Doug Ford’s Government Isn’t Working For You.

Every Premier makes choices. Who gets the government's attention. Who gets the contract. Who gets the call returned.

Doug Ford's choices have a pattern: insiders, lobbyists, friends and donors. And every time he chooses them, he's choosing not to choose you.

That's the cost of his corruption. It's your hospital understaffed while billions flow to insiders. It's the cost of ground beef going up while well-connected developers turn protected land into an $8.3 billion windfall. A government so busy covering its tracks it never gets around to you.

It doesn't have to be this way. We can have a government that delivers better, faster public health care. That actually does something about the cost of groceries. That helps workers weather the storm and protects good jobs.

imagine all the shitty things those chubby sweaty fingers have texted over the years

Why does he think it would even impact his reelection? What in those texts would make him look any worse than he already does?

He's polling very well with 1/3 and the rest won't vote. Slam dunk.

Can we just fold the OLP already? Bonnie Crosby was a fucking joke and I’m not feeling any more optimistic for them.

At least Marit Stiles has a spine and seems competent.

I don’t like the NDP as a group, especially the federal NDP and Avi Lewis. But provincial NDP candidates have generally been the ones who actually give a fuck about their communities and we need that.

Blatent, plainly stated blackmail and corruption on a level we've never even anticipated

I'm from the U.S. it's funny how you can say "doug" and people know who you're talking about.

He’s one-of-a-kind, unfortunately.

Its impressive that Doug made Rob seem like the good one.
