Ford Nation
''Ford Nation'' is an opinion and discussion programme that aired on the Canadian news channel Sun News Network. The show featured two sitting Toronto politicians, Mayor Rob Ford and his brother, City Councilor Doug Ford, Jr., and was pulled from the network after only one airing on November 18, 2013. A new online only version of the show debuted on YouTube on February 10, 2014. The title is a reference to the ardent, mainly suburban supporters of the Fords and their populist conservative agenda.〔("Ford brothers planning web series after turning down reality show offers from ‘Oprah and Dr. Phil,’ Doug says," ) from ''The National Post'', 11/28/2013〕
==Background==
From February 2012 to November 3, 2013,〔 the Fords hosted ''The City'', a weekly two-hour Sunday afternoon show on CFRB radio which Rob Ford described as "an unfiltered take on the work we do every day at Toronto City Hall."〔("NEWSTALK 1010, Ford brothers agree to end weekly radio show," ) from CTV Toronto, 11/8/2013〕 After months of controversy involving the mayor, criticism of the station for letting the Fords use the show as a "bully pulpit" where their political allies were promoted and opponents cut down, and complaints to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council alleging the show breached its code of ethics CFRB announced in November 2013 that it and the Fords had "mutually determined" to end ''The City'', According to one source, the mayor had been advised to end the show in order to avoid his saying something spontaneously on the live broadcast that would escalate an ongoing controversy surrounding him at that time.〔
On November 14, the brothers were tapped by Sun News Network to host a weekly pre-taped one-hour program on the TV network, to be titled ''Ford Nation''. Since its 2011 launch, the Quebecor-owned Sun News has been known for its conservative-leaning hosts and topics, a political stance that was seen as meshing comfortably with that of the Fords.
