Not an Official Green Party Canada Site: Possibly the dumbest things Doug Ford ever did
When I first saw this article in the Toronto Star, I thought maybe it was a spoof, or somebodies wishful thinking. Apparently Doug Ford has lost the DVD’s that contained ALL their contact databases from the 2010 Mayoralty election. Mitch Wexler had been hired to manage the data, and to
