That is your hypothesis. Of course it is the manner in which leaders connect with people in relaying their policies. At the end of the day polices and accomplishments do really matter!!
Maybe this is what skoob is proud of.
Same reason he likes the convicted felon and rapist.

Proven.

You can't find one thing he's accomplished in decades in office.
PeePee is the worst politician ever.
This is the part where you beg for proof and then after I provide it, you will tap dance your way around it, twist words, coat yourself in axle grease, and many posts later you'll pretend like you don't remember how you fell on your face and start your whole circle-jerk over again.

Sound about right?

I can make you do that on demand. Want to show everyone how well I have you trained buddy?

As I thought you cannot post any links as such. So if you have your opinion and I have mine what is your gripe then?

We see Ford constantly doing U turns when he is being found out. We know how irrational it is for someone who has to lead.

So, I will stick to my opinion in this respect!!
So your excuse is that I can't provide any links? Like I didn't do my own search before I commented?

If you are so confident, how about you do your own search that proves Wynne was the best and that DoFo was the worst?

btw I would rather a government that makes decisions and then reverses them than a government who just plows ahead in a tone-deaf arrogant manner and never reverses anything. Isn't that what government should do?

I would rather someone tell it like it is, than blow smoke up everyone's ass just so they can get away with screwing up the country while people are blissfully unaware.

Nice try but that's a Metrolinx contract and Metrolinx is provincial.
Did they open the Eglington line yet?
How big was the CEO bonus?
Metrolinx quoted the project but it's Toronto who makes the decision and has to pay for the majority of the bike path. Surely Metrolinx isn't the only company who can build a bike path. They need to open up the bidding process. I bet there's a company who could do it for far less and probably faster. Seriously, is a $150 million bike path a priority for Chow, when she's crying for money for shelters, homelessness, affordable housing etc?

Like with health care, you're always looking for excuses for DoFo.

Is the goal to spend the most $$$ on healthcare per capita, or to have the best outcomes? My money's on the latter. But people like yourself, with Ford Derangement Syndrome (FDS) will always point to Ford and how every single one of his policies is a fail. Whether it's true or not.

"The same source that shows Ontario spends the least per capita of all provinces also shows that Ontario has the best outcomes on key metrics.

According to the Canadian Institute of Health for Health Information, the average spent per resident when considering both public and private funding is $8,740. The highest province in the country is Newfoundland and Labrador at $10,333 while Ontario is dead last at $8,245.

What’s interesting is that on six treatments measured nationally, Ontario is the leader across Canada in providing timely access to hip replacement and knee replacement surgeries. When it comes to providing timely access to radiation therapy, Ontario meets the mark 99% of the time just behind Manitoba at 100% but well ahead of Newfoundland, the big spender among the provinces which only meets the mark 57% of the time.

On hip fracture repair, Ontario is just ahead of the national average meeting the guidelines 83% of the time. For cataract surgery, the province is behind the national average meeting the timeliness guidelines just 65% of the time which is still well ahead of Newfoundland which meets the guideline just 43% of the time."

The reply of a 4 year old.

But then you also think its really smart policy to spend $230 million cancelling contracts that you decide you need a few years later.
They spent $230 million to save the province from spending $790 million for energy that wasn't needed.
The approach to building wind power now is much better.
The previous Liberal government did not get the approval of local communities and paid way too much.


More info here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toro...-green-energy-doug-ford-electricity-1.7297217


The requirement for companies to get municipal approval is just one key difference between the PC and Liberal governments' approaches to wind power. There's also a notable financial difference.

Under the Liberals' since-repealed Green Energy Act, the province issued contracts paying wind and solar producers lucrative premiums for generating electricity, justified at the time as a way to kick-start a nascent industry.

This time around, the bidding process is to be competitive, with the province looking to see how cheaply the power can be produced.

"While the Liberals paid up to eight times the going rate for wind projects that were imposed on unwilling communities, we are determined never to force families and seniors into energy poverty again," said Lecce's press secretary Isha Chaudhuri in an email.

Metrolinx quoted $20 million years ago, now the plans include buying property, 4 bridges and sound walls. How many of those are really part of the rail path costs? How much more expensive is this now that Tory's Fast track plan has squeezed the space that was available? Why is this under Metrolinx?

Its stupidly expensive.

Are you quoting an article written by someone who is sleeping with DoFo's team as evidence?

Do you really think health care in Ontario has gotten better under DoFo or worse?

It's not a race to see who can spend more. There is not an endless supply of money. And the money that is available, the Feds are transferring less to Ontario compared to other provinces.
DoFo spent $1 billion to beer in corner stores.
He's willing to spend, just not on health care.
