Tweedledumb Speaks Up...

I haven't mentioned our mayor much since he was elected, but I've been watching, with both horror and glee, as he stumbles his way through office.
His brother, councillor Doug Ford, is part of the freak show and really flew his flag yesterday with this comment, made to reporters when discussing library cuts: "Margaret Atwood, I don’t even know her. She could walk right by me – I wouldn’t have a clue who she is."
Since there's not much we can do to oust the Brothers Ford right now, the part of me that's not horrified actually enjoys the sideshow.
It reminds me of Mel Lastman's days in office, though they seem like a lovely alternative right now.
Cheers,
Vanessa
