    Doug Ford has announced that the 2022 campaign has begun and the Liberals are currently polling as his top rivals, despite being decimated in the last election. We visit the final debate for Liberal Party leadership to see who will ultimately face off against the Premier.

    Plus, a review of Run This Town, a movie that’s about Rob Ford, but is also sort of about Jonathan Goldsbie. Run This Town will be released in select theatres on March 6th.
