      Except on election day. Where where these people when they could have stopped him?

        That’s the one day people support him

        Toronto will vote for anyone with the last name Ford

        And Ontario for some reason always votes for the Con/Lib based on which isn’t in power Federally

          Half the reason we are in this mess is Toronto was too smart to elect Doug mayor and now instead the whole province gets to deal with him. He also gets to get revenge on Toronto by demolishing bike lanes.

            They elected his brother because the opponent was gay

            He took road money from Northern Ontario to pay for the 401 expansion in Toronto

            There’s a reason people outside Toronto call him Premier of Toronto

              Didn’t doug run after his brother? I’m not 100% familiar with Torontos political history i just remember something about doug not winning mayor of Toronto.

                He did but it wasn’t really a campaign, he only just met the deadline after Rob dropped out due to health

                The next run he gave up on it before the vote to be provincial PC leader

        Because he doesn’t campaign on policy, and most people couldn’t really tell you his policies other than “cheap beer, open for business, Toronto bad”.

            To be fair he didn’t really offer. He threw around the term buck a beer a couple times but booze has actually been increasing in price since hes been elected.

              Yeah but wasn’t there supposed to be the “buck a beer” beer that he had going? Is that still a thing?

        Those of us who live in the province but voted for someone else aren’t quite sure, but the fact that a lot of people seem not to have realized the last election was even taking place may have had something to do with it.

          Yeah I don’t get it. Are they just advertising these elections on conservative talk radio or something?

    It’s a shame that only a minority of Ontarians even fucking voted for the second time in a row. Maybe don’t let Conservatives walk into power and then complain about all the damage they do.
