Doug Ford keeps on getting reelected, his brother was the mayor of Toronto despite the drugs and overall unseriousness... I mean why do people elect these guys? Is it for the memes and laughs?

I'm being totally serious when I ask this btw. What does the average Doug voter's rationale for getting this guy in office? Same with former Rob Ford voters. Who voted for Rob Ford? Why?

Edit: TLDR of the answers seem to be:

  • Horrible effect of fptp, vote split between liberals, ndp and the greens
  • Low voter turnout

I will make things clear. I hate duggy, especially what he did to the Science Center, and I refused to vote for him... ever.

Wait. What did he do to the Science Centre. And is this something that slipped under my radar, or is it something I'm trying not to think about because oh god, there are so many things to think about.

Fuuuck.
I do remember that now. Sad that it got buried as "just another dick move by our government".

He works for developers.

How about his plan to start filling in Lake Ontario?

I thought obesity was supposed to shorten lifespans, but North America is tormented by old fat fucks.
