Remember the gas plant scandal?
It seems so quaint now in the face of Doug Ford's open corruption.
Vote better, Ontario.
- To build on this: show up to vote next time, Ontario.
  
  You know, you say that, but the entire Toronto area voted against him. The entire region was solid red, yet somehow this clown got voted in, which was weirdly funny when I saw that the area around Thunder Bay voted against him as well. The part of Ontario I'm worried about is Ottawa, and how the entire city outside of the downtown core voted for him.
  Honestly, when I saw the vote map after the last election, the results were scary as someone who was seriously against Ford. Don't people keep seeing that most of his efforts keep concentrating in and around Toronto and flat out ignore all the people who voted for him? It's like only Toronto and Norther Ontario's noticed this about him.
  
  I vote every time. I didn't vote for Steve Clark.
  Everyone needs to vote next time.
  
  It really shouldn't matter which representative you end up choosing to hire. While one might be better than another, they are all good enough. The key is to make sure you are constantly talking to them. They are most certainly not mind readers. Talk to them more if they are struggling to understand what you are trying to say.
  Election day is the least significant day in democracy. Every day following the election is when your real work takes place.

"It was a mistake to establish a process that moved too fast,” Ford said.
Pretty tacit admission that he'll try again. He's just sorry he got caught.
- It was a mistake to move fast enough for voters to notice, I should have boiled them slowly like a frog.

  His "apology" did not rebuild shattered trust.
  He's toast.

Ford was the mistake..

Daily reminder - fuck Doug Ford. He's a corrupt, slimy, lying piece of shit. The only thing he cares about is him and his buddies getting richer.

Ford was the mistake.

"As a first step to earn back your trust, I’ll be reversing the changes we made and won’t make any changes to the Greenbelt in the future.”
As a first step to earn back your trust, I'll dump the person I was cheating on you with and won't bang them again in the future!

I wonder what other scandal this is covering for... Normally they make big announcements only to distract from other malfeasance.
- And here's why:

  I told you it was a distraction...

Make him walk the entire length of the land he was trying to develop!

Glad Doug understands now.
- But does he understood he fucking lied in the first place? He's still a shitheel
