There’s no doubt Karen Stintz made Rob Ford look like a monkey at the Salsa “election debate” on St. Clair Ave a couple of days ago. The Lady from Lawrence Park revealed a saucy Salsa style and more charisma than we’ve seen from her during this whole interminable campaign. Ford was a klutz. But what a difference a playground can make. Today in Woburn Park our ungainly chief magistrate relegated Ms Stintz to candidate for wallflower as he clambered all over the monkey bars with his young son. A clever monkey he. The two members of council were there in Ms. Stintz political backyard of Ward 16 to open two new playgrounds. Ford showed up with his youngster and began to climb and bounce on flexible supports to the playground equipment. What does all this mean? Maybe not much except there is a trickle of twitters tonight that say this is the kind of thing that really rehabilitates a man.
