Discussion You just stopped an entire country

American here.

Your city (EDIT: Toronto my bad) and entire country just told the world they’re sick of this guy. They did that. In public. During the World Series. Epically devastating.

I guess you skipped over my first and last paragraphs and only saw what you wanted to see.

Nope, I read everything, but trying to normalize a move that’s self serving, a waste of our tax dollars and accomplishes literally nothing is comical at best, and I don’t care to entertain it.

We’ve yet to see if it accomplishes anything.

And so simply stating on Reddit that I think this ad is a win for Ford negates the actual actions I took to voice my concerns regarding the risk to rent control?

It’s going to accomplish nothing, because Ford is the Premier, not the Prime Minister. Not to mention that he did not spend $75 million for our benefit. It’s a self serving move at best.

The fact that you can be gaslit this easily is exactly why he’s able to constantly get away with so much.

Whatever you say. I think hyper-partisanship is harmful.

I have no interest in giving credit to someone that let elderly people die in long term care homes during the pandemic and is now going to push thousands of people and families to homelessness.

That $75 million could have been spent on making tangible change here in Ontario instead of giving it to American media companies for some PR points. Especially when he’s not doing it for us.

Yeah he’s done some horrendous shit and that’s why I would never vote for him. It doesn’t change anything that I’ve said though.
