Confused by how Ford's words don't line up with his actions?

It shouldn't be up to Ontarians to read between the lines. You deserve a transparent government whose words turn to action.

Until then, the Doug Ford Language school is here to help.
Ford-ism: I'll give it everything I've got.

English: I'll find someone to blame instead of take action.
Ford-ism: I'll be on landlords evicting tenants like an 800lb gorilla.

English: I'll make it easier for landlords to evict tenants while also refusing to provide rent relief.

A timeline of Merrilee Fullerton, Doug Ford’s Minister of Long-Term Care, downplaying how many seniors are getting sick and dying in long-term care, playing a callous numbers game to avoid having to spend money to hire staff and implement infection control measures. 1/6
On Sept. 22, there were 58 resident cases:
“Ninety-nine per cent of our long-term-care homes have no resident cases.” - Merrilee Fullerton 2/6

Premier Doug Ford and Health Minister Christine Elliott lied when they said their decision to cancel many public health protections was based on expert advice.

A TIMELINE OF LIES brought to you by Doug Ford's Conservative government:

Doug Ford, Nov. 4: “Everyone had their input on it. I think they did an extremely good job.”

Today, the courts ruled against Doug Ford’s cut to OHIP coverage for Ontarians when they’re travelling.
This makes SEVEN court battles lost by Doug Ford and his PC govt, wasting precious public dollars defending his cutting agenda. #onpoli

Here's a list:

There’s a lot to unpack here, first of all, the ‘free market’ would not have the business opportunity to operate COVID-19 tests at a high price if the gov’t was on top of testing – but they’re leaving people behind.
Everyday Ontarians are waiting hours in line to get their COVID-19 test. While the gov’t has been saying for months that “they’re hammering away at testing” but experts disagree: ontariondp.ca/news/fact-chec…
If testing was as easy and accessible as it should be with a public health system, there would not be a market for $400 testing kits for those that can afford it. Demand the gov’t invest in testing now: ontariondp.ca/demand-covid-1…
