Slimy, greasy strategy by a slimy, greasy politician. But are we really that surprised? From the moment this chump entered the political ring, didn’t we foresee stuff like this?

This guy on the basis of being the β€˜anti-Wynne’…and to a large extent…

…it was successful. There was lots of talk about gravy trains and ending the party with tax payer money. But you’d have be pretty naive and / or willfully ignorant to not see the cronyism and the grift.

Hwy 413 is a prime example. Look who stands to benefit.

2/
Ford buddies Ron Taverner and Dean French…more examples of the grift. And the list goes on.
- Katherine Pal
- Taylor Shields
- Tyler Albrecht
- Gavin Tighe
- Cam Montgomery
- Jenni Byrne
- Ian Todd
- Rueben Devlin
- Charles McVety
….to name but a few.

In order to hide it all, Ford lays on the populist schtick. He ate the fries and the chips; he made the cheesecake; he drove the pickup…all in an effort to look just like you and me.

4/
But it’s a thin facade. Underneath it all, we find things like:
- gas pump stickers
- dysfunctional licence plates
- funding for horse racing
- Greenbelt development
- the misogyny against Horwath
- blocking a bill against Islamophobia

5/
- the dumpster fire that is the Education ministry
- invoking the notwithstanding clause
- the LTC homes disaster
…not to mention the complete hatchet job of Ontario’s COVID response in general.

6/
So when see Doug Ford raising funds by sending out invoices to unsuspecting citizens…should we really be that surprised. We’re three years deep…the slimy stench isn’t new. The invoices are just the latest addition.

Let’s do ourselves a favour.

A dental thread.

My parents are elderly.
They’re on a fixed income…with a very limited budget. They do their best to live very modestly.

Like many elderly people, their dental health has deteriorated.

They’ve both lost a lot of teeth and have resorted to using dentures. For now, they’re getting by with partials.

But as their dental health continues to deteriorate, the costs are mounting, and tough decisions need to be made.

My dad was at a point where he couldn’t chew food properly. The food he could eat became more and more limited and he started losing weight.

My mom is in the same boat, but not quite as bad.

I try and avoid cheap, tawdry comparisons between modern politics and Hitler’s Nazism, Stalin’s Communism, and Mussolini’s Fascism.

But in this case, ya gotta call a spade a spade.

#cdnpoli
Comms Director for the CPC @SarahFischer__ has gone beyond blatant #propaganda / #disinformation.

She now sees fit to use language like β€œliquidation of a people” in order to describe the new Canadian #passport.

Think about this.

2/

#cdnpoli
β€œLiquidation of a people”.

Unless you’re talking about bargain bin shopping, what does the word β€œliquidation” conjure?

If you’re even a casual student of history, it’s eerily reminiscent of the Nazi #liquidation of the Jewish ghettos during WWII.

A thread…

This video has been making the rounds on Twitter.

This is @MichaelFordTO - Minister of Multiculturalism and nephew of @fordnation…highlighting the 900 people of Indian heritage that currently live in Ontario.

#onpoli

1/
900. Nine. Zero. Zero.
In Ontario.

A quick google search indicates over 750,000 people of Indian heritage in the province. It took about 30 secs to find that info.

One would think the Minister of Multiculturalism would have access to the same info I have.

#onpoli

2/
All jokes aside…this is emblematic of the @fordnation govt in so many ways.

We see a minister who is woefully unqualified put in a position simply because of who he’s related to…ineptitude rewarded by nepotism…classic Doug Ford.

Yet this is just the veneer.

A Sunday Morning Doug Ford 🧡

It starts with simple questions:

WTF?
How is Doug Ford still a thing?
How is he polling in the high 30s?
Do people not see the in-your-face corruption?

How is anyone in this province even remotely enamoured…

1/
…with a barely educated, barely literate, former strip mall hash dealer with a penchant for folksy populism, and blatant grift?

The man got elected on a platform of simply not being #KathleenWynne. And sadly, enough people in this province hated the thought…

2/
…of being governed by a lesbian woman that they bought into it.

Remember when the most memorable plank in that platform was β€˜Buck-a-Beer’?

But supporters will point to windmills and spending as excuses for why Ford trumps Wynne (see what I did there?) .

And yet…
