The bureaucratic and media pretense that Fort Fest was not a political event is such a feeble Toronto charade. There was hardly a person there who was not grinding an axe of some kind. Maybe a few of the Ford freeloaders momentarily took their minds off of how they’ll vote as they plated up at the buffet but Mayor Ford, his brother, the other candidates (one of whom arrived riding a horse) and the LGBT gang in full regalia were all there to prosecute their view of the City. It is hard to know who is the more disingenuous, although the rainbow folks are contenders with their shocked, shocked response at how they were received.
