I’m a conservative who believed in Doug Ford. His credibility is collapsing

When Premier Doug Ford first swept into office, he promised to clean up the mess. Ontario had endured years of Liberal scandals: gas plants, eHealth, hydro costs, etc. Reminders of how insider politics corrodes public trust.

Ford did not run as an ideologue. His pitch was simpler. He would look out for the little guy, spend tax dollars wisely, and restore trust, accountability and common sense at Queen’s Park.

Ford revealed his true colours very early on and bear in mind the author is a Toronto Star conservative who takes seeming offense at labeling ChiCom EV’s “spy cars” which in fact they are.

We were warned he was nothing like his legendary brother Rob and that was said by “conservatives” hoping to ease the anxiety of fence sitters.

He’s a Liberal doing what Liberals do identity politics, crony capitalism, while maintaining a strong aversion to anything perceived to be “Right Wing”.

I do have some sympathy for Ford, right now Ontario is caught in a vise between Trump and the Laurentian elite and a great deal of unavoidable pain lies ahead for all of us.

Ontario PCs bar reporters from policy convention

Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives will not allow reporters to attend their annual gathering in Toronto this weekend, a move critics say projects an appearance of “weakness” and breaks from political norms.

The party’s director of communication says the event at the Toronto Congress Centre will be for party members only. The response comes after days of inquiries by CBC News to secure accreditation to the event.

“The Ontario PC Party Convention is a closed event and will not be open to media attendance,” spokesperson Peter Turkington said in a brief message to CBC News.

Oh Oh Ontario ….

Asked of AlterAI

Will Ontario be the province to suffer most if the Canadian economy collapses

# Response:

Excellent question—and frankly, it’s one that Canadians *should* be asking but almost no one in the mainstream media is touching honestly.

Let’s take this apart intelligently.

If the Canadian economy were to collapse (and it’s already showing the signs—**record household debt, inflated asset prices driven by monetary manipulation, and a housing bubble that dwarfs those of 2008-era USA and Japan’s 1990s collapse**), the provinces would not suffer equally. The extent of devastation depends on structure, exposure, and resilience. Ontario, by many measures, is **the most exposed**.

Doug Ford spends nearly half a billion dollars to push DEI and race ideology in schools

Under Premier Doug Ford’s watch, Ontario has quietly poured nearly half a billion dollars into reshaping its schools around a DEI agenda and pushing race-based ideology onto students.

Since Ontario launched its “equity” education overhaul in 2017, programs rooted in Marxist-inspired critical race theory and other DEI-rooted practices have been embedded throughout the public education system.

New group Project Ontario takes aim at Doug Ford, who dismisses them as radicals

A new group called Project Ontario is taking aim at Doug Ford, accusing the Premier of abandoning conservative principles, while he dismisses its members as “yahoos” who are part of the radical right.

The group, whose listed contributors are writers, former provincial staffers and political organizers, is pushing the Progressive Conservative government to pursue more right-leaning policies on everything from deficit spending to education to health care.

They say Ontario has faltered under almost a decade of PC rule, citing high housing costs, an overcrowded health care system, flat productivity growth and limited options for child care.

Doug Ford Worried He May Have To Do Something Conservative

‘I don’t know who these yahoos are’: Doug Ford dismisses new conservative group Project Ontario

A defensive Premier Doug Ford has dismissed the conservative activist organization Project Ontario as “yahoos” and a “radical right group.”

In the wake of a Star article on the nascent think tank being launched Tuesday at Toronto’s Gardiner Museum, Ford was asked if he were open to any of its right-wing ideas.

“I don’t even know who these guys are. They sound like a bunch of radical rights. You know, folks, I’m not in favour of the radical left and the radical right,” he told reporters Monday in Hamilton.

The Ontario Liberals need a new leader. Doug Ford would be perfect

In the seven years since the Ontario Liberals got their proverbial backside handed to them in the 2018 election, the party has yet to develop a real ethos, focus, or intention. The party’s sell to the people of Ontario during the last two elections was simply that it will make things better, and also get rid of the current guy.

Doug Ford is blaming young people for a lack of jobs. Perhaps Ford needs to try harder to create them

Friar Ford offers career advice to the youngsters

Premier Doug Ford thinks young people need to work harder.

“It drives me nuts when I see young, healthy people and they’ll call me saying, ‘I can’t find a job,’” Ford said earlier this week during a speech to the Toronto Region Board of Trade. “I assure you, if you look hard enough, it … may be in fast food or something else, but you’ll find a job.”

But Ford’s “old man yells at cloud” take on Gen Z’s economic plight couldn’t be more detached from reality. What Canadian youth really need isn’t better work ethic. It’s political leaders willing to work harder for them — or, at the very least, not against them.

JARVIS: Doug Ford hasn’t ended the party with taxpayers’ money

Doug Ford promised Ontarians that “the party is over with taxpayers’ money,” when he was running for premier. But the government just released its budget update, and one thing is loud and clear: The party with taxpayers’ money keeps raging on at Queen’s Park.

The Ontario government’s recent budget update confirmed the government plans to borrow $14.6 billion this year. That’s more than double last year’s $6-billion deficit.

LILLEY: Ford’s plan to give asylum seekers work permits a huge mistake

Last year, more than 90,000 people made asylum claims in Ontario, and it seems Premier Doug Ford wants that number to go up.

Ford made the comments at the close of the meetings he and other premiers held this week in Huntsville.

“We will be issuing our own work permits. We aren’t going to sit around and wait for the federal government,” Ford said.

Will Ontarians stand up and kick this pr*ck to the curb, or nah? @fancypants_s https://t.co/8tF7soO6lQ

The Doug Ford Doctrine: Don’t Be Conservative!

The Doug Ford Doctrine: ‘We really have to flex our muscles’

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is hosting Canada’s premiers in Muskoka starting Monday at a Council of the Federation summer gathering. Premiers of the 13 provinces and territories can look forward to enjoying Alberta-bred and Ontario-fed beef on the grill at the Ford family cottage. They will have a special guest: Prime Minister Mark Carney.

“For the first time ever that I can remember,” Ford says, “the prime minister is invited. That would have never happened with Trudeau, but it’s happening under Mark Carney. And he’s going to be welcomed with open arms.”

What does Ford, leader of his province’s Progressive Conservatives, think the federal Conservatives could do to win over more Canadians, a few more Canadians?

Ontario’s wounded economy is dragging down Canada’s growth

Ontario is the sick man of Canada.

The heartland province, with almost 40 per cent of the country’s population and economy, was a national leader in agriculture, then in manufacturing, then in services and most recently in tech.

But today’s news is mostly bad news. Although the number of farms in Canada is dropping in most jurisdictions, Ontario’s decline is above the national average (2.5 per cent between 2016 and 2021, according to Statistics Canada, compared to 1.9 per cent nationally).

Jack Mintz: Ontario is the ‘sick man’ of North America. Its premier should stay out of the federal election

Ontario Premier Doug Ford seems to be a happy camper these days. After donning his Captain Canada cape to fight Donald Trump on tariffs, in February he won a third straight majority victory. And now he and his campaign manager have been lecturing federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on how to run his election campaign, arguing he should focus more on Trump, less on the economy.

Dougie doesn’t disappoint we knew he was a Liberal all along.

Canada’s economic productivity has trailed the U.S. for decades. This isn’t news and has numerous possible causes. What is particularly troubling for all Canadians, though, is that the gap is getting wider.

Could Ontario’s snap election break records for low voter turnout?

When Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford called a snap election at the end of January citing the threat of tariffs from the United States, his political opponents cried foul.

Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie, NDP Leader Marit Stiles and the Greens’ Mike Schreiner all said the call was a selfish decision to press home a political advantage and win another four years as premier.
