    Speaking from a province where this year’s election turnout was 43%, i.e. lots of people sent the “none of the above” message - no one gives a shit. Ford has claimed he got a resounding majority mandate and acts like it, pedal to the metal on the steamroller.

      Lack of turnout != spoiled ballots. They are traditionally counted separately. If it’s rarely reported on these days that’s a problem with the reporters. Ford undoubtedly does not give a shit either way, but that just makes him a fine example of the kind of people who are not worth trying to persuade of anything.
