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.

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.

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.

3/

The cesspool underneath that veneer is as expansive as Doug’s pants.

Currently, Ford is so obsessed with underpaying #nurses and #onted that he’s spending YOUR tax dollars to fuck them over in court, rather than paying them a fair wage.

Consider @fordnation’s gutting of #OntarioHealthcare and #Education…the extraction of millions from those two ministries.

Consider the #GrossNegligence of the province’s #LTCHomes…to the point where the government is being sued by residents.

#ONhealth #onted

Consider @fordnation’s figurative rape of Ontario’s #Greenbelt - an initiative designed to line pockets of #CronyDevelopers under the guise of affordable housing.

Consider how #Hwy413 will further line the pockets of those same developers.

6/

Consider the mistreatment of #CUPE workers…a workforce where women are the majority…to understand the #misogyny of @fordnation. Then ask yourself if the province’s police forces - male dominated - have been similarly treated.

7/

Consider this govt’s hatchet job on #BasicIncome, #ODSB, #AutismSupportPrograms, and #YouthMentalHealth.

Consider @fordnation’s cozy relationship with #GalenWeston and the tacit support for #profiteering and #PriceGouging.

8/

Also consider how these cozy relationships are designed to undermine our sacred #SocialSafetyNet, and steer us towards #Privatization.

9/

And never mind the gaffes.
#LicensePlates
#LCBO
#BuckABeer
#Brivana
#HorseRacing
#RonTaverner
#DeanFrench
…to name a few.

10/

In short…as the saying goes…if you can’t see the destruction of the province…you’re not paying attention.

And if we don’t stand up and do something…WE ARE FUCKED…at the hands of @fordnation.

Let’s do something.
Before it’s too late.

Thx for reading.
