For now, though, the polls suggest Ford hasn’t yet made the slightest dent in the Tories’ excellent prospects for victory on June 7. And on one issue in particular, Ford has established himself as a voice of reason while Wynne is coming off like a common loon: pot. Ford has mused about expanding marijuana retail options beyond the handful of government-run stores the Liberals have pledged to roll out. In response, Wynne has struck precisely the same Reefer Madness tone that the federal Conservatives used to oppose legalization. I can’t remember a single time I’ve tried to look on the bright side of a Rob Ford or Doug Ford situation where I haven’t wound up disappointed.
