Ontario’s premier is attempting to paint himself as an ambitious visionary and his rivals as sticks in the mud
And Doug Ford ? Not to be outdone, the Pharaoh of Ontario stood in front of a backdrop of moving automobiles this week to announce that he wanted to build aunder Canada’s busiest highway, the 401. Mr. Ford told goggle-eyed reporters that it would be one of the world’s longest tunnels, incorporating not just a new, underground highway but a transit line as well.
Anyone who questioned the idea was a short-sighted naysayer. “These are the same people who oppose every project … It’s no, no, no.” That went double for, leader of the opposition Liberals, coincidentally the main opponents of his Progressive Conservatives in the next provincial election.study, much less see the results, “I’ll tell ya one thing, we are getting this tunnel built.”
So just as Donald Trump vows to drill, drill, drill, he is promising to dig, dig, dig. His tunnel news conference had the unmistakable air of a campaign whistle-stop, with Mr. Ford posing as the bold leader who will stop messing around and get ‘er done.
