Ontarians: Don’t let any talking point or any physical threat keep you away from the polls this time. His win is not inevitable. Please, show up and TRY to vote Ford out.
I want to get behind his Captain Canada act as much as the next person, but the media coverage has been absolutely maddening! DoFo is always patriotic when he's campaigning.
We know calling a snap election in the middle of this absolute chaos is bullshit. Mr MZO, Notwithstanding Clause, omnibus bills, continually counter-suing any court decision in our favour, who took away education workers' right to strike just to show they could, made rent control a mystical thing of the past and on and on. This twit wants a Stronger Mandate? To do what, exactly?
...
"God bless the President and don’t get me wrong. Full disclosure: I’m a big Republican.” - literally DoFo
“Donald Trump’s a business man. He’s a very successful business man. I think he’s a marketing genius. They needed change down in the US. Obama has been an absolute disaster in my opinion in the US. I run a business, the healthcare costs are going through the roof for not only the businesses, but the people.” - DoFo
“I would love to see Canada be the 51st state. The Canadian citizens, [...] They’d have much better health coverage. I think the people of Canada would like it.” - Trump, Jan 24
I'm not hearing anything from the NDP, and I'm getting a lot of ads from the Liberals about how Doug Ford is bad, not nothing about why I should vote for them.
This is just going to be a repeat unless they change their strategies.
Unfortunately, that's all political ads these days. "The other side is bad...." with nothing about how the people can be better served by the party behind the ad.
