Leaffag here.
Having serious throwback to the Rob Ford crack scandal… crack smoking mayor of Toronto.
He was our version of GEOTUS… trying to shake things up in Toronto and did the media and establishment hate him for it. Sadly he was not as strong as Trump is and they were successful in destroying him.
And when the rumours of the crack video hit, it was constant front-page coverage.
Fun fact: CNN's Daniel Dale cut his teeth as a Toronto Star reporter covering the Ford scandal… at one point Ford caught him peering over his backyard fence and chased him away (which naturally became more news fodder).
The contrast between how the media covered Ford and how the media are covering (a.k.a. ignoring) HB could not be greater.
