03 Mayoral run, i.e. he was definitely the "right-wing" candidate to David Miller as the "left-wing" candidate, but the two were so fundamentally collegial as opponents as to, shall we say, soften the differential. Thus while the difference was "stark" in left vs right fundamentals, it didn't really play out as starkly as Tory vs Ford in '14--which was really more a matter of high vs low (whereas Miller vs Tory worked on a more mutually elevated level).True but Tory was the PC leader prior to being Mayor.

If you look at how he is replying to the promotional video, it seems like they were hoping for the backlash to amplify him and the campaign.Just wow, Bradford at it again...............its no longer just his foot in his mouth, he's at least knee-deep.

My understanding from speaking to people working in his campaign is that he will not drop out, and is hoping to galvanize "progressives" behind him at the debate.As headstrong as Matlow is, I think he's pragmatic and smart enough to know that it's ultimately not a competition against Chow but against conservative status quo, and cut bait if he's falling too far behind.

Why not??Yeah, Libertarianism is totally what this country needs. SMH
Because it's a many-time-failed form of politics born of selfish interests, ignores the social compact and is comprised in the vast majority by men.Why not??
What people did you speak to?My understanding from speaking to people working in his campaign is that he will not drop out, and is hoping to galvanize "progressives" behind him at the debate.

It's a wait and see kind of situation. I think if he doesn't see a significant bump in the polls after the debate, he'll throw his support behind Chow, presuming she'll still be the front runner (if he's smart).Honestly, with Olivia in the race I cannot see progressives rallying behind Josh Matlow. He can hope all he wants but it will not get him anywhere.
