So just so we’re clear: Ford called a snap election that cost taxpayers $189 million that won him an almost identical majority government, in order to create a “mandate to go toe to toe against Trump”.

Just want to be sure. Because he could have done just that exact same thing without costing us $189 million dollars since he already had the same government.

That fat dumb corrupt fuck is a fiscally irresponsible conservative cunt.

Shake my damned head. Shame on Ontario.

How many millions has he wasted with cancelled contracts and irresponsible decision making?

How many ~~millions~~ billions has he wasted with cancelled contracts and irresponsible decision making?

Billions. He has wasted billions, a magnitude larger. Just look that beer store fiasco and what its cost. Worst decision ever. Now just wait until he spends way more to buy back a conservative highway that was sold off for so much more than originally sold for.

Anyone that things a conservative has fiscal responsibility is delusional.>>>

I honestly think its a cheat in this election. He called an election to happen literally a few weeks after sending everyone $200 of tax payer money. Money that could have been used to support criminally underfunded institutions like Heath care (which people blame the feds for despite being fully within the provincial mandate)

Everyone is so concerned about healthcare and housing costs then they go and elect the guy that wants to privatize healthcare and demolish rent control and renters rights
