If more than 43% of eligible voters turned out this probably wouldn't help them. Since we're a province of slobbering morons who vote for Doug Ford or don't vote at all, also probably didn't help them.

Nobody will save us from ourselves.

Then there was that time they tried to bribe everyone in the province right before an election.

Conservatives on both sides of the border know how to self indulge, self promote their propaganda using public monies. where is the accountability with politicians?

+ Hundreds of millions wasted on partisan ads.

+ And Billions to be wasted on a highway and tunnel to benefit Ford’s corporate friends.

End the backroom deals.

VOTE FORD OUT

This was money spent on "lane widening" so that Felatio Ford could "stay in his own lane"

I was front line in a trauma hospital during the pandemic. I saw what he did first hand. He failed us. I'll never forget. He's part of the reason I left Healthcare

The Mr’s aunt was stuck in an ER bed for over a week in early Dec 2024 before she finally got transferred to a room. She had dementia and it was a terrible, terrible experience. The staff did the best they could. Ford has fucked Ontario and it’s time for Ontario to boot him out.

markc-289.bsky.social•124 days ago

Let me think🤔…now where might that money have been better spent? What funding areas in Ontario could use more money to help Ontarioans?
Maybe healthcare, education, homes and care centres for the homeless, elderly or those with physical or mental challenges?

How many emergency room closures could $103.5 million have kept open I wonder?

vanillabn.bsky.social•123 days ago

Now do legal fees fighting and appealing court cases.

Just wait for the bill from planning the tunnel that will never be built. So many new boats in some people's futures.

orionkidder.bsky.social•123 days ago

Conservatives are NOT the "stewards of the economy" except if your definition of "economy" is "rich people enriching themselves," which actually *is* the point of capitalism, so in a roundabout way, it's accurate. :)

Why do you hate that Doug is close personal friends with the governor of New Jersey, who can't wait to visit him in Quebec City?

Ontario please!!!! Vote this crook out. You are paying for his ads that are full of misleading information!!! Our HealthCare, Education &Housing SUCK!!!!

But it’s what a corrupt politician would do! Simple.
We know what he is, it’s Ontarians I blame.

the-old-man.bsky.social•123 days ago

Ontario voters; is it irony or stupidity, I really don't know? Paying $2b for a spa that you probably can't afford to ever use because in part, you're paying for a $2b spa.

mycircus.bsky.social•123 days ago

And if he has his way a tunnel!!!

Every Ontario ad was a PC ad.

420highq.bsky.social•123 days ago

10 billion percent!

literally drowns out everything else with this bs lies.

Fuck doug fraud! 🖕🖕

anonymouscanuck.bsky.social•121 days ago

We the people of Ontario want our $103 million back just add it to all the other frivolous expenditures on the Doug Ford and his conservative partys list. That $200 bribe seems like a pittance

anonymouscanuck.bsky.social•123 days ago

Hey even though I got my bribe I feel that Mr Ford and his political party owes me more . What about cost of airfare to Washington and hotel cost and food and beverage cost. Don't you think that bribe should be so much more . Oh and out of the conservative partys pocket

No hesitation to spend 103.5 million tax payers dollars on his election campaign, while 83000 homeless and food banks unable to keep up. And let's not forget our depleted health care system.

ryanbposting.bsky.social•123 days ago

Think of all of the emergency rooms and doctors/nurses that could've gone towards instead

wellstella1.bsky.social•123 days ago

And how much did PP spend in the last yrs or two on ads when there wasn't even an election called and he isn't even governing? Election Canada do better!

constanceont.bsky.social•123 days ago

Very similar to the waste of tax dollars used to sue Canadians in court... #FORDMustGO VOTE - Our lives depend on it!
The LIST ⬇️ Over a Dozen Lost Cases!! (*Nurses won 1)
