MODERATORS
Everything he had done since coming to power has been corrupt. He's gotten to the, fuck you corrupt stage.
Doug is responsible for the Greenbelt issue.
For a guy who's likely struggled with π ±οΈelts since the day they were invented, I'm a little surprised he took the bait in the first place. I guess pork beats chocklit milk at this point for him. Oh, all that sweet sweet taxpayer funded chocolate milk he would have bathed in :/
Edit: his "documented" addiction is more absurd and less lovable than his π ±οΈros
Wasn't he the cocaine guy from a few years ago?
No, that's his brother. This is the hash dealer.
Well, it was crack, but ~~yes. He went from being a mayor to a premier.~~ And people are shocked that the corrupt asshole is acting all corrput.
Edit: It was his brother, as the commentor below points out. But Dougie was known to be shitty before he was premier.
No, that was his brother. Rob Ford was mayor of Toronto and died a few years back.
Doug Ford is his brother who used Rob's popularity and name to propel himself to premiership.
My mistake. Thank you for the correction. Still a corrupt shitbag though.
He won with less than 23% voter turnout, the lowest turnout in Ontario's entire history.
I thought it was weed. Please, elaborate/cite so I can add this to my routine
Rob Ford was mayor of Toronto, and he was filmed on video smoking crack.
He was an extremely conservative mayor who axed a lot of social programs and privatized things like garbage collection.
Still my fave mayor of all time /s
Edit: I lied! Its Mayor Adam West ;)
Nobody messes with Adam We.
I will say the casting was amazing for Adam West and I also deeply appreciate the performance and casting of his spiritual successor, Sam Elliott as Mayor West II
They seriously privatized that? Fuck. Is it a disaster or did it actually "work out", what's the verdict?
Just wait until you hear about what his brother wants to do. Privatize healthcare. And conservatives are jumping for joy about it.
Kinda weird that conservatives bitch non stop about a few bucks in taxes, but think paying $15,000 out of pocket for an x-ray is the way.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Premier Doug Ford has long insisted that he and his office was not involved in picking which Greenbelt and rural properties to approve for housing development, but there's growing evidence calling that claim into question.
The narrative from Ford and his officials since early August has been that all blame for both the Greenbelt debacle and the government's moves to force cities to sprawl lies with the former housing minister Steve Clark and his top political staffer.
Ford also denied he was involved in any changes the government imposed on municipalities that boosted the value of rural properties and said he can't remember meeting a developer about approving his Greenbelt land for housing.
They detail the inside story of the government's moves in the fall of 2022 to approve housing development on certain properties in the Greenbelt and to force changes in the official plans of Hamilton and Ottawa as well as Peel, York and Halton regions.
Many of the documents consist of emails between political staff and non-partisan bureaucrats on selecting properties for removal from the Greenbelt or expanding city boundaries to open up more rural land for development.
Despite that U-turn, an RCMP unit that specializes in political cases of corruption and breach of trusts has launched a criminal investigation into the original plan to open up Greenbelt land for development.
The original article contains 1,095 words, the summary contains 223 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
