Well, it was crack, but ~~yes. He went from being a mayor to a premier.~~ And people are shocked that the corrupt asshole is acting all corrput.

Edit: It was his brother, as the commentor below points out. But Dougie was known to be shitty before he was premier.

No, that was his brother. Rob Ford was mayor of Toronto and died a few years back.

Doug Ford is his brother who used Rob's popularity and name to propel himself to premiership.

My mistake. Thank you for the correction. Still a corrupt shitbag though.

He won with less than 23% voter turnout, the lowest turnout in Ontario's entire history.
