| Description |
This paper analyses the rise of authoritarian populism in the City of Toronto. We interpret the first term of Rob Ford’s mayoralty (2010–2014) as a racialized attempt to re-organize bourgeois rule within the contradictions of Canadian and Toronto politics. The Ford mayoralty has not congealed in a populist regime. As an unfinished project, Ford-ism does, however, represent a radicalizing moment in the uneven development of the new Right “revolution” that has remade Canada since the 1980s. In Toronto, the unevenness of authoritarian populism is expressed in Ford’s attempt to reinvent and cement a pre-existing political divide between “downtown” and the “suburbs.”
