Bobblehead Trifecta


The Toronto mayor's office is selling a Rob Ford bobblehead as a fundraiser for United Way. The Robbie Bobbie looks a whole lot more like Doug Ford actually and certainly the old Steve bobblehead could do with an update too so here's the whole teacon trifecta.

h/t Willy Loman

Monday am update : While the budget meeting goes on upstairs at city hall, Rob and Doug and 7 city staffers are down in the lobby working the bobblehead sales line which goes round in a circle like caterpillars on the rim of a saucer. 
Doug Ford : “I don’t think there’s a politician in the country, including the prime minister, that could have bobblehead dolls and have them line up around the corner.”

Wed update : Judge releases some more details from police Ford/Lisi ITO :

Bobblehead Steve


Bobblehead Steve.
The doll with the spring-loaded head.
Canada's Go To Guy Hits the Streets through direct mail in the US
"You may have heard about Steve.
The little guy from Canada is getting around and he's driving a whole new CTC campaign in the US geared to meeting, convention and incentive travel markets.
Bobbleheads might not be as popular in Canada, but we have them for everything here in the US."
Yes we hear you have one running for vice president.

I'm somewhat surprised at the return to the nickname "Steve", although he did campaign as a Reform candidate in 1988 as Steve Harper.

Canada Tourism :
"Steve in a wetsuit; in Calgary, in a business suit wearing a Stetson, riding a mechanical bull"
Greg Weston : Bobblehead Steve pricey nod to U.S. :
"PM gets new look in expensive tourism marketing campaign.
...comes complete with a glossy 25-page booklet, and a custom-designed website that couldn't have cost more than a federal election. In a government where central messaging control is religion, it is all purely coincidental that the feds' latest marketing mascot is a white guy with a helmet-head hairdo. "
Heh.
