The Ford Nation rally in Etobicoke was attended by approx 2200 people. Harper did not take the stage with the fords but did have Doug introduce him. Harper came to the stage and thanked the fords and made his speach.

In Winnipeg, the Trudeau rally was attended by approx 3000 people. According to many statements posted online from attendees, there was huge line ups, traffic jams and an excited atmosphere at the venue.

The numbers matter, the venues matter.
I'm surprised the fords didn't draw bigger numbers for Harper, yet happy to see they couldn't.


"Doug Ford later told reporters the event was organized by the Conservative Party, not by him, but that the Fords just brought their family and friends.

Conservative spokesman Kory Teneycke declined later to comment on whose idea it was to stage the rally, saying it’s “not one person who makes decisions for the campaign,” and we “don’t talk about individual decisions . . . but it was a great event,” he added."

The same conservative talking points.
Whether he really believes what he says or not, it's still just the same old, tired and completely out to lunch ideology.

Funny how he pointed out the mj lobby, which would consist of lp's fighting against Harper. lp's may have a bad rep around here, but at least the cause has legal business interests stepping in to the fight and helping the general public gain rights to something that should be legal IMO.

they are just used to being in court over common sense

when that jury returns with a verdict, they are constantly shown to be out of touch and delusional

scoc concurs :)

I really don't understand the thinking that would associate Harper with the Fords days before the election. How could they possibly think this would translate into votes? Well, I guess prisoners have the right to vote, so he may get a few of Rob's associates.
