So. The day after the Ontario election, Premier Ford shut down all the safe consumption sites for non-alcohol drug use. Now people are shooting up in the bank ATMs all across the province because it is too cold to do it outside. Thanks, non-voters.

I just saw a post on Reddit from someone upset that there were people using drugs at the Scotiabank
ATM at Somerset and Bronson.

The Somerset West Community Health Centre just closed its supervised consumption site on Friday, after being forced to by the Ford government.

Decisions have consequences.


#Canada - Sarah Bokhari is running for the PC’s in Hamilton Centre #Ontario

This does not matter to most of suburbia in #ottawa let alone be a factor in how people in #ontario view this fucking coward. Polls indicate a landslide for this pathetic excuse of a leader and his political party. Fuck it’s hard to have any awareness of the world and not feel like everyday is so heavy #election #onpoli #cdnpoli https://pressprogress.ca/emergencies-act-inquiry-points-blame-at-doug-fords-absence-during-ottawa-convoy-occupation/

"Canada is not a real country"


6% of eligible #Ontario voters cast early ballot over the recent three day advance voting period.
Because #DougFord called a "snap election," there were only 3 days of early voting, down from 10 in a regular election cycle.

By comparison, 9.92% voted early in 2022 over a ten day advance vote period.

Reminder you can vote at your local election office until Wed. Feb 26 at 6pm.
Election day is Thursday, February 27 (9am-9pm)
You DO NOT NEED a voter card to vote. Bring ID

“It’s not just that Ford thinks you’re stupid. He must also think you’re complacent. Because what are you going to do in the face of his government’s deadly failures? Vote for someone else? Well, that’s precisely what you should do. Because your life might depend on it.”

"To the liberals, STOP calling people NAzis.
99% of you have no idea the weight that word holds.
People died by the hands of the true NAzis. Its disgusting."

response:
"Historian here. They're Nazis."


Just the biggest fucks given by this city... We encountered 3 of these snow walls at 8:15 AM on 3 different sections of sidewalk. Rock hard snow left like this overnight. Snow clearing methods are archaic, ableist, and are predicated on making sure people driving can drive as fast as possible as soon as possible and fuck everyone else #ottawa #winter #ontario #onpoli
Kid climbs a snow wall on a semi-plowed sidewalk in Ottawa after a snow storm with a big road beside the snow that is fully cleared.


Here’s an #election position that should be put forward: if a candidate of any party, provincial or federal backs out of a debate, they no longer qualify to run in the riding. Conservatives in #ontario routinely do this and it’s fucking pathetic #onpoli #canada #cdnpoli


SHE'S NOT ONLY PIERRE POILIEVRE'S CHIEF ADVISOR....

👉Jenni Byrne was also PREMIER DOUG FORD'S principal secretary and a key architect of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives’ June/18 majority win and the mastermind behind former PM Stephen Harper's victorious 2011 campaign.

Reason #14 why #FordMustGo

One of Ford's earliest campaign promises was to "end hallway medicine". Despite numerous announcements of funding for hospitals and adding beds, the issue of overcrowded medical clinics and closed emergency wards has remained. Perhaps his war on public service employees, limiting salary increases for professionals on the COVID frontline, demonstrated just how much respect he has for healthcare workers.

Reason #13 why #FordMustGo

Many political watchers were surprised about how Singa Surma could appear out of nowhere to become Minister of Infrastructure. In less than a decade, she went from an assistant to a Toronto city councilor to overseeing the province's infrastructure and being in charge of the renovation of Ontario Place. It's the traditional story of who you know and not letting "unqualified" affect your career path.

Reason #12 why #FordMustGo

Ford can't understand that it's unethical to sell $150 tickets to lobbyists and developers for his daughter's Stag & Doe. He's confused why it's inappropriate for Tony Miele, Chair of the PC Ontario Fund, the fundraising arm of the Ontario PC Party, to be selling tickets. He doesn't understand boundaries or why he can't take personal advantage of his office.

Reason #11 why #FordMustGo

Ontario underspending on social services by $3.7B.

"It's shocking. He either doesn't understand the depth of the crisis or doesn't care." - MPP Monique Taylor, NDP critic for Children, Community and Social Services.

"Doug Ford government's utter failure to adequately fund social services across the province is a total disgrace." - Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner

Daily Reminder: Do what you can to stop another Ford majority government:
- Make sure you vote, either by mail or in person.
- Don't vote for any Conservative candidates.
- Post and boost any article criticizing Ford's management of Ontario (virtually unlimited material). Most voter's have short-term memories - don't let them forget about his poor decisions, moronic policies, and outright corruption. Highlight all of it, everyday, to demonstrate why he's unfit for office.

#ONpoli


Reason #10 why #FordMustGo

The quality of life in Ontario has been eroded since Ford continually cuts funding for social support programs. Homelessness has been increasing, and homeless encampments are common in every city in the province. Ford has committed to a tiny amount of funding that will come too late for this winter and take years to take effect. Once again, the most vulnerable are left behind.

Reason #8 why #FordMustGo

One of the qualities we should look for in a government leader is empathy. You can't make critical decisions on how to make lives better without understanding needs and desires. This is particularly true for those who are most vulnerable. Ford exhibits zero empathy, and his comments about a group home for autistic youth demonstrates that. He was more concerned about the impact on property values.

Reason #7 why #FordMustGo

Ford's test of leadership arrived Jan 22nd, 2022, when the Freedom Convoy occupied Ottawa. Initially, he was MIA because he was snowmobiling at his cottage. As the crisis continued, Ford and Sylvia Jones, solicitor general at the time, did not participate in the daily emergency calls with Ottawa officials. Ford and Jones also declined to provide testimony under oath at the inquiry.

Reason #6 why #FordMustGo

Since 2018, Ford has provided us with a chaotic government that is more likely to announce or implement something, only to reverse course within a few weeks or even hours. His policies aren't fully developed or researched before being released which results in rethinking or tinkering, or outright cancelation. It's almost as if he makes decisions with his gut, and ignores facts.

Reason #5 why #FordMustGo

When Ford says, "For the people," he has a different demographic in mind. Land developers who were offered prime chunks of the greenbelt, drug retailers inching their way into our Healthcare, mega spas gaining a 99 year lease on public waterfront parkland, grocery chains selling beer, and beer and wine manufacturers no longer under control of the LCBO. Remember, corporations are people too...

#OntarioElection2025 #ONpoli #Corruption

In the background stand 3 characters that are obviously corporate land developers, one of which has a caption above his head that reads, "The slogan always chokes me up".  In the bottom right corner there is an RCMP officer looking through a magnifying glass.


Reason #3 why #FordMustGo

Ford wants to reduce gridlock so his SUV can get to the Legislature quickly but fails to realize that means you have to eliminate cars, not make more room for them. We should be encouraging alternative transport options like walkable cities, bike lanes, ebikes, and subsidized excellent public transit. Instead, we get a moronic policy response that targets bike lanes.

#OntarioElection2025 ##ONpoli #LivableCities
A screenshot of a social media post with text:
Doug Ford:  We're ripping out bikes lanes.
Ontarians:  People will get hurt or killed.
Doug Ford: Emoji of shrugging shoulders.

Text over a picture of a goofy looking Doug Ford:
Ford government to ban lawsuits if cyclists are hurt or killed on streets where bike lanes are removed.


Reason #2 why #FordMustGo

Ford has missed every target set for housing while he has been premier. Their target of 1.5M homes by 2031 was considered low as it would not keep pace with population growth, and most industry experts expect them to miss by 50% or more. In 2023, they got innovative and started counting long-term care beds. In 2024, they considered switching to tallying permits versus actual building starts.

Reason #1 why #FordMustGo

If you looked back on media headlines during Ford's term as premier I suspect it would be staggering in terms of documenting his incompetence, lack of compassion, dumb statements, moronic decisions and serving private industry interests. Thankfully, there's a list.... and it's staggering...

Canadians, if you don't think that there are people in this country just drooling at the possibilities here, you are mistaken.

Doug Ford gave a man who did a nazi salute $100M for Starlink the day after Trump was elected, and refuses now to rescind it.

"On November 18, Ottawa Police illegally blocked a planned peaceful march, arrested six organizers that evening and imposed draconian bail conditions. This adds to a dangerous trend of over-policing the Palestinian solidarity movement under the pretext of hate crime enforcement..."

They use protection for 2SLGBTQIA+ folk as a smokescreen for persecuting Palestinian solidarity, but this is what they do instead.

Ontario didn’t inform the public about advice urging a shift away from natural gas

The Doug Ford government commissioned an independent report for up to $1.5 million to identify pathways to net-zero emissions. Now The Narwhal has learned what it said

…a family doctor for (over 2.5 million Ontarians are without primary care), one less person who can vote against them. It's dark but this is where we are.”

Mary-Margaret McMahon on the Ford kleptocracy.

She is definitely onto something.

The far right (which is the whole of the right these days) has decided if if can’t otherwise put its ‘cheap & convenient’ wasteful, graft-based way of life before all, the left must die.

Automobiles, land barons & and votes come first.
