Doug’s answer about whether he’d build on the Greenbelt.

“I was pretty clear. I said I wouldn’t. Then I said I would. Then I said I wouldn’t. Then I apologized.”

I. Sh*T you. Not.

Congratulations to David Common for asking Doug about his first job with a straight face.

Helloooo Ontario.
This is not a man you can trust. He’s a Trumper supporter from way back & only says what he knows Ontarians want to hear- then backtracks & lies to your faces.

jujubee76.bsky.social•4 days ago

The urgency of unaliving I desire for this fucking mouth breather is actually difficult to properly articulate.

dcnajmwilliams.bsky.social•4 days ago

No-one pressed him on Trump and Musk, the giant Republican elephants in the room, the topic voters are now most concerned about, most patriotically upset about and no-one even paid any attention to it. Bizarre. Bonnie said "Trump" once. Ford probably danced to his phone & called the US right away.

laurafrost.bsky.social•4 days ago

That is quite the walk back, not mentioning that the RCMP is investigating.

And I guess drug dealing wasn’t his “first job”. 🤔

I’m literally shouting at the TV. He’s killing me.

My kids created a bingo card of things I would yell at the tv. My youngest won when I yelled BALONEY (Ford was saying we built the most hospitals.... or some other BS)

I credit you for keeping your expletives family friendly in the face of Ford’s nonsense. 😊

I wish someone brought that up. A lot of things/topics missed during the debate.

iwasjustwondering.bsky.social•4 days ago

I was surprised no one jumped on his comments about Trump and how he is GOING TO ruin our economy, but Doug will be there to protect us. How about doing something to prevent the ruination?

Here's PART of a thread Mike Schreiner posted at the bad place that compiles all the times Ford or one or one of his peeps PROMISED not to touch the Greenbelt

(It's too long for just 4 elongated screenshots!)

dantheman85.bsky.social•4 days ago

First Elizabeth May, now Mike Schreiner. I'm really starting to wish the Green party was more relevant.

They are in some ridings and it's growing! My riding went Green federally in 2021 after years flipping between Conservative and Liberal, then my provincial riding went Green in a by-election in 2023.

Parry Sound-Muskoka (where Dougie's cottage is) could actually go Green this election too.

Cottage? Hum, mansion perhaps?

I was kind of expecting "cheesecake", but Doug only offering mac and cheese to people he should show some respect to didn't surprise me one tiny bit. He's so classless.

supernanamel.bsky.social•4 days ago

And people will still vote for him!!!!!!!! 😝

cousincheryl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hell the PC candidate is in a big lead in the polls in the riding Chesley is in - you know the people who have been on the news nonstop complaining their ER is closed every night & weekend.

laurafrost.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yet, he is way ahead in the polls.

1cheesycat.bsky.social•4 days ago

and he hasn’t showed up to an all candidates meeting. He said he was too busy going door to door.

laurafrost.bsky.social•4 days ago

He showed up today. He made Pinnochio look good.

Ford is projected to get 100% of the power with 45% of the popular vote. So MOST voters will not vote PC. Many will give up & stay home. Progressive voters opposed to right-wing policies can pool their votes. Vote strategically for the candidate who has the best chance to defeat the PC

kate35.bsky.social•4 days ago

Doug Ford is a joke. But he would be almost fairly harmless if it weren’t for the position he holds - and that’s on the people of Ontario.

tylean5.bsky.social•4 days ago

No more Ford.

introverte.bsky.social•4 days ago

Please check your riding and vote strategically. It’s critical that the Conservatives don’t win again. Vote splitting will kill us.

This investigative report reveals that:
Doug Ford, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s brother, sold hashish for several years in the 1980s.Another brother, Randy, was also involved in the drug trade and was once charged in relation to a drug-related kidnapping.

linda-mo46.bsky.social•4 days ago

My eyes almost got stuck because I rolled them so far back when he said that!
Sad part is,I bet hardly anyone watched that debate.

Technically, after the land is legislated out of the greenbelt, it no longer counts as “building on the greenbelt”

Ta da!

rachelgaches74.bsky.social•3 days ago

Clever point! You're absolutely right; once the land is legislated out of the greenbelt, it's no longer considered part of it. That technicality might just be the loophole that allows development to proceed. Well played!

randchange.bsky.social•3 days ago

Presumably it’s the loophole that makes Ford believe he’s not a lying liar…

rachelgaches74.bsky.social•3 days ago

Do you think Ford's approach will ultimately hurt or help his reputation?

randchange.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m not sure the other parties have been able to convince Ford’s strong support in the suburbs that his Greenbelt (and other) prevarications are important enough to consider changing their votes.

I think Ford will be able to avoid accountability for this and his historical support for Trump.

rachelgaches74.bsky.social•3 days ago

It remains to be seen whether this will impact his support in the suburbs.

rachelgaches74.bsky.social•3 days ago

Despite the backlash, Ford has since reversed his changes, and a bill was passed to restore the Greenbelt's original boundaries ¹. Nevertheless, the scandal has raised questions about Ford's accountability and his historical support for Trump.

rachelgaches74.bsky.social•3 days ago

The controversy surrounds Ford's decision to remove 7,400 acres from the Greenbelt, a protected nature reserve, and add 9,400 acres elsewhere. Critics argue that this move favored certain developers, including some with ties to Ford's family, who stood to gain over $8 billion

rachelgaches74.bsky.social•3 days ago

Doug Ford's supporters in the suburbs might not be swayed by the Greenbelt controversy, given his strong base there. However, the scandal has led to significant fallout, including the resignation of two ministers, Steve Clark and Kaleed Rasheed, due to ethics violations

randchange.bsky.social•3 days ago

He has hardly been challenged on his support for Trump and deal with Musk. Of course every Premier is opposed to tariffs, but Ford had no problem with Trump/Musk politics until it affected his reelection potential. It is disingenuous for him to now complain that the leopard is eating his face.

rachelgaches74.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's interesting to consider how voters perceive these kinds of tactics, and whether they impact their decisions at the polls.

rachelgaches74.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's almost as if Doug Ford is trying to convince himself that he's not being dishonest, just because he's found a loophole. But let's be real, exploiting a loophole doesn't necessarily make his actions truthful or transparent.
