Ontarians will pay dearly for Doug Ford's platform

Doug Ford offers slogans, but no plan for Ontario

Moderate conservatives, including the so-called Red Tories who have traditionally been a major part of the Ontario PC coalition, now have a big choice to make.

They will soon have to decide whether their distaste for Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals is so great that they’re willing to hand a blank cheque to a man whose main calling card is a simplistic rage against the out-of-touch “elites” he blames for every problem.

Because the fact is we know very little about what Doug Ford would actually do as premier if the PCs manage to win the provincial election set for June 7.

Beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess. He’s never bothered to spell out his position in any detail on the big issues facing Ontario, and his party has trashed the relatively centrist platform put together only four months ago under the gone (but not quite forgotten) Patrick Brown. Like Donald Trump, he makes a virtue out of ignorance about policy.

So all we have to go on is sloganeering and attitude. Some empty bromides about rooting out unidentified “waste” at Queen’s Park and “bringing prosperity back” to the province.

You say Doug Ford offers no plans for Ontario.

Actually he does.

You say Doug Ford offers no plans for Ontario.

Actually he does.

What Flossy means by 'a plan' relates more to a scheme to bilk the taxpayers of all their cash, raise taxes and hydro rates (among many others I'm sure) and set up a program of graft.

That's what Flossy means by 'a plan'

 

[Hoid]

Ford has never been long on details.

 

[captain morgan]

He doesn't have to be at this point.


... Just sit back, don't screw up and let Wynne self destruct

 

[Jinentonix]

Ford has never been long on details.

Really. So you know Doug Ford or something? Or is that simply your personal opinion based entirely on your political stance?

 

[mentalfloss]

Ford has never been long on details.

He doesn't have to be at this point.

Ah, good old fashioned ignorance.

The hallmark of the Trumptard.

 

[Hoid]

I have to admit I don't know much about him but I know his subway plan is hilarious.

I hope he talks about it during the campaign.

Oh, and his brother was a crack head.

Everybody knows that.

 

[mentalfloss]

He also sold dope.

Dope Ford.

 

[Hoid]

Probably a result of his addiction.

You've hitched your wagon to the wrong horse Flossy.

... And I do mean, horsed

 

[mentalfloss]

Oh, I'm quite fine with watching this train wreck go through.

If Trump is anything to go by, it will be a fun ride.

 

[Murphy]

I know it hurts. Is Waldo your cousin? What part of the GTA does he call home? :lol:

 

[Hoid]

Anything other than a Doug Ford government would be a disappointment.

It will be hilarious.

 

[Murphy]

Flossy, when you see Waldo tomorrow, make sure he's still wearing his hockey helmet!

He won't make much of a drywaller with his balance problems. :lol:

Those guys have to walk on stilts.

 

[mentalfloss]

Can we get Eaglesmack back?

We need better trolling.

 

[Murphy]

He doesn't have one. You have to give him the helmet. He's telling lies constantly.

You should remind him of his lie in the Maryland shooter thread. You are supposed to be his friend. Tell him not to lie. That is why I always suggest citing what you've read to support your posts. He just makes it up like you.

[Danbones]

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of weed...ooops, I mean cure.

 

[mentalfloss]

Lay off the dope.
