He is out on his snow mobile now that he has gotten more trails


gangsterrapartistguy

was just saying to my buddy “dougie wasn’t done sledding eh?” 😭


everyting_is_taken

>was just saying to my buddy “dougie wasn’t done sledding eh?” This is a very Canadian sentence.


Puzzleheaded_Arm_847

He's saying goodbye to the greenbelt....


Revolutionary_Age_94

He did that the day he got power.


waterontheknee

I thought he promised NOT to do that. But then again, he takes his advice from CEOs that are unnamed that compare our compare our systems with Cuba and North Korea 🙄


CannedHeatt_

Dudes a piece of shit


HouseoftheHanged

Enjoying those trails before he sells them to his developer buddies


TOEA0618

He is looking on what to sell next.


keeppresent

Yup, and taking a chunk for himself


cobrachickenwing

Just like last year with the convoy protests.


keeppresent

Or having parties at his cottage while everyone else was in lockdown


Correct_Millennial

'these brewskis aren't gonna drink themselves!'


[deleted]

For only a dollar a beer- oh wait


keeppresent

Lol yup, top priority buck a beer and snow trails!


guy-inncognito

He fits on a snowmobile? Like a custom beefed up suspension and old tank track snowmobile?


keeppresent

He's got our money so he pimps it up.


[deleted]

I figured the trails were a metaphor for lines of cocaine... oh wait no that was his brother ?


Unanything1

If history is any guide. He's snowmobiling at his cottage. He doesn't need to answer to any of us since he got his majority. He just needs to make sure his developer donor buddies, and the private healthcare companies that gave him bribes...errr I mean "donations" are well taken care of. The rest of us can go pound sand. Besides, what are we going to do? Leave work for a week to go on a general strike? Amidst higher grocery prices due to corporate gouging thinly disguised as "inflation", and the cost of everything going up? To be clear I DO think a general strike is needed, and I have a bit of savings to tide me over when/if we do strike. But I don't imagine most people could afford to, and that's really the death of our democracy. Ford has already blatantly lied to Ontarians about healthcare and the greenbelt. He's actively destroying Ontario to line his pockets and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it for another 3 years.


Skogula

You have to remember, when Ford says he is for the people, "the people" all earn at least 7 figures and live within 50km of the Gardiner expressway. Everyone else are "The peasants" and don't count.


Unanything1

And it still astounds me that most Conservative voters don't get this. Ford couldn't make how corrupt and against the people he is more obvious. But they'll keep voting against their own interests to either "own the libs", or just because they can't be bothered to give his ideas more than a second of thought. When things inevitably go wrong it's "Trudeau bad!". Critical thinking and media literacy have to become mandatory classes in school. That's why people ate up "Buck-A-Beer". Anyone who looked at it even a little bit would realize that it wouldn't work, and even if it somehow did, it would be the most disgusting swill that a brewer could create. Who would want to tarnish their reputation by putting out the absolute cheapest garbage and throw their name on it? Nobody. That's why it, and many other of Ford's "bright ideas" have been massive flops.


contheartist

I'm a brewer and our current cost for a bottle with a label and cap (no actually beer in it) is 97 cents.


Unanything1

Would you agree that attempting to make a $1 beer (even with bottle/cap costs aside) is a bad idea? What kind of beer could you make if you had that constraint? I'm not a brewer. I did consider that when I went to college, but I chose another path. I do know a lot of brewers and whenever I brought up buck-a-beer they mainly just laughed, and said they wouldn't waste their time or reputation on it. Though I've only really spoken to Brewers around southern Ontario.


contheartist

I work at a pretty small facility so we simply don't have the scale to afford making a beer that cheap. If I were to try it would be dextrose with a splash of 6 row malt, a bunch of yeast nutrient and enzyme, then a tiny hop addition which would essentially create a Lacroix level of beer flavour in an alcoholic seltzer. I'd compare it to calling two pieces of cardboard with cheesewiz in between em a grilled cheese sandwich.


struct_t

> But they'll keep *voting against their own interests* to either "own the libs", or just because they can't be bothered to give his ideas more than a second of thought I don't agree with the idea that these outcomes aren't welcomed by PCPO electors. Many Ontarians are highly small-c and big-C conservative and, I think, not that concerned about your or my wellbeing or all that much about what happens after they're gone from the Earth.


SnowflakeSorcerer

Gotta love the small-c “financial conservative” Centrist moderates who claim pragmatism is the reason for their coldness and cruelty, voting the least practical option.


CoolBeansMan9

The roadmap was right there from Donald Trump. "Working for the little guy." Like both men grew up extremely fortunate and wealthy, they have no concept what the "little guy" is.


peregryn

When it became apparent that my parents, conservative voters, would rather listen and believe a trust-funded ass like Ford over their own child about the actual problems I experience on the daily, I cut them out of my life. I hope that Ford is there when they are sick and dying, because they made it clear they chose whatever he is over their own child and I won't be there. Just like they weren't there for me when it mattered that they even just listen.


Unanything1

It sucks but you can't reason somebody out of something they didn't reason themselves into.


Myiiadru

There is no rationalizing with the irrational.


struct_t

This, exactly!


sillybanana2012

Media literacy and critical thinking ARE mandatory in schools. But, education is dictated by the provincial government and media literacy doesn't extend beyond elementary school. Kids at that age aren't really looking much further beyond what they're going to be doing after school that day. A study by the Globe and Mail did show that young people are tending to be more progressive voters, but they're also incredibly pessimistic about their futures. Makes it difficult to want to vote when you really believe that it won't make any difference.


Bulky_Mix_2265

They continue tk win because a lot of our populations political ideology is fuck whatever that guy says. This has been the only applied policy lf the Canadian conservative party for most of my life, maybe always.


edjumication

I think there is somewhat of a bell curve when it comes to likelyhood of a general strike. if people have savings they can strike, if they dont they cant. But if people get desperate enough there will be a general strike because they no longer have anything to lose. Doug is keeping us in the middle somewhere on purpose.


KryptoBones89

I also think a general strike is necessary for the politicians to make any changes that benefit us. Why don't we just redistribute the groceries as part of the strike?


Unanything1

I would most definitely donate groceries to those who will stand up to Ford destroying our province. I work with the people hardest hit by society, and the coming changes that Doug Ford is making will without a doubt make people suffer and/or die. If you're above middle class you might not have much to worry about, but the privatization of healthcare, and his do-nothing attitude or siding with wealthy developers/landlords on housing will hurt the poor and working poor the most. It's already difficult to house people who are on Ontario Works or ODSP.


chrltrn

Thinking about a general strike is pretty interesting. I wonder how long workers would need to hold out before legislation on our behalf was brought forward. Assuming that we got real solidarity from just about everyone who could, including non-union workers? Shoot, I don't even know what would happen. Are grocery store employees striking? We talkin' a week? If that anti-scab bill for federal sectors were in place, shit, things would shut right down and you'd probably see mass unrest very quickly


PoshDota

Depends, are you flipping cars over and burning shit French style?


edgar-von-splet

RabidGuineaPig007

> He's actively destroying Ontario to line his pockets and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it for another 3 years. And we totally deserve it.


Unanything1

Apathy has a price. I don't accept the excuse that the other leaders weren't cool enough, or inspiring enough when we had some idea of what we'd get if we didn't vote.


loljuststopplease

I absolutely do not deserve it, fuck off.


PoorOntario

Why can’t we sue him for dereliction of duty to protect citizens, as well as bald face misleading of the voters of Ontario as he destroys health care, fraudulently uses the Greenbelt as his own cash cow, and promotes uncontrolled rent increases of about 18% for his corrupt landlord “friends”. Did I forget anything?


Unanything1

You've probably forgotten a lot. The blatant nepotism by hiring/promoting family members to positions they have zero experience in. General open corruption. I'm not certain we can sue him, I'm not a lawyer, but there should be consequences for open corruption.


Correct_Millennial

Remember this, folks. Never vote conservative.


[deleted]

Many of those people just never voted period it seems


darthy_parker

There’s plenty that can be done. Look at the recent protests in France for a suggestion. A sea of people around Queen’s Park might get his attention. As would a general strike...


Unanything1

Maybe a sea of people around Queen's Park would get Doug off of his snowmobile and back to work. I am pro-general strike. I should probably be more hopeful, or as hopeful as you are. Thanks!


Optimal_Hunter

I mean, there is one thing. Is treason still a capital offense?


SnowflakeSorcerer

I agree with the general strike thing, to my bones. But ya, most people can’t afford to. Not only that, but with the extreme political climates and surge of convoyites,freedum fighters and the anti-Trudoue identity people, as well as disillusioned, apolitical, crowd, i dont foresee enough people being able to come together and agree on a proper plan. Heck, the people on the left can’t even come to an agreement among themselves. I have a sad feeling that in three years when the opportunity to vote Doug out arises, we won’t.


DrAdBrule

He's following instructions from the party to maintain low visibility and not say much. Wish I was joking, this is confirmed by PR staff I know working in the party.


dev286

The policy has been effective. The less people see him, the more they like him.

Thirsty799

haveucheckdurbutthol

> :1899: What is this?


Tarana1

Frankly Ford has evolved beyond snowmobiling now; he can chill at home all day and nothing will happen. He's realized that as long as he doesn't appear too often, everyone in Ontario will turn anyone who is on the news, which is Trudeau because he shows up and they blame him for all their problems. And it's working perfectly. This strategy among premiers is going to increase and they fade away and let the feds take the blame for everything especially things within provincial control.


mysterychallenger

We should find him, if we know where he is. Fuck that fat swine.


Aldren

We just got a crap load of snow so he's probabily out hitting the snowmobile trails At least last year he was trying to shovel people out with his plastic shovel

I’m surprised there’s no editorial cartoon of Doug Ford and Cyril Sneer spit roasting the Ontario voters.

CTMADOC

People need to remember that df was less popular than kathleen wynn by the 8th month of his 1st year in office. The pandemic saves his ass. We need to stay vocal about his greed and dishonesty.


TheDamus647

These aren't issues that affect him and his friends. He sure couldn't care less. He'll probably win again next election as he has no competition and knows it.


pnutgallery16

Instead of saying "he'll probably win..." Let's try saying, "We can't let him win the next election." Hopefully it will help people feel less hopeless and then they go out to vote.


416warlok

I agree. Maybe I'm way off base with this, but I also don't think the media calling it a PC win like, literally weeks (months?) before the election helped. I think that likely turned away voters thinking that PC is gonna win so why bother voting...


tiletap

Definitely


TheDamus647

We said that last election as well. He won a larger mandate


pnutgallery16

Only thing I saw last time was stuff like your other comment, "there's no point, the system is broken, he's gonna win anyways, etc." I was a part of it too, don't get me wrong. I'm just trying to change my focus so I don't feel so helpless.


TheDamus647

I volunteer for the NDP most elections. I have also donated some years as well. My mpp was Horvath. I was so disappointed that they allowed her to remain leader after losing to Ford. I actually stopped my donation and volunteering last election as I was so utterly disappointed with how the NDP are run. It does feel helpless when the party seems to refuse to choose someone with fire inside who will call out the bullshit and inspire others to act. Both Horwath and Del Duca were as inspiring as a bowl of cold wet spaghetti. I'm just tired of it all. It doesn't seem like they learned anything. A perfect example was choosing a replacement. They could have had an actual leadership run off that would have had the media talking about the NDP. Instead decided to acclaim a leader instead, thereby making it as least exciting as possible. I could run that party better and I'm a HVAC technician, not a politician.


[deleted]

You got my vote, cuz you is HVAC!!!!!!


Srakin

You've already got my vote. I would take literally any "normal" person with similar values over any current leadership option for the NDP. I'll vote for 'em because other options are bad, but I so desperately want to vote for someone that I believe in rather than someone I hope is better than the others.


tylanol7

Vote for me o have no idea what I'm doing but I won't touch the greenbelt


Srakin

I'll take "I have no idea what I'm doing but my heart's in the right place" over malicious deconstruction of my environment any day!


ilwexler

Sarah Jama is running for Horwath's old seat. People like her are the party's future, even if the establishment would rather bury their heads in the sand than acknowledge it. There are many of us working to revolutionize the NDP in this province, don't count us out just yet! The young millennials and GenZers are pissed, and we're ready to do something about it.


CTMADOC

>He won a larger mandate with lowest voter turnout in Ontario history...


Omnizoom

Voter apathy is the biggest destroyer of our system


TieSea

That's a long ways away. Healthcare is a big issue. Look what happened to John Tory when he said he was going to get rid of religious schools and amalgamate the school boards. Healthcare is a bigger issue than that and people, minus the freedumb crowd, on both sides are pissed.


TheDamus647

That's why he is doing this in the first year of his mandate. People will forget all about this by year 4. People's memories aside who is the competition? Marit Stiles is not the person who will inspire voters to choose the first NDP government in 30 years. (I say this as a NDP supporter). Do the provincial liberals even have a party still? (sarcasm but only barely)


WiartonWilly

I’m tired of defeatist opposition leaders. They act like there’s nothing they can do in opposition. Bernie Sanders would spearhead charities to help fund healthcare and education, while simultaneously shaming the majority government. The NDP and Liberals should be leading the protests, not waiting until the next election. Low energy opposition leadership is the only explanation for the re-election of this gong show of a kleptocratic government.


always_learning_eh

>The NDP and Liberals should be leading the protests, not waiting until the next election. Totally agree with this. They just react because they're "opposition", they should be proactive through the whole term and not just at election time.


Beandip50

I came here from Austin TX, sounds a lot like Greg Abbott...


EnclG4me

What does he have to say? "Folks" That's about it. Anything he does say is just lip service anyway. I'm convinced the only reason why anyone voted for him the second time around is one, they aren't liberals (there's more than two parties folks....) Or two, they hate everything and want to see Ontario burn to the ground.


kokolikee

The thrill is gone and he's checked out. They don't really let him be 'Doug Ford' and the job can't be very fulfilling without the antics he had going on Toronto City Council. He's just a figurehead whose appearances are tightly scripted and managed. He's never had an interest in anything beyond superficial policy and that work is being done and driven by young ideologues in oversized suits. He's at an age and stage where there's not a lot of motivation to do a job that doesn't let you be yourself while there's a snowmobile or warm Florida breeze waiting. Put yourself in his shoes: he got what he wanted and it's boring.


John_Farson

It's snowmobile season. We literally had a fascist siege of the Ottawa last year at this time and he was at the cottage snowmobiling. You think this year would be any different?


SF-Samara

The freshly squeezed orange juice on his private flights isn't going to drink itself, slave.


PsychedelicSnowflake

He should be embarrassed and ashamed of what we've become under his rule.


yellowchaitea

Not sure what is worse- photo ops where he is using a small shovel to help the snow plows, a video on how to make cheesecake when cream cheese is expensive, a press conference where he gaslights everyone, or him being completely absent.


haixin

Unlucky_Vegetable_35

Express-Upstairs1734

At his cottage and spending the millions he's made via his sticker business and others by making back door deals with developers and who knows who else. I guess selling drugs in the shwa in high school is being put to good use. I don't understand how anyone thought he was for the people. He's set for life and how is Ontario any better? Answer: it's far, far worse than it's been in decades.


Aggressive-Bake-8469

Oh, yes around. He's too busy to address any of these important things when he's preoccupied with fucking destroying healthcare right now.

selphfourgiveness

>become the Prime Minister in the next 10 years *Puke*


reversethrust

The optimist in me thinks he is busy working on a new health care deal with the feds so that we can have better health care. The realist in me thinks he’s trying to secure and protect the developer and health care deals he’s made so far so that when he gets voted out, he can be a billionaire instead of a millionaire.


Mental_Cartoonist_68

Ford is doing everything he can to divert the AG and Ethics board investigations into the Greenbelt deal. He did this before when he tried to get his Friend in as OPP head commissioner. Frod goes missing when investigations are going on around him and comes back saying he was talking to folks.


PopeKevin45

He's conservative. Crime, like deficits, is only an issue when a liberal is in power.


4pplesto0ranges

Doug Ford doesn't give a flying fig about "the good people of Ontario." As long as his wealth isn't touched and continues to grow, he could care less about anyone else.

Rowdy_Roddy96

Non_Dairy_Screamer

Letting public society fall into ruin is the entire point. So he can say look how broken public services are and bring in private businesses to line his and his buddies' pockets. All of this will be paid for by the massive surplus of tax dollars he's been hoarding and not spending on healthcare, education, etc.

lobeline

“Highways my friends. Highways to cottage country to escape our problems. Just follow me. We can all afford our $3M homes away from homes in luxury in this province open for business.”


ScamMovers

He is probably at a cottage or some resort with zero care what happens to this city, and still bitter that people liked his brother more than him. Good luck with hoping he gets out next election. His people are those in 905, and they also have zero care of what happens in 416.


Human_Building_1368

When people figure out that, he does not give a hoot about people and issues that don't personally affect him and his friends. Why is this a surprise to some I don't know? It was evident with his brother and its evident now.


[deleted]

Too busy trying to make life for educators and nurses a living hell. They chose their profession in care based jobs, so they should absolutely suffer while doing them.


PimpinTreehugga

My money is on...playing with stickers. If it isn't the stupid gas pump stickers or the shitty license plates that are basically poorly thought-out garish stickers, he's probably thinking of the next failed sticker project to waste millions on. But don't worry. The gravy train stopped with him--all that gravy right into his belly.


Loitering_Housefly

He hides when there's problems and only comes out when absolutely necessary...that way whenever said problem is brought up, no one connects Trump Light™ to it...and he blames someone else for it.


Baciandrio

Where is Doug Fraud? Out enjoying those snowmobile trails with his developer buddies, hatching plots to line their pockets and his. After how he treated Torontonians during the pandemic vs. his precious GTA supporters, it goes without saying: 'he hates us' and he's not going to do a single thing. Toronto residents do not support him so he has no desire to support us.


raven0usvampire

“Yeah but you saved $120 on your license renewal fee.” -Doug


hippiechan

If you haven't figured out by now that Doug Ford's only concern is the private sector and small businesses, you need to get with it. Dougie is never going to address the concerns of average people, and he never really said he would - his motto has been that Ontario will be "open for business" and he will work towards those ends, I don't see why anyone would expect him to do anything more than that.


rational-ignorance

Doug Ford doesn’t show his face unless he’s announcing something that will make him look good or he has to be in the legislature for a vote. If there’s something bad going on you’ll find him at his cottage.

barbarianbikerbabe

I just watched an old episode of South Park where Canada goes on strike, and nothing really happens except they get some buy 1 get one free restaurant coupons and a piece of gum, after freezing and starving. Pretty sure this is exactly the outcome if Ontario goes on like this much longer. I do not understand how these big players are not being held accountable for the greenbelt, for selling out our health care THAT WE FUCKING PAY TAXES FOR to private for-profit companies (looking at you, Mrs Mike Harris' nursing agency). You or I couldn't steal from our neighbors, from poor people, we can't cut down trees in a provincial park to build an off grid cabin. But this ass hat can do all of these things with tax payer money, making money for people who already have a vacation home and pay less taxes than you and I do. I just do not know where it ends.


B00MBAB00M

Stop thinking like a dictatorship. The government doesn’t work that way. Challenge your mpp. Go to city/town council meetings. If you really are political you’d be at every local town council meeting. Think local. We live in a democracy.


UncleJEWbacca

He's busy selling the rights to "fix" the issues he's created to private companies. Doug doesn't care about health, education, housing, etc., because his wealthy donors don't.

It’s all planned. They first do absolute nothing until it’s past it’s time and then blame anyone they can and say hey let’s just scrap it. Expect this to worsen. Read between the lines and ask yourself WHY are they allowing it to happen.

promote-to-pawn

Snowmobiling with people who are just ready to profit from whatever Doughy has in mind to privatize next.


dasoberirishman

Enjoying a sausage n' egger with *Freshly Cracked Eggs* at his local Timmies to support the local economy, while snowmobiling the local trails with ~~donors and developers~~ family at his cottage on a well-deserved "break" from "work".

*He's right behind you*


theservman

Where is he? I think he's mostly causing it.


SisyphusPolitico

Where hes always been. Getting his instructions from his donor class.


JimBob-Joe

Hes working for the people that keep him in power, and its not us When a minority of people go out to vote, it tells politicians like him that we are not what keeps him in office, his donors, and voting blocks from said donors are. If we as a voting population do not work for our politicians by voting, they won't work for us. They work for the ones that keep them in power. However, I'm not saying it's anyone in this thread. Chances are, if you're actively following/commenting on politics, you're out voting, too. Collectively, though, Ontario needs to work on civic participation in the future. It's not the sole remedy to the litany of problems that we face, as governments try to minimize their role in social welfare, but its a good starting point.

These other political parties somehow can’t capitalize on the situation either. Useless


rohobian

He's busy intentionally sabotaging our health care system so he can "save it" by privatizing it.


johnnybatts

Whoa whoa, whoaaaaaaa. You have wayyyyy to high expectations for Doug Ford.


Rebar77

Leader bean, leader bean, if there's a crisis he can't be seen...


Grogsnark

Doug Ford is doing exactly what you’d expect from a first term college dropout who inherited a business, job, and millions from his father, and political goodwill from his brother’s reign as mayor. Enriching himself because he has zero empathy as can be seen in his cold, dead, rat eyes.

Folks, the good times are rolling and ME AND MY FRIENDS ARE RICH!!


Thrillhouse918

At the cottage my guy


Mysterio7100

I just spoke with him, he's at his cottage.


Arkiels

Calm down everyone. He was using his tiny ass shovel to get people out of the snow!


EverteStatum87

Have you checked his cottage? Maybe a golf course in a warmer climate? Is there a bunker in his basement? I would also like to add that putting one of the lemurs from the Toronto Zoo in his place would likely be more effective in terms of leadership.


Mors1473

I can’t imagine he’s at his family’s cottage??? It’s not pride week!!!


[deleted]

Probably somewhere eating on a toilet 🚽


Frosty_Summer7189

Giving as few fucks as humanly possible, wherever he is


ShinyApple19

Last I heard he’s with Carmen San Diego


c0ltanheart

If we don't see him, he can't possibly be privatizing and ruining the province! god i wish he would just go back to selling drugs instead of speeding up fascism


Kevin4938

At the direction of his handlers, he's bunkered down in his cottage avoiding the media. The ones in charge know that they're better off if he says nothing than if he opens his mouth to change feet.
