The one man running for Premier of Ontario

So the Ontario PC party has a new leader. Doug Ford won. I don't pay much attention to Ontario politics but this story has been blanket coverage, and the Ford name is recognizable and entertaining. I hope Ford wins a majority and becomes Premier of Ontario.

So Doug Ford won the PC leadership vote over 3 women. There were no other men on the ballot. Did anyone beside me notice that? I wonder if some of Ford's votes were just because they voted for the man. If so then how many? We don't know and it seems some effort was made not to enquire.

So onto the general election. and hmmm what do we have? PC party led by Ford, once again the lone man. His opponents are another all-female cast of Liberal and NDP led by women. So for those who want to vote for the man, Doug Ford is again the choice.
