We can stop Trumpism from coming to Canada

So far, Doug Ford’s campaign to become premier of Ontario is a festival of fakeness.

He communicates primarily through fake news reports on “Ford Nation Live.” He was cheered on by fake supporters (actually paid actors) at the first leaders’ debate. And then there’s Ford’s phony populism: this is a man who markets himself as the saviour of “the little guy” while pushing policies that would deliver a Trump-style bonanza for billionaires.
