It is an appalling idea, but I have no doubt that loyal members of Ford Nation will support it. Whether anyone in the PC caucus has the cojones to stand up against it remains to be seen (has the Premier already run it by caucus? I shouldn't think there was time). I really wonder what the City of Toronto is supposed to do now pending further court action, recall of Parliament, and invocation of the notwithstanding clause? Do they prepare for an election of 47 councillors? 25 councillors? Both? Neither?
