Thank you for this. It was wild seeing some media talking about Ford's leadership as if he hadn't been absent for so much of the crisis, like he often has been throughout the pandemic.
I think, with respect, that Del Duca has been pretty good, and that the circumstances now don't really lend themselves for anyone to profit politically. I mean, yes, point out that Ford has been, as usual, AWOL. But one can't win any plaudits for being a critical voice. He has firmly endorsed taking action, and that's about all one can do. And he's been quite visible. Far more visible than Mr. Ford.
The real question is whether Del Duca and the OLP will find a way to saddle Mr. Ford with his failures, and keep the memory of this particular front and centre, quantifying exactly what the cost has been directly to Ontarians, and in weakening the important political infrastructure. And most importantly, can they clearly articulate an alternate vision, and critically, a convincing and different kind of leadership.
