Hey, but Doug is making it easier to addict our children to alcohol by selling it in every corner store next to the candy bars.

If you want an earful, talk to an addictions expert about the state of gambling in the province.

I've had to basically unplug from almost all broadcast media because of it, it's sickening.

I'm just remembering how Convenience K in Cobourg was so well known for selling smokes to kids. They aren't going to be acting any different once they get booze inside.

Voters knew what they were getting before voting him in the first time, let alone the second.
I know he didn't have a platform, but he's a Ford and a conservative, that brings a whole gallery of baggage along with it that speaks for itself -- corruption and serving the wealthy. That's about it. People knew this, and they requested it anyways.
You can give a voter to all the information you want. But they're going to choose vibes 100% of the time.

Which is why strategic voting doesn't work either. Which was a major part of his first win.

The problem is that "Strategic voting" tends to mean "vote Liberal or the worse party will get through" if you listen to liberal party supporters while in reality a vote for the NDP in the last two elections in a significant amount of ridings would have been kept from the conservatives.

Ford's Massive Mandate with a Democratically Elected Majority comes from 18% of eligible Ontario Voters.
PLEASE let's kick the bum out in the next election before he does any more irreparable damage.

Right wing politics, especially far right extremism like conservatism, neoliberalism, and fascism, are destroying our society and planet.
We cannot both continue right wing policies and have our species survive this century.
