Doug Ford crowing about spending $1.3B on colleges and universities and $1.8B on healthcare.

Oddly, he opts to not mention the $2.3B he’s spending on a private spa in Toronto.

I suspect most Toronto residents will never visit the place, but I’m confident Ford will have given them revenue guarantees.

Ford didn't mention the fact that all the schools and hospitals are broke (those are big numbers, but not big enough to support Ontario's large population)

mynamesnotgordy.bsky.social•5 days ago

That’s Doug’s MO. And his entire team’s. Throw out bigly numbers. Hope people are like:

And many of the people working for those schools and hospitals are still out money from Bill 124…

And ignoring how some of the first things he did as premier was cut funding to all levels of education, get rid of the rent cap (& he's a landlord), underfund healtucare by billions.
It's like taking $5 from a kid and then giving him a 25-cent candy a week later and saying the kid should be grateful

To us Americans, the 2.3 B on spa is totally unclear, but if this is at all on point, you are being very very very misleading as that 2.3b is over a long period of time

also, not clear at all where that 2.3B figure cae from

Am I correct that 3 of 4 candidates have attended post secondary education?

robthebold.bsky.social•5 days ago

Completed, I think is more accurate. Duh'g dropped out of college during a teacher's strike, I think. Went to work for his old man, to truly learn about the Ford art of nepotism!!

Or the hundreds of millions to put booze in corner stores.

As Doug might say “that really grinds my gears”. Why are we subsidizing a luxury spa in downtown Toronto??? I would however love to have a family doctor one day soon.

bballog55.bsky.social•5 days ago

You do know that la the entire Ontario Place redevelopment and not just the spa?

mynamesnotgordy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes. I understand.

But I’m still out 400 bucks.

It’s like … a tax, really.

suzannekettley.bsky.social•5 days ago

and the $3 billion to bribe us to vote for them AND losing at least $500,000 to break a contract with the Beer Store so we could have alcohol in corner stores a year early.

unarmedgorilla.bsky.social•5 days ago

Or the $1.2B to put beer in corner stores and screwing our craft brewery small businesses.
