Much has been made of the so-called Ford Nation and its potential to storm Ontario's legislature in the upcoming provincial election. But the coalition that could deliver victory to Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives in June looks less like a new political movement — and more like a Common Sense Revolution 2.0. PC voters still older, wealthier and maleThe demographic make-up of PC voters today is also nearly identical to the coalition that elected Harris in 1995. Does this make "Ford Nation" little more than an effective political slogan, much like the Common Sense Revolution of 1995? It found that just five per cent of Ontarians consider themselves members of Ford Nation, while another 25 per cent say they do not identify as such but are a "fan."
