A broken voting system, plus weaponized apathy. He got 66+% of the seats in Ontario’s Parliament with 17% of eligible voters choosing their local conservative candidate.

Published polls for MONTHS before the election showed he was going to win by a landslide – so people stayed home, thinking it was pointless. They’re doing it in the USA right now with slanted polls showing it’s a toss-up, even though exit polls show that the majority of early voters are women.

Ha. I’m going to take a bunch of edibles and listen to music on my old school iPod and sleep 12+ hours.

The best part is that most people can’t absorb a $160k judgement, and the landlord would likely have to sell the home they were renting. The person who was evicted should be first in line to be able to buy the prior home.

Uh, first, Doug Ford was never mayor. It was his shithead junkie brother.

Second, Ontario can order Toronto to remove them, but Toronto can refuse or take them to court. I doubt the MTO is going to send a crew into downtown Toronto – it’s not their turf.

Third, if Ontario contracts a third party to do the work, they’d be setting themselves up for getting named in a lawsuit.

This whole thing is a clusterfuck, and Thuggie needs to get a new hobby.

If Article 5 is invoked, Russia ceases to exist overnight.

The evening of the first day Russia fucks up, the US demonstrates why Americans don’t have healthcare. It swoops in with a couple dozen stealth fighters, eliminates air-defence, decapitates the entire chain of command, then levels every military and military-adjacent structure from west to east and east to west and south to north at the same time. I sincerely doubt a single American life would be lost.

By morning, there’s nothing of consequence left, and regular NATO fighters have control of the skies, taking out leftover smaller targets and industrial infrastructure… and that’s it, game over.

My lunatic anti-vax, anti-pharma, anti-government mother in Grande Prairie will eat this shit up.

Let’s not forget that his shithead junkie brother cancelled MOST of Transit City – a plan developed & designed for maximum impact for the least expense… Costing the city of Toronto nearly $100M in wasted work and cancellation penalties (which massively benefitted developers).

He fought like hell for the city to build subways rather than surface rail on a separated grade from cars, which is far cheaper, and nearly as effective as subways when approaching streetcars get priority from traffic lights.

I also don’t understand why the mint doesn’t have any for sale – but you can apparently get them at Costco.

Just have to get more than 41% of people to show up to vote for a provincial election.

Mike Harris’ wife says “Thank You”.

If you want to look up why sociopaths are so desperate to get into political offices, just look at the example of griftmeister Mike Harris.

The best response in these cases is no response.

The second best response (if you can’t resist the urge) is to say no, but not to say why. Don’t help them tune their messaging to get a couple percent more votes – in the Canadian electoral systems, even just a couple thousand voters makes the difference between winning and losing.

Yeah, I see no problem putting #SpaceKaren in charge of our telecommunications.

Oh. Wait. He turns off Starlink to entire countries when he feels like it, and tells entire countries to fuck off when they ask for reasonable limits on accounts of bad actors. There’s also a very odd connection to Russia… a lot of this exceedingly bizarre behaviour started after having met with Putin a couple years back.

Relying on this increasinly unreliable idiot for anything is a bad idea.

Burning debris in the upper atmosphere has unknown effets on the environment,

Man, just wait until you find out about naturally occurring meteors… They’re loaded with metal and are vaporized in the upper atmosphere 24x7x365… and have been doing so for pretty much all of the 4 billion years the planet has been around.

Sorry, how much is PP’s net worth? Working a government job? And having earned his pension in his 30’s?

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Let them say with a straight face that they’re not using ClearView AI (or something similar) to identify protesters who aren’t committing any crimes, then I might have an ounce of sympathy.

The hypocrisy is what gets me… Yeah, axe the tax… But let the forests keep burning, the rain keep flooding, the heat keep broiling people and droughts starving us…

It’s not rocket surgery… Make the thing that is bad for us more expensive, and use that money to make things that are good for us LESS expensive. I still don’t know why there isn’t a tax on gasoline and diesel and natural gas that doesn’t DIRECTLY fund public transit…

Just wait until you find out his brother wrote a one-page memo on mayoral letterhead, cancelling a transit project that had been years in the making, and with the stroke of a pen costing the city nearly $100 million dollars in wasted effort and cancellation penalties. Oh, and the beneficiaries are the same construction-and-development types that Drug Fraud is courting with changing zoning laws and paving over agricultural land for an expressway that nobody asked for.

Trudeau underestimates how many people will vote against their own best interests because of a grudge.

And when their social services are cut, and they’re made homeless, or sick / dead / disabled because they couldn’t get the healthcare they needed, they’ll still find a way to blame anyone other than the people responsible for extending their misery.

Yeah, Ford wants Singh to know that, in no uncertain terms, he should be grifting his way to a fabulously wealthy retirement by lending political favours to developers and private healthcare companies, just like Mike Harris did.

So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold

It’s a crown corp. “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.” is the order of the day.
