The pinko narrative: Rob Ford is a shill for the moneyed class.
-Mr. Smitherman’s donor list is thick with the cream of Toronto society: Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo, condo broker Brad Lamb, French fry magnate Wallace McCain, Indigo head Heather Reisman and her powerbroker husband, Gerry Schwartz, and investor Seymour Schulich. Each donated the individual maximum of $2,500.
Rob Ford’s donors: thousands of people you’ve never heard of.
Dear Mr. Smith,
Your side won, get over it.
