How many people took Doug Ford seriously about anything?

View on HN

*Rob Ford

Frankly, either "Doug" or "Rob" applies equally.

(For those not in the know - Rob Ford was a former mayor of Toronto, whom was not known for being a particularly smart or nice person; Rob Ford died a few years ago. Doug Ford is his brother, and is the current Premier of Ontario. Doug is definitively less of an embarrassment, but only "less".)

Ah yes, in the article.

Though his brother Doug, the current premiere of Ontario, isn't that much better.
