Mayor Rob Ford’s team, drooling at the prospect of another council ally to help push his conservative agenda, is poised to unleash “Ford Nation” on Councillor Maria Augimeri in a court-ordered by-election.
Nick Kouvalis, the campaign strategist who guided Ford to victory last October, confirmed he has offered to run the campaign of Augimeri challenger Gus Cusimano if a new vote proceeds in Ward 9, York Centre.
“Augimeri isn’t keen on implementing Ford’s agenda,” Kouvalis said in a phone interview Monday, adding he plans to frame the by-election as “referendum” on Ford’s progress, with a plea to give him another vote to expand contracting-out, cut the budget and other conservative initiatives.
“Augimeri votes with the left on most occasions and, if we can replace her with somebody who votes on the center-right on most occasions, that would be a huge victory for the mayor,” Kouvalis said.
Oooo Nick, I love when you talk right wing uniformity. You may be slightly unethical*, but you talk so purdy.
* That helped land you the Harper gig, so kudos.
