Where's your political sense?
Every government, no matter who is in power, requires time in order to get things done. Their mandate is limp, like an old man's dick, in the last third of their tenure in office. Like your beloved libs, when they were floundering in office under Wynne, she increased funding in some areas, knowing it would be rolled back under Dougie. That is shit politics and anybody with even a pea sized brain can see that.
So yeah, Dougie needs a new mandate and I see that we need someone like him to tackle the issues that Trump is going to bring to Canada and more specifically Ontario.
Where's your political and common sense?
6 years in, is not enough time to get things done?
2 majority govts is not a limp mandate especially considering there still is 18 months still remaining in that majority govt mandate which really splays out your and Doug's ludicrous fallacy that he and you require a new mandate pronto!
Bribing voters with $3.4billion while running a current fiscal year $7billion deficit all the while adding historic and obscene multi-billions to the taxpayer's debt load is NOT tackling the issues in Ontario nor gearing up for Trump tarriffs.
It is pure populist politics that Doug is playing with the welfare of Ontarians for his own personal gains.
I just think it's funny that when the Libs give you a rebate cheque due to the carbon tax people cheer and applaud but when Ford essentially does the same thing, it's suddenly corrupt? Lol!
Then the Libs copy that and give people $250 cheques and......................crickets...but Ford is corrupt? Lol!
The hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze me.
As stated @Anbarandy, he's in the final third of his mandate and politically, he's seeking a new mandate from the people and politics is all about the popularity that you generate. smh...
I guess you'd prefer Marit Stiles, with Kristyn Wong-Tam as her second in command, in power? And if old Olivia Chow can hold onto power in Toronto as mayor, then the lunatics would indeed be running the asylum.
Talk about populist politics with no sense of reality...
You have no clue how government owned land is sold do you?
There will be a public tender to buy the land and he who pays the most will then own the land. Hell the government can maintain ownership of the land and lease it.
But no one is going to give it away. Least of all Ford.
Ahem, ahem.
You may want to check the titles on those OSC parcels of land at the southeast corner of Eglinton and Don Mills.
The City of Toronto and the TRCA own the totality of that land.
Doug would love to give it away, but it is not his land.
Doesn't explain why DoFo let 10,000 people die waiting for surgery.
That's on him.
The city owns it and leases it to the province on a 99 year lease that specifies it to be for a science centre.
Or is DoFo going to declare he owns it and try to sell it?
I wonder how many of those are people waiting for suitable donor matches for transplants of some sorts. I'm sure that people dying of heart, lung and kidney failure make up a big chunk. I had a friend who died waiting for a lung.
As much as I dislike Ford, those are not the result of any of his policies.
I wouldn't be surprised if those were the single most type of surgery on those wait lists.
With an election coming up, its time to list Doug Ford's corruption and failures.
This will go one at a time, with updates to the full list.
Starting with the highest monetary corruption scandal in Canadian history.
1) - The Greenbelt Scandal - Doug Ford rezoned farmland at the request of his wedding guest/donors, giving them a reported $8 billion windfall before a single house was built.
2) Sending out $200 checks before he announces an election despite running the biggest deficit in Ontario history.
3) Bill 124 - A bill to freeze nurses wages while giving his own cabinet raises. Taken to court, Ford wasted $4.3 billion of Ontario money losing in court followed by $6.7 billion in retroactive wages.
4) Using agency nurses instead of publicly funded nurses. Ford did this for two reasons, one to award contracts to corporate agencies and two, to try to attack the nurses union. This cost Ontario $1 billion. Confirmed by the auditor.
5) $225 million contract to build the Scarborough Subway Extension to a sanctioned Russian Oligarch.
6) Use of private phones instead of government phones and deleting emails, same crime that took down McGuinty.
7) Ontario Place Spa - Ford awarded a secret contract to a foreign company with no open bidding, a company with assets of about $1 million at the time and was failing builds in the UK. He promised to spend $650 million for a parking lot that will be flooded repeatedly. A secret 99 year lease, like the 407, which the public had to use the courts to release. He passed bills to avoid his own liability. The contract says Thermes only pays rent if they make a profit.
8) Doug Ford spent $230 million (even more then for cancelling Beer Store contracts) to cancel renewable energy contracts in 2018. In 2023 he announced new renewables contracts to fill the holes created by cancelling the previous renewable contracts. Hydro rates have gone up 38% under his leadership.
9) Doug Ford will spend $700 million to replace the science centre because his developer buddies want the land now that its next to new transit.
10) Doug Ford is threatening to call an election when he has a majority, has only worked 8 of the last 38 weeks and declares he needs a new mandate despite keeping the last one secret and having citizens sue him to release his mandate.
Doug Ford cancels controversial $8.28-billion Greenbelt land swap: ‘It was a mistake’
The premier is scrapping his controversial Greenbelt land swap in a desperate bid to salvage his sputtering Progressive Conservative government.www.thestar.com
guess you’ve a short memory and can’t remember the almost daily scandals & police investigations of the McGuinty/Wynne liberals. That kleptocracy went unabated for 15 years
Why don't you find out instead of just assuming.
DoFo has a $100 million contract with Elon over starlink in the north, despite it already being available there.
He should cancel that contract first if he's serious about the tariff war.
Thanks for not disagreeing with my point.
A very, very large number of those as listed as dying waiting for surgery must be due to a dearth of suitable donors of hearts, lungs and kidneys.
Some people just are so intent on using hyperbole.
