It’s pretty obvious by now what the chain of events led to what’s going on right now in Ontario:
You don’t need to be a savvy political insider or study civics, you just have ti mind map it all out, which is pretty damn easy to do because nothing Doug Ford is complicated.
/1
In 2018, Patrick Brown had a faux scandal launched his way by people wanting to dispose of him & install Doug Ford as PC leader.
The timing of it was so obvious, so was the trumped-up scandal.
Brown was never charged or found guilty with anything but the damage was done
/2
Doug Ford, who then became the front runner as PC leader, immediately started making deals with nefarious types who’d profit from Ford’s decisions but also made sure Ford got protected along the way.
The moment Ford said he wouldn’t touch the Greenbelt started everything.
/3
It signaled to all those who helped him to start preparing to buy up land in areas he’d make sure were left unprotected and vulnerable.
Of course Ford never wanted to protect the Greenbelt, just another lie, but his donors/backers knew differently.
/4
Funny how Ford never talked about the urgency of housing when he was a city councilor in Toronto and how a hosing “shortage” just popped up too.
Ford has also dismissed Airbnb numerous times as being a reason why affordable housing is hard to find in Toronto as well.
/5
Ford’s “1.5 million homes by 2035” (it originally was 1.2 million homes by 2032) is not only unrealistic but, of course, is ridiculously misleading too.
None built on/near the Greenbelt will be “affordable” housing and the 1.5 millions homes is for ONTARIO, not the GTA.
/6
We all know how f*cking huge Ontario is… 1.5 million homes spread out is a drop in the proverbial bucket… 1.5 million homes in the GTA isn’t.
Ford stresses about immigration too… this ISN’T who’s going to be buying new homes. Again, new people to Ontario can be spread out
/7
Let’s go back to the Greenbelt:
Ford owes a LOT of favours to people… a LOT.
He’s getting angry now, he’s stressed out, he’s spiraling in his behaviour, because he knows he promised the Greenbelt to people and they’ve already bought it.
But yet he is still going forward.
/8
Ford is caught in a place now where he owes people favours & he knows the price to pay if he doesn’t deliver.
Do I think he’ll end up in cement shoes in Lake Ontario. No, but I think the people who got him in as Premier know a shiteload of things on him to get him arrested.
/9
Ford is much like Trump… he sold out to the highest bidder(s). He’s not as reckless but he’s also left a trail of clues, discovery & paper which can be traced back to him.
Why do you think he’s had NDAs done up & pushed legislation through to avoid having evidence surface?
/10
This past week, the heat is on Ford and the MSM is finally holding his feet to the fire. There’s more than smoke here… it’s a full inferno now.
He’s unraveling fast, he knows how bad this looks but, more importantly, he knows multiple journalists are working on this story.
/11
He knows people are digging, talking, having private interviews & getting all the dirt. It’s not just the wagons circling in, he’s trapped now that the OPP have stepped aside.
Ford will try his only trick that’s helped him in the past: He’ll try to talk his way out of this.
/12
The more he talks, the more questions he’ll be asked & the more he’ll slip up. Like Trump, when he sticks to a script he’s fine, when he deviates from it, he’s f*cked.
Ford knows his days are numbered, it’s only a matter of time when the investigative stories come out.
/13
All of this was pre-planned before Ford was PC leader and they won a majority in 2018… except getting caught with the Greenbelt.
I’m sure Ford and his donors thought this would all just slip right by Ontario taxpayers and no one would care… because he promised, right?
/14
Which leads us to today… Ford is sweating it now and he should be. Whatever he owes to people, that’s on him, he wrote a LOT of cheques he thought could be cashed in by donors because, hey, he’s a Ford!
Now it’s all crumbling down and he’s scared shiteless… perfect.
/15
Please support legit MSM too, if only to lend your voice through SM.
Trust me, journalists will need your help because they’ll be threatened and pursued by thugs/mob types but they’re also on to exposing everything now with Ford and this is going to be fun to watch.
-The End

It's Summertime & that means lots of home renos going on, especially outside.
After seeing a LOT of new fences going up, I'd like to do a quick PSA regarding them for anyone who's looking to get a new fence put up in the future.
Please let me do a thread before responding.
/1
My opinions are my own after doing a lot of fences, decks, outdoor living spaces etc. It's based on my own experiences combined with tried and tested techniques and with some great guidance and teaching along the way.
My advice isn't gospel, just some sound advice for you.
/2
So if you're looking to get a fence done and you've narrowed it down to it being constructed from wood (prefab vinyl or composite not included here), then let's start at the very beginning.
Get at LEAST 3 references from quality contractors - this is absolutely vital & key.
/3
As promised, here's a reply to the whole debacle regarding the possible election interference in the 2019 & 2021 Canadian elections and the issues of impartiality and conflict of interest, particularly directed at David Johnston.
Please wait for thread to finish before replying.
First things first, I am not a lawyer & anything I say isn't legal advice nor is it reflective of my countless hours of watching both Judge Judy & Law & Order (the original).
So whatever I say, it's not coming from someone who finally passed the bar after 3 attempts.
/2
Lots of talk surrounding why David Johnston needs to or should recuse himself regarding heading up an inquiry/investigation into the possible election interference. Most of it comes from Conservative & PPC supporters.
I'm going to break it down why he doesn't need to resign.
/3
People claiming "David Johnston has a conflict of interest with Justin Trudeau regarding the election tampering/interference by China" should really understand what "conflict of interest" really entails, especially in the legal sense and in the political world.
/1
A conflict of interest is in reference to ethical problems which may arise between parties with a preexisting relationship. Both parties have an obligation to disclose the nature of the relationship as well as any conduct from the past which would pose a threat to integrity.
/2
For example, being a family friend of someone, like Johnston is to the Trudeau family, is one thing. Being on a board of directors is another (which Johnston was with the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation), especially if an individual was on the receiving end of compensation.
/3
For months now, I've been reading/seeing so much material about how Doug Ford and this Ontario government wants to build 1.2 million homes in the next 9 years.
Being a Scorpio (who'll call someone out on their crap if it even sounds 1% fishy), I'm diving into this full blast.
We don't have a "housing crisis" here in Ontario, but we absolutely have an epidemic of greed. It's only gotten worse since 2018. You can argue with me on this but can you honestly say you'd ever see the day when $2500/m possibly got you a decent one-bedroom apartment?
/2
The Ford government would like you to think that building a staggeringly high, yet virtually impossible, goal of 1.2 million new homes in the next nine years will help solve Ontario's lack of "affordable" housing.
