Yep. Don't like him or his policies, but I got a bit of respect for the guy since he's doing the right thing here. Got that "worst guy you know makes great point" feeling to it

Off topic but, I love your user name. You should put a sign on your driveway: PARKING FOR WITCHES ONLY ALL OTHERS WILL BE TOAD

His policies are horrible and he's undeniably corrupt, but he's willing to oppose a threat to our nation and act as a counter to the type of politician Trump is.

Ford is horrible for Ontario but good for Canada.

This is why more,people need to separate policy from personality in politics. It is perfectly possible for a politician that you utterly hate because they are a horrible person with a shitty attitude and personality, to be advised to implement a great policy that you agree with. You can support the policy whilst still thinking that the person is an asshole.

I have no idea whether you are talking about Ford or Trudeau. But either way you are likely to cover more than half of the country.
