Yes. He knows the people. And the people now certainly know him.
The voters will decide.
From a purely philosophical standpoint, it seems that the world swings dramatically from one point to another, where subtleties don't make the headline cut, since the mental finesse required to appreciate said subtleties, is beyond the scope and abilities of the average human being. It would be ironic if the next wave of Conservatism sweeping the planet, was the exaggerated response to the present greatest (if sometimes boring -- even by his own admission) leader of the Free World, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and it would come from the ultimate Party Animal, presently the greatest celebrity on the face of the planet, Mayor Rob Ford.
This was the humour involved in a previous post above, where I suggested that PM Harper would be wise to put Ford into the Senate. Mayor Ford has suggested in some interview recently, that he has ambitions of being Prime Minister of Canada one day. Heck, he could probably knock off Obama too, if he wanted to. With Ford in the Senate, PM Harper could at least relax and breathe easy for a few years, knowing Ford would probably not challenge him right away, for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.
And no, I haven't had a puff yet (weed); but will soon.
Cheers !
And,
Ka' Pla !
