Make him walk the entire length of the land he was trying to develop!

TemporaryBoyfriend,

I wonder what other scandal this is covering for… Normally they make big announcements only to distract from other malfeasance.

TemporaryBoyfriend,

And here’s why:

I told you it was a distraction…

Fhek,

Ford was the mistake.

SirFancypants,

"It was a mistake to establish a process that moved too fast,” Ford said.

Pretty tacit admission that he’ll try again. He’s just sorry he got caught.

It was a mistake to move fast enough for voters to notice, I should have boiled them slowly like a frog.

His "apology" did not rebuild shattered trust.
He's toast.

Slwh47696,

Daily reminder - fuck Doug Ford. He’s a corrupt, slimy, lying piece of shit. The only thing he cares about is him and his buddies getting richer.

As a first step to earn back your trust, I’ll dump the person I was cheating on you with and won’t bang them again in the future!

Remember the gas plant scandal?

It seems so quaint now in the face of Doug Ford’s open corruption.

Vote better, Ontario.

RudeOnTuesdays,

To build on this: show up to vote next time, Ontario.

I vote every time. I didn’t vote for Steve Clark.

Everyone needs to vote next time.

It really shouldn’t matter which representative you end up choosing to hire. While one might be better than another, they are all good enough. The key is to make sure you are constantly talking to them. They are most certainly not mind readers. Talk to them more if they are struggling to understand what you are trying to say.

Election day is the least significant day in democracy. Every day following the election is when your real work takes place.

Dearche,

You know, you say that, but the entire Toronto area voted against him. The entire region was solid red, yet somehow this clown got voted in, which was weirdly funny when I saw that the area around Thunder Bay voted against him as well. The part of Ontario I’m worried about is Ottawa, and how the entire city outside of the downtown core voted for him.

Honestly, when I saw the vote map after the last election, the results were scary as someone who was seriously against Ford. Don’t people keep seeing that most of his efforts keep concentrating in and around Toronto and flat out ignore all the people who voted for him? It’s like only Toronto and Norther Ontario’s noticed this about him.

Hate and right wing rhetoric is what usually drives rural Ontario to vote conservative … all you have to do to get people in small town Ontario to vote conservative is give them a boogie man, tell them all that the other party is corrupt, that they support cities and conservatives are for the little guy and call everyone ‘folks’ … then just have your millionaire supporters run round the clock advertising everywhere to drive home the message and voila, you’ve got government for four years … screw everyone for three years, then pay attention for a year and do it all over again.

NAFTA (and now USMCA) is what drove rural Ontario to vote Conservative. Same goes for the prairie provinces.

You can clearly see the shift from strong Liberal (more so in Ontario) and NDP (more so in the west) support to Conservative support exactly when NAFTA came into force. That is not a coincidence.

The enclaves these rural, predominantly agrarian, areas once enjoyed was destroyed by NAFTA, putting them head to head with American interests, which required a political shift to something American-like in order to survive.

Huh? Only Etobicoke North had the opportunity to vote for him – and elect him they did!

The entire region was solid red

What? 12 of the ridings in the City of Toronto proper were as blue as it comes. Nine of the ridings were orange. Only four showed red. And it is was a complete sea of blue if we extend out into the larger Toronto area.

You must be looking the results of the federal election. The colour red swept the City of Toronto federally, but that has absolutely nothing do with Ontario or Doug Ford. Completely different government.

Dearche,

Huh. I must have looked at an early map so Toronto looked different. It’s pretty sad to see so much blue on the final map after all the shit Ford did to us on his previous term.

My bad.

diocan,

The what??

Fiivemacs,

Ford was the mistake…

xc2215x,

Glad Doug understands now.
