Some people
are drawing a parallel between the governing approach of recently elected
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and U.S. Pres. Donald Trump. The similarities with
their policy and program decisions is tantamount to the famous quotation of a U.S.
navy admiral who declared “Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead”.
Let’s hope however
that Ford does not fall into the same abyss as Trump and overlook the fact that
once elected you are the leader for everyone, not just your voting base. Notwithstanding
the usual pre-election embellishment of promises, if Ford has any aspirations
for a future re-election he should pay attention for the need to pursue a give
and take on disagreements.
