Doug Ford is neck deep in the ‘swamp’
No buxom porn star has yet emerged from the unsettling and increasingly stormy campaign of PC Leader Doug Ford.
But there are weeks yet until the June 7 election. So who’s to say what surprise might be lurking in his anything-apparently-goes organization?
Call it a swamp. Call it a gravy train. But this week, the Ford campaign is looking messier by the day.
The most worrisome of the mounting missteps is Ontario’s version of the Cambridge Analytica affair in the U.S. that caused such headaches for Facebook and raised questions about abuses of private information in President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory.
Simmer Sandhu, a PC candidate in Brampton East, quit suddenly on Wednesday after his former employer, 407 ETR, said it was investigating the “inside theft” of names, addresses and phone numbers of 60,000 users of the toll highway.
Since then, voters in Ontario have reported receiving messages from the PC party. And media have reported that the pilfered data might have been used by dozens of PC candidates.
