A #ClusterFord Compilation of the Convoy-friendly Perjurer of Queen's Park:

Dean French, Doug Ford's original chief of staff forced to resign on charges of political cronyism and patronage after only one year on the job, emerges as Ford's behind-the-scenes messenger on.../2
..behalf of the Mad Max/Duck Dynasty convoy in meetings with federal government and City of Ottawa officials held to end the nightmare;

French hypes the over-aggressive squatters as "big-rig, blue-collar, big-hearted Canadians, men and women of conviction." But most see his.../3
..presence as proof that the premier was hands on during the occupation.

Nevertheless, French makes the laughable contention on Feb 17 (post EA) that he attended on behalf of 80-year-old long-retired former Con premier Brian Peckford.../4
..of Newfoundland;

More likely, French was Ford's proxy, tying them both to groups advocating mass citizens’ arrests and a government overthrow, who mocked Trudeau as the illegitimate son of the late Castro of Cuba while professing loyalty to an absurd QAnon../5
...Queen of Canada, Romana Didulo, a comic-book sovereign pretender. But Ford and Co. wouldn't coordinate with the Liberals to help settle the capital occupation;

Ford is unconscionably and stupidly absent from 3 tripartite meetings held beginning Day 11 of the occupation.../6
...failing to even send his attorney general;

Snowmobiling Ford goes incommunicado for 5 days while the domestic and US-funded Jethro convoy of anti-Trudeau, anti-mandate anarchists barrelled through Ontario beginning Jan 26, 2022, sideswiping Toronto before hightailing it.../7
...to Ottawa, promptly turning 20 blocks of the capital's downtown core and Parliament Hill into a dystopian truck-stop on Jan 29;

The Konvoy runs amok in Ottawa, bringing 24/7 diesel fumes, honking horns and images of children being used as shields against police actions; /8
Nonetheless, Ford emerges Jan 31 and comes out for both anti-vax trucker/thugs and vaccines, unwilling to halt an occupation that only 14% of Canadians "strongly supported" according to a contemporaneous Abacus poll; /9
Amid rumblings downtown Toronto would experience a trucker uprising, Ford was upbeat as he abandoned downtown Ottawa residents to bullying, harassment, anti-Semitism, misogyny and homophobia in their own neighbourhoods. Proclaimed the premier about the white replacement.../10
..replacement paranoics roaming the streets: "I just hope it's always a peaceful protest. If people want to come down and protest, God bless them."

Feb 8, Ford turns down City of Ottawa request for an emergency declaration over trucker occupation, then into its 11th day.../11
..as the negligent, complicit premier absconds from his duty of care to Ottawa residents, embracing instead the CPC strategy of ensnaring the PM in the uprising; the slow-playing Ford later acts on Feb 11 with little fanfare, hesitant to offend his shrill base of Covidiots; /12
As combined police forces arrest and remove the capital occupation following Trudeau's Feb 14, 2022 Emergencies Act passage, (police towed more than 70 vehicles and popped 191 people on 389 charges) Ford spins an alternate reality Feb 19: "I’ve worked on a plan for weeks and../13
"..was hours away from ending this protest, but the federal government jumped ahead of my team."

Ford promised to send 1,500 OPP to help disperse the occupiers, but ultimately dispatches only 100, contended Ottawa cops Feb 7, with the Duck Dynasty convention then into Day 9; /14
Asked in a Feb 18 presser about his inaction on the capital occupation, Ford, who unilaterally cut Toronto council in half in the middle of the city's 2018 election campaign, contended without irony in a rich, condescending and plainly false statement that he's not one .../15
..for "barging into another jurisdiction."

Ford's 3 appointees to the Ottawa Police Board were forced to resign over their support for the first capital occupation. Not only were some Ottawa police and OPP propping up or actively prolonging the trucker nightmare, one../16
..of the on-the-ground occupiers was a Ford-friendly member of the Ottawa police board confusing ignorance with patriotism;

The Ontario Liberals accuse Ford of allegiance to the outlaw truckers over his refusal to enforce his own Ontario Emergency Management and Civil.../17
...Protection Act provisions against owners of vehicles seized in the Ottawa occupation and the Windsor blockade;

The 39 convoy transports impounded pending payment of up to $100,000 each in fines have been reportedly returned to owners without penalty; /18
The communications chief for Ford's Solicitor General, the minister responsible for police services, contributed financially to the occupation convoy.

The toadying Ford, making himself available for a phone call from notorious radical RW hate group "Canada First", curries../19
..favour with the anarchists by leaking news to its leadership about the imminent end of Covid mandates – well before issuing a March 2022 statement to the general public. In a telling postscript, crackpot Kingston MPP Randy Hillier is barred from communicating with Doug's.../20

Not even the threshold of 14,000 C19 Ontario deaths surpassed on Sept 1, 2022 could stir the media, interest the denizens of Ford Nation or distract its perverse, bullheaded leader who, channelling his inner Trump, remains completely unwavering in his drive to turn the .../2
