and, why do the fords do so well with black and brown voters?

we can all speculate.

my guess is that, to a jamaican or muslim immigrant in toronto, ford's rhetoric about "taking on the elites" translates roughly to "fighting the white man". and, the fact that he's so gruff and macho and plain spoken makes him more culturally similar to something they can identify with than a posh, liberal white dude in an expensive suit - who they may speculate is secretly gay.

the reasons may not be clear yet.

but, ford will win immigrants in wide sections of the province.
