DoFo has cut health care and announced he'll cut $21 billion more, he's cut education as well.
But he's contrasted that by cutting revenue even more, corporate taxes, license plates, LCBO, so ends up with way bigger debts than Wynne for way less of what Ontario needs.

His main interest has been in giving away Ontario assets to donors.
Greenbelt
Ontario Place
Science Centre
LCBO
You're so full of shit. Ford hasn't cut a single penny from the government's budget. Every year is more than the last.

Sure he has, but you're ignoring where he's spending the money and where he's cutting revenue.
Revenue - license plates
- LCBO
- corporate taxes

spending is up here
- $1 billion on beer in corner stores
- privatized health care
- agency nurses instead of Ontario hired
- Science Centre
- Ontario Place
- Metrolinx shoddy projects
- Bill 124 settlement
- cancelling renewable contracts

None of those increases add to services.

Then add the cuts.
- forest firefighting
- flood management
- $21 billion in health care
- education

Adam Zivo: Supervised injection sites fuel crime unless accompanied by massive police presence
The increase in violent crime and public disorder that follows supervised consumption sites must be tamed

Thanks for admitting you were wrong in claiming they provide free drugs.

Now you quote an op/ed? I can write one too about my experiences on how the safe injection site in my neighbourhood has reduced issues for the rest of the neighbourhood.

I found Ford's quote comparing injection sites to handing gambling addicts casino chips amusing. Considering they sites don't hand drugs to users, the comparison is how bad it is that the province builds casinos where problem gamblers can easily go. I don't know if the guy who wanted a casino at Ontario place and wants alcohol in corner stores is really opposed to abetting addictive behaviours.

Um, addicts and crime were extremely common there long before the injection sites.

But again, thanks for admitting you were wrong when you claimed the sites were giving away free drugs.

Safe injection site only safe for drug dealers
It is effectively a no-go zone for cops and the lack of a police presence allows the illegal drug trade to flourish unchecked
