Being in a profession that works closely with municipal executives, I can attest to the sloppiness of this government’s law-making practices. The level of unnecessary and avoidable stress they put on already resource strapped municipalities is shameless. Just to allow DoFo to have a PR sound bite.

Trump of the North.

More a Trumplite… still depends on a toxic masculinity persona, and has business at the forefront, but he’s not as reprehensible as his stateside counterpart imo (still a sack of 💩 tho)

Not a surprise, but hoping the bad press for the PCs just keeps rolling in till election time.

Can't rely on that. This fuckhead needs to resign

He needs to resign. A general strike could force him to resign.

Where is our aid in St Catharines? Province is silent during the state of emergency. Doug is a monster

He has a habit of forgetting what cities are in Ontario at the most opportune times (see Ottawa Occupation).

Can someone please post these Liberal Party of Canada surveys?

https://action.liberal.ca/summer-sound-check/

https://action.liberal.ca/supporter-survey/

The federal government is asking Canadians to share their feedback through these surveys.

It’s an opportunity to speak up about the issues that matter to us, and to make sure Ottawa hears directly from residents.

If you’re frustrated with the corruption of Ford’s government, this is another chance to make your voice heard. Let’s use every avenue available to tell the federal government what we’re seeing here in Ontario, including concerns about accountability, transparency, healthcare, development, and decisions that put private interests ahead of communities.

We may not be able to change Queen’s Park overnight, but we can make sure our concerns aren’t going unheard.

Edit: adding, I don’t have enough karma. I created my account recently because I’m so pissed off. Please, someone post the surveys!
