Outside of changing their policies right now I don't see a ton they could do to change my opinion. It certainly has a lot more to do with their policies overall than just a "low taxes=good" but getting support from the Fords is a way down the list of things that matter to me in this election especially considering how awful the other options are.
I don't see the Liberals or NDP as options for my vote. The Greens and CHP are a joke so I guess if Harper and other Conservatives went on a murder rampage maybe I wouldn't vote at all but yes I think it would take so sort of ridiculous situation like that for me to change my vote at this point.

You don't think it is a little hypocritical and cynical, given Harper's tough on crime and drugs agenda, that he is using the Fords to squeeze a few more votes? Given both of their admissions to using drugs, and Rob's continuous drunk driving doesn't it show poor taste, and judge of character on Harper's part?
I was told by a very proud and successful man once, that you should surround yourself with those of good character, and you can get a good idea of the type of person someone is by those he chooses to surround himself with. So this seams particularly telling to me.
