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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...
