Doug Ford on the city’s downtown boom:
“I’m not saying Rob gets 100 per cent of the credit, but I am saying we’ve created an environment to attract people from all over the world, not only to to invest in our city but to live in our city.”
Because, you know, remember prior to 2010 when downtown was dead, no one lived downtown, no one was building anything downtown? Good thing that Rob and Doug came along to create the environment to attract people to invest and live in our city.
