Absolutely, but Ford tries to get around this by blaming other jurisdictions for problems that he could and should be looking to solve… Most Ontarians are idiots, that’s the problem.
When Doug Ford Comments About the Poor State of the City and Province, Isn’t He Just Telling Canadians He’s A Failure?
Ford’s been around since June 2018. If he hasn’t been able to “fix” recitivism in 7 years, to the point that he’s telling Ontarians that it has got to suck when people break into their homes and point guns at their heads, isn’t he literally saying:
“Hey I’ve failed you Ontarians, but if you give me yet another chance, I’ll make sure everything is all good?”
How much longer than the rest of the country did instituting $10 daycare take? A few years? The LRT in Toronto has been going on for his entire time as premier and it’s still not open. He’s closed down CAMH’s and the correlative response has been a visual increase in addicts and homelessness (yes homelessness is more than just housing shortages),
Speaking of, his gvmt, by its own numbers is falling 13% short on new housing goals. It’s such a serious problem because it’s compounding. Nobody is talking about how those numbers will be impossible to make-up for moving forward. He’s putting Ontario in a housing crisis it will legitimately be unable to lift itself out of for the foreseeable future. Whatever you think the reason is for homeless encampments, they’ve ballooned in size all over Ontario in just the last 4 years and the response hasn’t been to create a form of housing for these people. It’s been to beat them up and shift them from city corner to corner to town or put them in more temporary shelters which have also been shutting down due to provincial funding restrictions.
Banks keep funding giant condos that only a very few can afford, and legitimately nobody wants to buy because they aren’t good investments anymore with the changes to international student and immigration policies. He’s outsourced 10s of billions of dollars to American contracts, that could have been allocated towards growing and supporting those industries in Ontario. He does it to keep personal friendships through his deals with taxpayer money.
Metrolinx is a Crown Agency bc of Ford and Kathleen. They feel so removed from responsibility to the Ontario taxpayer, that they refuse to be transparent about an exact opening date for the LRT. The whole idea was that using it’d be cheaper for the gvmt via seeking bids from private contractors for public works through Metrolinx vs utilizing public funded contractors. Costs have ballooned to the tune of over 4 and half BILLION dollars on a project that Ontarians can’t even get a projection for. He basically took the control out of the hands of the buyers and made them the piggy-bank instead of a city full of people who paid for something they have yet to receive 14 years down the road.
The Greenbelt…..not to mention the greenbelt. A longitudinally orchestrated disaster eventually footed by the Ontario Taxpayer that was planned by Ford and scummy developer families. The deals were never disclosed, but the auditor found that those developers stood to gain in 8 billion dollars of profit and that the processing for picking who could build there was flawed and biased. The housing minister took the fall for that one…
Looking at what electing people with these kinds of outter-field ideologies have wrought in the US….is this really something Ontarians want to see play out at home? Is it not enough that everyone has to deal with weakness across the border, but they really want to further the experiment in Canada/Ontario too?
