The Fords have been a boil on Toronto's and Ontario's backsides for too long. At least Rob was too incompetent to be dangerous. (Cartoon partly by me from 2014.)
The ruling party's performance is always part of an election campaign. In fact, that should be all it's allowed to run on. No campaigning, just its record.
Once the election is called, they can’t turn NEW government work into campaign material.
Opp’sn parties are at an extreme disadvantage if the inc’mbt party is a maj.
Their legis’lsn can be blocked & can’t use govt funds at will.
That’s why inc’mbt send bribe cheques out before calling an election.
While I agree we should only use their performance in office as a tool to measure their worthiness, it’s not a fair measure after the election is called.
Perfect example, Ford has done jack shit of anything actually useful his whole term until he realized he could use it for publicity in snap elecxn
There is no perfect way to do it. However, terms should be fixed, and the opposition has 60 days to make its case. The party in power can make no announcements and issue no freebies. Elections have consequences, so the public must accept or not the character of the people they elected previously.
This might be a shoe-in for Ford because the weathers gone to crap and ppl might not want to go and vote. In any case, he should cancel the contract with Starlink. Musk is not trustworthy.
Should ask the us congress people who spoke with him what they think. He seems to be a joke to them. Wasting tax dollars paying for a trip to get laughed at and then making it seem like he is actually accomplishing something.
Let's not forget he is still planning on Giving Musk $400 million for the starlink deal. He never tore the contract up. Should never have gone to a foreign company in the 1st place.
Agreed. Ford never intended on canceling that contract. It was all bluster for the media to seize on the situation and fool a few more voters. He’s all for himself, just like always.

He managed to snag a meeting with the Non Binary Restroom cleaning staff at The Capitol…
He’s a colossal wanker too

We don’t want him either!
