[NEWS] Five Canada politics links: John Tory, Doug Ford, Caroline Mulroney, Brian Mulroney, NAFTA

[rfmcdonald]

• David Rider reports on John Tory's mockery of the Doug Ford bid for the Ontario PC leadership, noting Ford's launch of his campaign in his mother's basement, over at the Toronto Star.


• Edward Keenan argues that the Doug Ford bid for the Ontario PC leadership is best seen as a way by him to prepare for the Toronto mayoralty race, mobilizing his supporters even in the event that Ford loses, over at the Toronto Star.


• John Ivison suggests that Caroline Mulroney could easily be the person who could take the Progressive Conservatives to an Ontario election victory, over at the National Post.


• The testimony of Brian Mulroney before a US congressional committee arguing against wrecking NAFTA may--I find myself hoping--be something that saves this pact. The Toronto Star reports.


• Thomas Walkon argues that the negotiators of Canada are giving up far too much are NAFTA negotiations for too little from the United States, over at the Toronto Star.
