How can any decent conservative reconcile Harper aligning himself with the Fords?

It seems pertinent at this point to rehash Rob Ford’s behaviour in office, as variously described in sworn affidavits and accounts from those who knew and encountered and worked with him, and in some cases freely admitted by the man himself: smoking crack with gangsters, who videotaped it, then offering $5,000 and a car to get it back; having his drug-dealer pal Sandro Lisi exchange 1.5 kilograms of marijuana for his cell phone, which had been stolen by gangsters; careering around City Hall drunk in the dead of night; driving drunk, including after having downed a mickey of vodka in two minutes, whereupon a staffer in the vehicle begged to be let out; being tailed around town by a police airplane; offering staff positions to his drug buddies; assaulting staff members; calling Justin Trudeau a “fag”; racially abusing a taxi driver; prostitutes, maybe; and just generally lying about absolutely everything, absolutely all the time.
We knew all that before excerpts from Ford’s former chief of staff Mark Towhey’s new book hit the news, conveniently enough this week, in Maclean’s and Politico. We can now add a terrifying alleged domestic disturbance, including a death threat from Ford to his wife, which Towhey tried with some apparent success to defuse over the phone.
The man was a menace to society, a total degenerate. Jason Kenney called on him to resign. “We are never going to be fans of anyone who sets a poor example by their personal behaviour in any elected position. We’ve made that clear with regard to Justin Trudeau’s comments over the summer (about smoking pot),” Immigration Minister Chris Alexander told CBC News back in 2013.

I guess Rob Ford's behaviour is now forgivable, but Justin Trudeau admitting to having smoked pot is completely unforgivable.
