"This may be the most corrupt government in the history of modern Canada." - John Ralston Saul
These clowns are either liars or aiming to have us believe wilful ignorance negates ministerial accountability.
“Both Mr. Ford and Mr. Clark say they were unaware of the way the lands were chosen.”
Nothing goes down in any cabinet member’s office in relation to party funders that escapes the view of those whose re-election hangs in the balance.
Are we really to believe one doofus funnelled billions from the public trust into the hands of crime lords and his bosses knew nothing?
@f800gecko @gemelliz the best case scenario here - the most generous interpretation of the facts - is that they’re both incompetent and negligent on what they call the single biggest issue in the province and the only possible solution to the housing crisis. That’s pretty difficult to believe. It seems a lot more likely they “kept their hands clean” knowing it was a corrupt process and Clark’s chief of staff can’t be fired for it or he would reveal their collusion.
@gemelliz @girls_can @f800gecko I will hazard a guess that not one single affordable housing unit will be built in the greenbelt. In so far as privatization of healthcare, it siphons off staffing from public healthcare where we already have severe labour shortages. Stumbling Bumbling Ford just doesn’t give a damn it would appear.
@torontofoodie folks like Ford only give a damn about how they’re going to make out on any given decision. Ford will never have to wait in line for services; never have his treatment delayed because of staffing shortages or denied because he can’t pay the ‘user fee’. Folks like Ford only give a adman about themselves.
And the folks that keep voting for folks like Ford are either too dense to understand this or count themselves among the folks like Ford.
@gemelliz @girls_can @f800gecko As a matter of fact he still hasn't retracted his statements on protecting the #greenbelt https://ontariopc.ca/ontario-pc-leader-doug-ford-promises-not-to-touch-the-greenbelt/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CI%20looked%20at%20it%20as,won't%20touch%20the%20greenbelt
I heard he’d deleted a tweet (or an eXcrement or whatever they’re called now). Interesting this is still floating about.
@f800gecko @gemelliz @girls_can I think it was Steve Clark who deleted the tweet.
@f800gecko @505fred @gemelliz was it this one about being steadfast in protecting the #Greenbelt ?
@girls_can @f800gecko @505fred @gemelliz
Well, now we know exactly what Conservatives mean what they say 'steadfast'. 🤪
@Perspective @girls_can @f800gecko @gemelliz
They mean until right after the next election
@gemelliz @girls_can @f800gecko Maybe Ford and the Cons didn't campaign on these issues, but it's not like there weren't warning signs from the previous administration. As soon as he was elected in 2018, the cons reduced social services, shut down watchdogs, cancelled a min wage increase, appointed buddies to cushy jobs, etc. By 2019 they were laying off health care workers. Why would anyone be surprised by the latest developments?
@girls_can @f800gecko
What did the Premier know and when did he know IT??
Did he know IT before the election??
Because #DougFord did NOT campaign on carving up our #greenbelt, or privatizing our healthcare, or leasing out our waterfront for 100yrs.
Not a peep.
Voters might have paid attention if he’d clarified that paving the greenbelt & ramming though ‘for-profit’ healthcare was part of the “IT” was in his nonsense slogan - “Get IT Done”
