Earlier in the pandemic I said Ford was making a bet, a bet that the media propaganda would make Ford look good for coming out strong with lockdowns/restrictions. I knew he bet on the Karens, and the old folks who eat up the MSM narrative. Ford also knows the pissed off conservatives hate the NDP and Liberals more and a good chunk will still show up on election day to prevent the left from taking over. Sadly, I think Ford made a good political bet. It's not moral, it's wrong, he should be prosecuted for violating Canadians' rights, but in terms of politics he played his hand well. I bet Ford thinks this will propel him to PM one day.
