And its not just the nation as a whole that thinks he's a right douche-bag. It's here in Ontario:
Once a star, Doug Ford is now a case. It happens to all leaders, but as it ever happened as fast??

Coyne Aflame
I'd heard he was pissed off at the Manning Centre Conference 2009 in Ottawa. But wow! This is almost as exciting as watching Hendrix set his guitar on fire and play it with his teeth!
h/t this guy.

The UpSide And DownSide Of The Tories Moving Right
...and going all SoCon, and etc.
The Upside:
"Harper's approval rating is in the 90s for Conservative supporters,' Graves said. 'There's a vivid gap between the Conservative base, who are very happy with the general direction of the country, and everyone else.'"
The Downside:
Asked which party they would support if an election were held tomorrow, 36.7 opted for the Liberals while 30.2 per cent chose the Conservatives. About 15.5 per cent supported the NDP, while the Green party was the choice of 8.1 per cent and the Bloc Québécois was backed by 9.4 per cent.
Tory supporters sound like they are eager to become the Official Opposition, again. Unless they've figured out how to vote twice.
PS. 36%/30% seems a very important ratio the last couple of elections, being more or less what the range of what Libs/Tories have earned over the last decade or so (since Martin's first Gov.). Makes me wonder if most of the changeable minds in Canada change from Lib. to Tory and vice-versa. Have I, as a Lefty Lib arguing for an outreach to NDP/Green voters, been barking up the wrong tree all my adult life?

Didn't I Just Say That?
...if Harper's recent references to faith and morals are part of a new strategy to play the social conservative card -- then one conclusion comes into focus. The Conservatives are more rattled by recent events than they've let on, to the point where they're contemplating abandoning eastern Canada and any hopes of a majority and retreating to their western stronghold.
I did, but I was funnier.
