Eh! A Canadian Revolution? Well, I’ll be Bloody or Have another Boo Mateys! Under-financed, Without Liberal Controlled Medias Help, Canadian Rob Ford Becomes Toronto’s Mayor in a Landslide! Just by Copying American Populist, Anti-Elitists Tea Party Campaign Strategies:
By Marc Chamot
Even with Media’s sordid and solid holds over these nations and including Canada, they weren’t able to shut-up this populist candidate.
What’s TRULY amazing for Rob Ford, he went against all odds, against elitists’ big moneys and their Medias, Ford Became Toronto’s new Mayor by a landslide!
Not only United States and Canada are, people all over the world rising-up, against tax and spends left-wing elitists!
“Rob Ford promised to cut spending and scrap a car registration tax after he was elected mayor of Toronto last night, topping challenger George Smitherman to lead Canada’s biggest city.
Ford received about 47 percent of the votes cast, to 36 percent for Smitherman, according to the city’s election website.
Ford, 41, has vowed to curb Toronto’s spending, which he says increased 56 percent to C$9.2 billion ($9.02 billion) in the past 10 years. He’s pledged to cut the number of city councilors in half to 22, a move that will save about C$9 million a year in direct costs. He also wants to reduce the expense accounts of politicians.
“People are really fed up with the wasteful spending,” Ford said in an interview on CP24 Television from his home. “I want to thank them for their vote of confidence, and I can’t wait to put an end to this gravy train.”
Ford said that his first act as mayor will be to eliminate a car-registration tax.
“The party with taxpayers’ money is over,” Ford said in his victory speech in a hall filled with his supporters.”
Canadian Liberal-Left Elitists are reeling, and they are left asking, what the “bloody” heck happened, and what is going on with Canada, after Canadians in Toronto, amazingly, simply amazingly voted for an obscure, underfinanced and unknown mayor candidate, who employed U.S. Tea Party populists’ ideologies.
Tea Party North -- Rob Ford wins Toronto mayor's race We've pointed out before that Canada has gone totally Tea Party. Now word comes from our Canadian informant Tim Sheithner that liberal Toronto has just elected a Tea Party mayor in a landslide!
The new right wing mayor of Toronto who completely blew away his opponents. Polling had indicated the race would be close --- oops. He came out of nowhere but his platform resonated with a normally liberal city.
The issue he campaigned on: cut taxes; take on the city’s unions who were crippling the budget (first on the hit list, garbage collectors…look at privatizing it).

How did a 'Tea Party' candidate like Rob Ford win in socialist-leaning Canada? The tea party movement got an early victory this final week of campaigning. It was a “shock” victory for a no-nonsense kind of guy. The only thing is that it happened in socialist-leaning Canada, Toronto to be exact. Rob Ford is now mayor elect of that city.
He had a fraught relationship with the press, thought no reports of his ever threatening one of them. He even conducted an interview while coaching a footbal team. As reported on Now Public in sneering style.
Back around 1995, Canadians lost their rights to gun ownerships. Sadly though, Canada became another few pro-guns nations that have fallen to Liberal-left philosophies that are plaguing entire Western world, including Europe.
What’s also very shocking about this Canadian election, Canadian Media’s, elitists and their presses, have practically shut down mentioning, or bringing up connections to populists Rob Ford with American Tea Parties strategies.
Not only Canadians are angry as heck, over escalating taxes and expanding of “free loading” societies, it’s going to go right across the Atlantic to Great Britain soon too.
Ford Elected Mayor of Toronto, Defeating Former Deputy Premier Smitherman “Opinion polls showed that the two leading mayoral candidates were almost tied as recently as last week. An Angus Reid poll released Oct. 18 showed Toronto residents voting 41 percent for Ford, 40 percent for Smitherman, 48, a former deputy premier of Ontario, and 16 percent forJoe Pantalone.
The survey, conducted Oct. 14 and Oct. 15 among 1,001 adults, had a margin of error of 3.1 percent, 19 times out of 20.
Debt Rally
Toronto’s debt is rated AA by Standard & Poor’s, the company’s second-highest rating. The city’s debt burden may climb to about C$4.2 billion by 2013, a 56 percent increase from 2008, according to S&P.
The city’s 5.2 percent debentures maturing in June 2040 have returned 12 percent this year, according to Bloomberg data. That compares with an 8.5 percent total return for the broader Bank of America Merrill Lynch Canadian Provincials & Municipals Index.
Toronto, which hosted the Group of 20 nation’s summit in June, has a population of 2.48 million people, according to the city’s website.
Ford replaces David Miller, who announced last year he wouldn’t seek another term after holding the office since 2003.
In other municipal election results across Ontario today, former member of provincial Parliament Jim Watson became mayor for a second time in Ottawa, Canada’s capital. Watson received 49 percent of the vote with 81 percent of the votes tallied, according to the city’s website.
