I’m well aware of that. They’re both very much Red Tories who’s policies and actions could sway either way. The party system tries to package candidates under one label and then forces them to vote as a unified block, regardless of their actual feelings, or else lose support of the party. I’d say looking at their actions as mayor, that Bob is much more conservative in practice than Fred.
Just in the same way Whitehead keeps musing a run for provincial or federal Liberal parties, Partridges run as a Liberal, or down the road in TO, Giorgio Mammoliti who was one of Fords right hand men on Council despite being a former NDP MPP.
