#onpoli - ONDP is filibustering Bill 5!!!
https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/video/committees-room-1
Bill 5 is AWFUL. Basically erases environmental protections, especially for endangered species across Ontario, and allows the province to create special economic zones where laws don't apply. including labour laws.

Oh hey! Look, the impacts of such feckless privatisation are conveniently on display at the Federal level. A pilot informs flight passengers that a lack of air traffic controllers has caused their delay.
The cause of that ATC shortage is understaffing at the private staffing corporation the government created with the Civil Air Navigation Services Commercialization Act (ANS Act).

Ontario is firing Canadian WSIB workers and hiring a USA company to replace them. Not very Captain Canada, #DoFo

It's #DoFo's America, we just live here.
@Catelli Doug lashed out against “terrible, bleeding heart” judges who are blocking the govt’s agenda, musing that judges should be elected so they are more responsive to public sentiment. “What right do they have? Unelected, politically appointed judges determining our budgets? We ran on a mandate, we get elected democratically. There haven’t been any judges elected. Maybe that’s the problem. We should do what the U.S. does. Let’s start holding them accountable.” Just who is #DoFo channeling?

@EricLawton And #DoFo is spending a lot of money on healthcare, oh sorry, no, he’s underfunding that as well. The #MostCorruptGovernmentInTheHistoryOfCanada continues its reign. But hey, 55% of eligible voters in Ontario felt the elexn was not important enough to warrant taking some time out of their busy day, so they decided not to bother voting. I guess this is the #FAFO part of the election process then.

@brenttoderian.bsky.social #DougFord is channelling #donaldtrump who is channelling #Hitler. So let’s call it what it is, #DoFo is channelling Hitler.

@cbcnews @ottawa-cbcnews So #DoFo is looking into following in the footsteps of #ABDanielleSmith. Wonder how his brother #Rob, the mayor of Toronto, would have enjoyed that. Would it have stopped him from smoking crack? https://youtu.be/lnYBysK2eLE?si=-N27-mFK93IKLPg2

@CdnCurmudgeon And #DougFord was most likely handsomely rewarded for looking the other way. And now, Therme has a 95 year lease with Ontario. It’s really too bad 55% of Ontario eligible voters chose not to vote. Maybe #DoFo would’ve been booted out and #Therme right alongside him
@Pinchy63 @DemocracyMattersALot #CrackSmoking Rob Ford who vehemently denied his drug related scandal that made headlines around the world, had to admit he lied when a video of him smoking his crack pipe surfaced. The ex-mayor of Toronto, who was ejected from chambers for comments made about city staff was a loud mouth boor. His brother #DoFo the ex-drug dealing dropout, shown here with Ron Taverner whom he appointed as commissioner of the OPP, enjoys party and the good life.
#DoFo says #Krasnov may only shoot #Canada in the foot and not in the knee.

@tod #GoVote. It’s #VoterApathy that would allow #Cons to win. Tell all your friends, your family everyone #GoVote. #Con #DoFo got in with a majority government, again because 55% of eligible Ontario voters chose not to vote. If we don’t vote, we will lose our democracy. We cannot afford to be complacent.

@GottaLaff All sane people are nervous. But I believe #PP has sunk himself. #ChairmanHarper may be looking to #DoFo as a possible puppet replacement. #DougFord is as susceptible as #PierrePoilievre to flattery and manipulation. And both are insatiable narcissists. Right up Harper’s alley. An elexn should be called soon. We just have to make sure Canadians vote. #VoterApathy could doom us all.
@Richard_hoperestored @cbcnews #ChairmanHarper, the face of the rise in global fascism, still pulls the strings. He’s on the Board of Alimentation Couche-Tard, a global leader in the convenience sector, involved in #DoFo’s $225 million one-time payout to the Beer Store. He has a a $240K contract with Saskatchewan to boost international trade. His puppet #PP is BFF with Conservative #JamilJivani, BFF to with #JD Vance who backed Jamil’s campaign for protection of Cdn Christians.

@douglal @orleansfietser @TheGentYYC Of course he will. A leopard never changes its stripes. And #DoFo has no loyalty to Ontario families. If he did, healthcare, autism, education, and social services would be spectacular and not the underfunded pathetic programs we now have. His desire to enrich himself and his BFFs far outweighs any sense of responsibility and obligation he feels for Ontario. To him Ontario is a rich, fertile soil to plunder as best he can.

@orleansfietser @TheGentYYC You’re not the only one. However, remember that #DoFo is loyal to only one thing, and that is himself. Never attribute an altruistic motivation to the man. What he’s doing right now is ingratiating himself with #Donald as well positioning himself as a Harper protégé, with an eye on federal leadership. Because #PP has become a great liability.

@CdnCurmudgeon #DoFo is a bully just like Donald. Theatrics are more important than actual substance. And with his girth, he’s done the equivalent of walking up to Donald and using his gut to force him up against the wall. Long-term, it has zero value.
Once again, 20% of Ontario voters gave #DoFo his 3rd majority government. #VoterApathy resulted in another term with the most corrupt government in the history of Canada. The outcome of this election proves once again it’s time for parties in Ontario to put their partisan self-interests aside & put voters first by supporting a fair and proportional voting system. I hope all who chose not to vote, enjoy the continued corruption and looting of the province.
Fair Vote Canada · PCs form a “majority” government with 43% of the vote: Ontario voters cheated again by first-past-the-post - Fair Vote CanadaOnly 43% of Ontario voters supported Doug Ford's PCs, yet the voting system has given them 64.5 % of the seats and 100% of the power.

@gemelliz #DoFo will sell out Canada in a heartbeat. How Ontario residents could vote him in is beyond me. But then again, people voted for Trump, a convicted rapist, fascist, unrepentant misogynist, white supremacist and felon. So I guess voting in a corrupt drug dealing dropout as premier of a beautiful rich province is not far-fetched. Welcome to another term with the #MostCorruptGovernmentInTheHistoryOfCanada
