2. Doug Ford isn't the disaster that, say, Trump is.

But he's still going to be a disaster, long-term.

And a lot of people won't notice the disaster because it won't affect them directly, but his conservative party is going to roll back sex ed in classrooms to pre-1995, just to keep references to homosexuality and trans identities out, leaving more kids confused, scared, and deeper in the closet. That's dangerous. Also, you can expect cuts to health care and education to fund his tax cuts. He's going to follow his brother's example of "Let's find efficiencies!" and when he discovers that those "efficiencies" add up to next to nothing, he's going to start cutting.

We can probably expect something similar to Mike Harries/Ernie Eaves.
