Doug Ford won't let trivial things like "spelling" or "facts" get in his way

You’ve got to hand it to Toronto mayoral candidate Doug Ford. He’s loud, aggressive and passionate.

Accurate? Well, not so much.

“Fifty-eight thousand new jobs"? Not really. In fact, Toronto has lost 64,000 jobs over the past year alone.

“Stopped the gravy train”? Only if adding $400 million to the city’s budget qualifies as stopping gravy trains nowadays.

“Worked day and night”? Possibly, but hard to imagine given he had the third-worst attendance record among city councillors last year.

But beyond trivial things like facts, it appears the accurate spelling of some of Toronto’s key regions is also not a requirement for candidate Ford.

A graphic of Ford's proposed subway expansion plan – you remember, “subways, subways, subways” – on his campaign website features the glaring misspelling of three key stops in the plan – Don Mills, Eglinton and Eglinton West.

Instead, the Ford team has them listed as "Done Mills," "Eglington" and "Eglington West."

Don Peat, the Toronto Sun’s City Hall Bureau Chief, was quick to jump on the gaffe.

“Doug Ford campaign might want to proofread its transit map,” Peat tweeted Friday.

But really, who cares about little details like accuracy when you’re loud, aggressive and passionate, anyways?
