"I look at every blunder I’ve made as being a learning experience, and I’ve made a lot of blunders, which means I’ve learned an awful lot.” 🤷 🤦

Globe did a similar 'marshmallow' profile on Doug Ford just before last year's election. "How bad could he be?"
"Ontarians don’t fear Doug Ford the way they did in 2018. While Ford has certainly had a tumultuous tenure as Premier, the visceral fear that preceded his first election is notably absent this time around". 🤦
= 'Quiet' voter suppression
Media assures voters that govt/ leader is "not that bad" .
Voters stay home.
Conservatives generally win with a low voter turnout
“The Ford family see themselves as the Canadian Kennedys and believe they are a powerful & important family political dynasty, even if outsiders view their 'goings-on' a far cry from Camelot."
