Council says no to Rob Ford stadium, Oct. 5

Mayor John Tory’s support for renaming a stadium after Rob Ford was nothing short of tactical brilliance. Remember, it was not Tory who proposed it in the first place. Doug Ford raised the issue, no doubt hoping to energize his base when Tory rejected it. However, the mayor didn’t play into his scheme. Ford’s bubble burst. His political gamesmanship was denied. Well played, Mr. Mayor.
