The coach is still in Mayor Rob Ford’s corner.
But Don Cherry wants the embattled mayor to “straighten” up.
Why Ford Is Still the Man to Beat
At these Ford Fests, Ford is treated like a racial rock star. Ninety percent of his people are non-white. They have come to see Ford, not for the free beer and hot dogs. But to be photographed with Ford. To hear his simple message, of saving their tax dollars. And stopping the 'gravy train" of free-spending urban elites. And of course, "Subways, subways, subways!" The battle cry of these suburbanites who for too long had been ignored by the lefty Millerites at City Hall.
I have covered Canadian and American politics since the 1970s . Ford's immigrant non-white supporters revere Ford as if he was a combination Bobby Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
It has to been seen, to be believed.
One of the best pieces on Ford to date. h/t Eyecrazy
