doug ford is a weird candidate and a difficult opponent. his landslide election does not represent a swing to fiscal or social conservatism (although i worry about the latter premise), but is rather reflective of his popularity amongst a demographic that does not usually vote. what doug ford did to win was increase the size of the electorate.
it is likely that these non-voters will go back to not voting when ford is gone, or when they get bored with him. in the mean time, the liberals need to also increase the size of the electorate and bonnie crombie is the best option.
in fact, i'd suggest that crombie may even swing some of these ford non-voters based on her physical appearance.
her politics are acceptable. she is liberal enough to support to drive ford out of office.
