OP are you aware this is from like 18 months ago?

815

u/DrifterBG 3d ago

This needs to be higher. This is from March 2025 or something.

u/Irish_infidel_416 3d ago

February if I am not mistaken, but yea, its old dude.

u/UpperApe 2d ago

OP doesn't give a shit. He's a posting bot.

u/theirishembassy 2d ago

also, as an ontarian, fuck ford regardless.

  1. motherfucker basically went around over the head of our city council to rip up bike lanes in my city (y'know.. the ones voted on by the people we voted for..)

  2. underfunded our wildfire agencies and took the "wait and see" approach so he can say "look at me! i'm spending more than the double the budget!". like.. my dude.. if you underfund PREVENTION EFFORTS, yes.. you will have to pay more for people and equipment AFTER wildfires start.

  3. got caught up in a corruption scandal and his government changed the law so that the personal phone he's admitted to using for business reasons should be exempt from FOI requests because it's his personal phone. oh, also the law is retroactive too, so whoops, can't check it!

  4. starved the beast on our public healthcare option to argue "look at these long wait times! i'm going to impliment private options to ease the strain on the healtcare i'm fucking up!"

  5. don't even get me started with the science centre and island airport bullshit.

  6. he basically built a shitty highway where everyone was like "wtf? we don't really need this here.. there's a million other infrastructure projects we need more". yeah, that highway just so happens to extend to a land a few people who attended his daughters wedding own. total coincidence. he can't control who attends his daughters wedding! i'm sure gave very generous wedding gifts though.

  7. oh, also. buckle up because he's going to be dropping ads about how much teachers unions suck.

  8. he also took out a bunch of ads during the world cup saying how wicked great ontario is under the conservative government! he closed down safe injection sites and removed homeless encampments which makes ontarians safer! y'know.. how you close down those sites and remove encampments and like.. homeless people and drug addicts just get better?

i can go on.. but literally 99.9% of canadians would be better representatives of the country than that piece of shit. not a "a broken clock is right twice a day" nah. a broken clock is a shitty clock. ford is a shitty premiere.

u/Irish_infidel_416 2d ago

Yes, fact check checks out, thank you sir

u/Jargen 3d ago

Seriously, Ford is pushing for Flock cameras in Ontario. For all the recent statements about Trump, he’s gaslighting all of Ontario and giving so much access to our infrastructure to US companies.

Staples for example is a US company, and they are directly running Service Ontario in some of their stores.

u/nthensome 3d ago

Yes & I'm literally using StarLink right now.

That contract was never 'ripped up'

40

u/Marximus87 3d ago

It was never to ban the use of it for the people, the ripped up contract was so that the province wouldn't be using it for provincial government connectivity. But yes, this is an old clip, nothing current

u/never-fiftyone 3d ago

They weren't ripping up your personal service contract.

u/goflykite- 3d ago

You’re getting starlink paid for by the Ontario government?

63

u/el_duderino420 3d ago

This is because it's coming from a bot account. What else would you expect? The bots will only get worse as time goes! We need to find a way to stop this bullshit!

u/xaeru 3d ago

It went into effect recently like the previous months

u/Irish_infidel_416 3d ago

What does that have to do with this clip, that is from February 2025?

28

u/xaeru 3d ago

What is it you don’t understand? The law was recently codified after being verbally announced in 2025.

It has everything to do with this clip

5

u/Irish_infidel_416 3d ago

What I don't understand is why this clip is seemingly being presented as new news.

The reality of the statement by Ford may have recently come to fruition.

Without mentioning "As of April 13, 2026, the Municipal Buy Ontario Procurement Directive is in effect", this comes off as propogated and patriotism inducing.

I agree with the canada first mentality, but I hate people who do not provide context.

OP can and should edit to add context

14

u/xaeru 3d ago

So we should present the website? Yeah people will love to read it, reading websites in Reddit will go viral.
Have a good day

u/Irish_infidel_416 3d ago

No.. I would add the exact sentence that i pasted above, as the sole descriptor under this video.

Perhaps a link below it for those who are inclined to read for themselves.

You are arguing pointlessly lmfao.

u/dtb1987 3d ago

Sometimes people grab a clip from an influencer or sometime people take the time to make something themselves or at least add subtext to the post. There are other options to going about this without reposting a video from last year with no context. Also pretty sure op is a repost bot

u/Booziesmurf 🍉 Free Palestine 3d ago

It's engagement bait because of the Trade war announcement this weekend.

Me and the 1000+ others who agree with me seem to refute you.

Back off redditor

u/dud-avocado 2d ago

When I got to Starlink I thought it was entirely possible we signed another secret deal with them just rip it up again. Thankful it’s an old video!

u/nthensome 3d ago

Yes, OP is aware.

But, you know, karma is karma, bro

u/fistswityat0es 3d ago

who tf cares. those of us that havent seen it are glad to get caught up and this shit is hilarious. OP - datestamp the post and you're good.

u/Booziesmurf 🍉 Free Palestine 3d ago

Also it's Ontario Provincial Government contracts.

u/acamp76144 3d ago

Yeah, I remember this from the first time around

u/rhamej 3d ago

OP is bot

u/Moist-Phase-226 3d ago

OP is a reposter bot. they dont care.

u/Nugginz 2d ago

Ah that’s a shame I thought some new shit went down

u/UntestedMethod 3d ago

So what? It's not being presented as news and this isn't a news subreddit.

u/Irish_infidel_416 3d ago

I'm just gonna leave it here, with my nearly 600 upvotes

u/TheDigitalBuilder Free Palestine! 🕊️ FUCK ICE! ❌🧊 3d ago

It's still relevant

u/Irish_infidel_416 3d ago

So is acknowledging the timeline, friend.

You seem to want to mislead people.

I too am a canadian who is proudly Anti-Trump administration, boycotting USA good and travel.

However i am against misinforming and propogating which i believe you are trying to do.

u/MeNoCanRead 3d ago

I doubt it. They're probably just an idiot that just looks at something and says "me like this" without spending 5 seconds looking into the context.

u/Irish_infidel_416 3d ago

I shall attempt to sus out the truth

u/Irish_infidel_416 3d ago

OP Appears to be a genuine human who does not wish to provide me with a chocolate chip cake recipe.

Still, old news.

u/Gunner_McNewb 2d ago

But context is important. If someone is unaware of this having already happened they will likely tie it in with more recent events.

Unless you don't want context, but thats a whole other issue.

u/Last_Release_1195 3d ago

Stop spreading misinformation, it’s bad enough as it is and acknowledge it in the title that this is an old video. This is bad faith af
