  • A broken voting system, plus weaponized apathy. He got 66+% of the seats in Ontario’s Parliament with 17% of eligible voters choosing their local conservative candidate.

    Published polls for MONTHS before the election showed he was going to win by a landslide – so people stayed home, thinking it was pointless. They’re doing it in the USA right now with slanted polls showing it’s a toss-up, even though exit polls show that the majority of early voters are women.







  • Uh, first, Doug Ford was never mayor. It was his shithead junkie brother.

    Second, Ontario can order Toronto to remove them, but Toronto can refuse or take them to court. I doubt the MTO is going to send a crew into downtown Toronto – it’s not their turf.

    Third, if Ontario contracts a third party to do the work, they’d be setting themselves up for getting named in a lawsuit.

    This whole thing is a clusterfuck, and Thuggie needs to get a new hobby.



  • If Article 5 is invoked, Russia ceases to exist overnight.

    The evening of the first day Russia fucks up, the US demonstrates why Americans don’t have healthcare. It swoops in with a couple dozen stealth fighters, eliminates air-defence, decapitates the entire chain of command, then levels every military and military-adjacent structure from west to east and east to west and south to north at the same time. I sincerely doubt a single American life would be lost.

    By morning, there’s nothing of consequence left, and regular NATO fighters have control of the skies, taking out leftover smaller targets and industrial infrastructure… and that’s it, game over.



  • Let’s not forget that his shithead junkie brother cancelled MOST of Transit City – a plan developed & designed for maximum impact for the least expense… Costing the city of Toronto nearly $100M in wasted work and cancellation penalties (which massively benefitted developers).

    He fought like hell for the city to build subways rather than surface rail on a separated grade from cars, which is far cheaper, and nearly as effective as subways when approaching streetcars get priority from traffic lights.









  • The hypocrisy is what gets me… Yeah, axe the tax… But let the forests keep burning, the rain keep flooding, the heat keep broiling people and droughts starving us…

    It’s not rocket surgery… Make the thing that is bad for us more expensive, and use that money to make things that are good for us LESS expensive. I still don’t know why there isn’t a tax on gasoline and diesel and natural gas that doesn’t DIRECTLY fund public transit…
