News in tweets: Tory, Ford and unidentified baby win
Not news: Trudeau’s attacks on Ford have been a lot of hot air, and Preston Manning is a conservative.
Shocking.
This major transit news is a huge win for @JohnTory. And it exposes @JustinTrudeau’s incessant attacks on @fordnation as a lot of BS. At the end of the day, the Trudeau gang are doing what Doug Ford wanted. #elxn43 #cdnpoli https://t.co/H03lEfnjHK

Two things, one news and one not: it’s not really news that Preston Manning opposes Liberals. It *is* news how little comparative impact the myriad “Proud” groups have had in #Elxn43. #cdnpoli https://t.co/LOjoWgmqjL pic.twitter.com/jGHqXFI18D

I think I have never before heard about a leader of country chastising a baby for lack of eyebrows. That’s a first for me. #elxn43 #cdnpoli

But, but….Doug Ford is evil! Only Blackface Groper can save us!
Pretty soon he’ll just be “The Member from Papineau”. And the knives will be out. As will Jerry and Katie.
To be clear for your readers outside TO, the Libs are actually supporting Toronto city council in whatever decision it made, which was to maintain the status quo re ownership and operation of subway lines (ie not uploaded to the province) in a new deal. Since the City has agreed to go with Ford’s version of the DRL* (now longer by a several km and called the Ontario Line) in return for maintaining this control, the Libs are technically agreeing to fund Ford’s redesign of the project. You are technically correct but this doesn’t bode well for future cooperation on other Ont/Fed issues.
