Ontario (Government under Doug Ford) hates the homeless and addicts, yet spends millions to make it easier to fall into addiction, harder to get sober, and fuck your housing! 🤔

I still refuse to spend a dime at cornerstones or gas stations on booze...it's more expensive for nothing. Also they screwed around with the pricing at LCBO and beer store by removing the previously included tax to make you think it's cheaper...tax should have been bundled into the cost at corner stores so you know how damn expensive it is..
If anything, Im drinking less now because ford keeps pushing poison upon citizens instead of healthcare.
I refuse to help doug funnel more money to his friends and I hope this all fails
Your tax dollars are subsidizing them, if you don’t shop there it’s just wasted money
But this is about the producers
Then it's wasted money, like many other stupid things that doug has implemented
I was making a joke to highlight how bad his policies are
I think it’s safe to say he’s taken worst Premier of Ontario crown from Mike Harris but we just elected him again so he’s going to cement his legacy
I would have to stew on that on for a while. Harris attacked the disabled and we are are still dying as a consequence. Walkerton's just a drop in the bucket for Harris.
Ford has been too, ndp and green tried to make it an election issue but no one cared
Ford has been the best Premier on the ODSP file since Harris. And that's a fucking tragedy. But it has to be recognized. He's taken baby steps forward. Harris took broad leaps backward. There is no comparison.
He has also, unfortunately, set a new normal which while still fathoms beneath the surface, is now more rigorously entrenched.
ODSP actually WAS a minor election issue in the previous cycle, and now we will get nothing for another 20 years. Ontario voters are detestable.
He’s made my hospital and prescriptions much more expensive between privatization and no longer covering
It's really a comment on how little "the best Premier" has to do to maintain that title. Sorry about your situation. If you haven't yet, check out Trillium drug coverage for some possible relief.
3 straight majority governments.
Toronto loves anyone with the last name Ford
Also with first name Ford, e.g. Ford F-150.
Naturally, because it's far more important than things like, healthcare, or housing, or education, or.... etc
While TDSB is considering ending high school music to meet the ministry’s insane austerity targets.
Fistfights now cost $120!
Given the state of the billions we threw at EV batteries at least this might achieve a yield at some point.
I’ll drink to that 🍻
