Why, he begins to go into permanent campaign mode, of course!

“Three more years and I’ll be running again, that’s for sure,” he said. “I’m running, 100 per cent,” he added later. “I’m already out campaigning.”

McCarthyism is indeed alive and well over at City Hall. A Facebook group that won’t allow ‘commies’, although, one seems to have slipped through, but the comment has been scrubbed. Damn! shoulda taken a screen shot.

Ask Rob Fordzilla.

“If they choose not to help us, I have no other choice but to get out, as I call [it], Ford nation and make sure they are not re-elected in the next election. But I do not want to do that,” Ford said. (Bold is mine)

Enjoy! I did take care to find a less migraine inducing suit of Don Cherry’s.
