Description
After six years of Doug-wagging, Allison and Jonathan have learned a few things.

But perhaps most disconcerting of all: that Doug Ford actually knows what he’s doing — or conversely, that he doesn’t have to know what he’s doing, because he understands this province better than any of us.
