CONTROVERSIAL YET DIFFERENT: 5 THINGS THAT SET APART FORD AND TRUMP Looking at both campaigns, six years apart, you might think these two campaigns are hitting many of the same marks – that Rob Ford’s 2010 win against well-funded Liberal George Smitherman might provide instruction to Trump’s attempt to best wellfunded Democrat Hillary Clinton. But really? Nick Kouvalis, who took over Ford’s own faltering campaign in July 2010, says it’s more complex. Metroland file photo FEATURE: Pages 12 and 13

living in the riding to vote for Progressive Conservative candidate Raymond Cho. Of course, Brown has made it clear that he doesn’t want votes on that basis. Based on his own leadership, it would be duplicitous, and it’s to his credit that he’s unwilling to win an election that way. What this summer byelection misstep does show is what could remain an existential rift in the Progressive Conservative party heading into the main game in 2018: the gap between a socially conservative wing of the party, and the fiscally conservative, socially centrist wing that dominated during Bill Davis’ Blue Machine era last century and still held sway to a degree during the more tumultuous Mike Harris years in the late 1990s and early aught. Ontario’s PCs have been in the middle of a tug of war since that time. John Tory tried and failed to achieve a mandate, pulling the party back to the centre. Tim Hudak, likewise, failed to bring the party back to power by pulling much farther to the right. Whatever the outcome of today’s byelection in Scarborough-Rouge River, Brown will have to decide how he will lead through in 2018. The Cho campaign has made it clear there may be an appetite, on the ground in Scarborough at least, for a hard-right, socially conservative pendulum swing. And even if there’s not that much appetite on the ground…clearly, there is, as there ever has been, a powerful hunger within the party itself. On that, there should be no confusion.
@InsideTOnews
About 31,200 jobs were lost in July stated a Statistics Canada report recently released. Full-time employment fell by 71,000 from June to July while part-time work increased by 40,000.
Voters in Scarborough-Rouge River will be casting ballots today in the byelection to replace Liberal MPP Bas Balkisoon – and here’s hoping that by now most of them are clear on at least one key point: Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown is not planning on scrapping the controversial sex-education plan introduced by Kathleen Wynne. Early voters – about 4,500 of them who voted in advance polls from Aug. 20 to 26 – can be excused for a bit of confusion. On the weekend, a letter went out from PC candidate Raymond Cho’s campaign, claiming Brown had a very different plan: that the PCs would, if they prevailed in the 2018 provincial election, scrap the whole thing. On Monday, Brown was forced to clarify, and he did in an essay published in the Toronto Star. “It was a mistake for a letter to go out to Scarborough-Rouge River voters saying I would “scrap” the updated curriculum. This is not my view. This is not what I will do.” What he would do, wrote Brown, is consult on future additions to the curriculum. The local campaign parsed those words, somehow, to mean that he would also get rid of what was there. It’s a pretty big shift on the part of the ground campaign. Brown was, after all, on record firmly as supporting Wynne’s sex-education plan, in spite of protests from some parents who are fearful of its frank inclusion of subjects such as LGBTQ and trans-gender issues, masturbation, consent and contraception. Such a shift might, indeed, convince some of those parents

GLASSWORK MASTERY CHIHULY exhibit shines at the ROM until Jan. 2, 2017
More than 50 years after he first developed an interest in glasswork, Dale Chihuly still inspires a sense of awe and wonder through his art. The American-born and internationally renowned artist’s eye-popping work has already dazzled countless guests at the Royal Ontario Museum, and it will continue to do so until the ROM’S CHIHULY exhibit closes on Jan. 2, 2017. CHIHULY features immersive and sitespecific installations, with massive pieces that showcase Chihuly’s mastery of glasswork. The expertly crafted works of beauty are all the more remarkable for their ability to capture and refract light. While the exhibit has been open for much of the summer, two upcoming events will add new elements to the exhibit. On Sunday, Sept. 18, ROM Family Funday will allow guests to explore Chihuly’s use of light, shape and colour through hands-on demonstrations. Adults can also enjoy a Colour on Fire sleepover on Friday, Sept. 23 to experience CHIHULY after dark. For more information on the exhibit, including how to buy tickets, visit www.rom.on.ca/ en/chihuly

Eglinton Crosstown Update: Station Open House Metrolinx is building the Eglinton Crosstown, Toronto’s new 19-kilometre light rail transit (LRT) line that will run along Eglinton Avenue with a central 10 km underground section.

Controversial, yet
different
A businessman whose success stems from inherited wealth, whose opinion tends toward the blunt and controversial, and whose celebrity makes a populist-fuelled run for high office a real possibility. Remind you of anyone? If you said real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, congratulations: you’re alive on this planet in 2016. If you said the late former Toronto mayor and councillor Rob Ford… well, congratulations too. You were around for at least some of the controversial mayor’s term of office, and may even remember his juggernaut campaign to win the mayoralty in 2010.
And looking at both campaigns, six years apart, you might think these two campaigns are hitting many of the same marks — that Rob Ford’s 2010 decisive win against well-funded Liberal George Smitherman might provide instruction to Trump’s attempt to best wellfunded Democrat Hillary Clinton. You might think that in August 2016. But really? Nick Kouvalis, the Conservative pollster who took over Ford’s own faltering campaign in July of 2010, says it’s more complex. There are some similarities — but there are key differences between Ford and Trump that could turn out to be deal-breakers, in almost every area.
What would Kouvalis advise Trump to do? What Ford did in 2010: stay on message, listen to his advisors and never, ever ad-lib. Do that, said Kouvalis, and the Republican campaigns downstream will start doing the groundwork that Trump’s campaign hasn’t yet begun.
5
The Competition: Here, Kouvalis says, there are similarities. While Trump is behind in nearly every poll, in former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton he is facing an opponent who is well funded but historically unpopular among voters. Ford was in similar circumstances, vis-à-vis former Liberal Cabinet Minister George Smitherman. Kouvalis maintains that unpopularity pushed Ford’s support to 47 per cent — higher than anyone had expected. And he said that Clinton’s unpopularity could in the end be the one thing that might help Trump recover. “He’s still got three months,” said Kouvalis. “He doesn’t have to bring it back that much — he’s behind five points nationally and that’s nothing.”
Facebook.com/InsideToronto
2
The base: Kouvalis concedes that Ford’s base — the group of mostly suburban voters who eventually became known as Ford Nation — and the base of supporters attending Trump’s rallies come from the same source: “People who are just really pissed off. That’s sort of the same, people who can’t get ahead as hard as they work.” One difference, though, is that Ford’s base was multi-ethnic; Trump so far has extended his appeal to mostly white voters, aided by consistently racist rhetoric. And that, said Kouvalis, is a mistake.
4
The Ground Game: On this, there is no comparison. Led by Kouvalis, Ford’s campaign team pushed hard to build a database based on Ford’s own records of phone calls he’d returned and, later, based on robocalls. By election day, the campaign knew who their supporters were, where they lived, and how likely they were to come out and vote. Trump, said Kouvalis, “has got nothing. We’re talking about a national race. I just don’t know how you can have nothing. Hillary Clinton has 700 paid staff in a building.”
@InsideTOnews
1
The brand: As mentioned earlier, both men are outsiders with private sector bona fides. But where Trump is famous for living in gold-plated luxury and arrogantly firing those who don’t measure up, Ford spent a decade as a city councillor in Etobicoke, doing the opposite. “He had 10 years at City Hall,” says Kouvalis, who notes that Ford was also famous for returning constituents’ phone calls and trying to help with small issues. “He did all the phone calls but he was specifically wellknown as a guy not putting up with waste and mismanagement.”
3
The Gaffes: Both campaigns have dealt with missteps and scandals, but Kouvalis says that Trump is in a worse position because most of his problems arise from missteps on the campaign trail — insulting the Khan family, suggesting a judge with Mexican heritage was unqualified to rule on his case are two examples. Ford’s problems — a drunk driving case from many years past in Florida, or a tape in which he appeared to discuss helping a supporter buy street-level OxyContin — were in the past. “People don’t care about things in the past. They do kind of care about things that are said in the moment.”

things that set Rob Ford and Donald Trump apart
And ultimately? Take the lesson from Ford. “Ford and Trump are different because Ford knew why he wanted to be the mayor and Ford was also willing to learn. He was humble and Trump isn’t. Trump knows what he knows and doesn’t want to ever admit that he doesn’t know something,” said Kouvalis. DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com
SEP 01 2016 |
* In the days following this interview (conducted over Aug. 22-23), Trump may have shown signs of following this advice, softening his position on immigration and attempting at least nominally to reach out to African American voters, and his standings in polls has improved. But as the late Rob Ford was wont to say – the only poll that counts is the one on election day. And that is still more than two months off.

SPECIAL RETIREES' HEARING AID! A new hearing aid offer has been introduced for retirees. The hearing aid is a great value, simple to operate and brings IMPROVED hearing to thousands!
At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available. The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments. Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear. Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing. Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to reduce
the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids. Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings. A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!
