Alexander Brown and Project Ontario co-founder Matt Spoke break down Doug Ford’s latest gaffes and why Liberal and Liberal-lite governance continues to fail Ontario.
Canada.. Being (sadly) a fundamentally socialist country has allowed any semblance of actual Conservatism to go the way of the Dodo.
That is if it ever existed in the first place.
Perhaps the closest one can get these days is Smith in Alberta and Moe in Saskatchewan.
In Ontario their Premier is a complete fraud and a lot of other words many of which many of us are now using for him with great regularity as they totally apply.
Having said that and across the country there is a very obvious clue in many cases.
The word "Conservative" is preceded by the word "Progressive"...
BIG CLUE THERE and while there are various degrees most who lead a party whose name begins with that word are, at best, and perhaps, that non-existent species previously known as a "Classic Liberal".
As I said.. Even then not sure for if Doug Fraud is any example he is a full fledged Liberal in most (perhaps not all but most) respects.
I agree, but one mistake you made was: a traditional liberal, I believe is what most Canadians are or were, but today the liberals are actually illiberal and this my friend is where Canadians have failed themselves because they have allowed themselves to be brainwashed and indoctrinated...We have politicians like Ford, Eby, Carney etc, because of illiberal voters, just like the comment from "Lwhite" in this thread, blaming the boomers, he is a completely brainwashed! And it is people like this that do not have the fortitude to help Canada, we are here because of finger pointers and dumb voters!
Was a "Classic Liberal"... As you stated.. "Traditional Liberal" if you wish.
I was always Conservative by nature unlike the rest of my family but back then we could talk, disagree, agree from time to time and move on without any animosity or other BS.
I am of that "Baby Boomer" group and I do acknowledge that there are a few of us who were not fooled, conned or whatever you wish to call it but sadly way, way, way too few.
Most of my "Boomer" generation have been fooled, conned or for whatever reason convinced the current abominations who call themselves the Federal Liberals, led these days by a total fraud will save them, their savings and Canada.
And so that biggest "Proud European" fraud and his fraud of a party has indeed committed the biggest fraud upon Canada.
It's likely demise.
Carney however does not care.
When he is done, however that ends, he will retreat to his buddies in the EU or some Island somewhere with his three passports and more hidden money than most could ever possibly dream of.
I agree, except your blaming and your name calling of the boomers, I believe you yourself are brainwashed too! Canada is here because of dumb voters and if you truly believe there is enough boomers in Canada to change the vote, then who is the idiot? Remember, the only media in Canada blaming boomers is the CBC, so now we know what news you watch. I am gen X and I have never blamed the boomers in fact, I have never blamed another generation, but I do blame dumb Canadians for the illiberal beliefs, beliefs which have been indoctrinated and brainwashed into their simple minds.
Well, really, I feel the 30 somethings are the real idiots. They are indeed buried in FB likes and fake personas. The last thing on their minds is the govt. And I agree, mainly women. BUT in the UK same "boomers" are oblivious, believe all the Trump bad man but its those that are comfortable with good pensions, everything paid for, comfy house. The poor seniors or Boomers, are the ones that not listening to CBC or BBC for their news. I imagine its the same in Canada. So while you figure your females in the family have TDS, maybe they are comfortably off, know when their next dollar comes from, warm house, good pension. And I feel the 30's are not doing right by their kids and thats the next generation to be the next worker ants. Its all they will know. But sympathies for you for your family.
Bernier has always had a firm grip on the issues that plague Canadians...too much overseas spending, too many immigrants, too much control over speech, and he did get arrested during c*vid for his stand on freedom to choose...etc etc. I do applaud him for his stand, however once in 'power' who knows what will happen? Carnage gave us phrases such as....'we are going to....we will have.....and on and on. Nothing has actually been DONE, except his commitment to foreign investments that make him richer....
Thank you for clarifying 'FAT TRUDY' and happy to read it wasn't a reference to Mr. Trump who would IMO and many Canadians respect and Canada would be so much better off under the 51st STATE with the freedom we crave and will never get under this 'WESTMINSTER and WEF. REGIME' ,, HOME OF THE BRAVE AND LAND OF THE FREE,, What beautiful words as we have ''HOME OF THE SLAVES AND WILL NEVER BE FREE.'' TAX TAX TAX is our way of life in Canada, FREE SPEECH ? FORGET THAT !!
I would say he bellowed too loud with his antics about MR TRUMP with his phony Reagan Speech that he had DOCTORED to suit his lying agenda, also TOTALLY ruined our 51st STATE POSSIBILITY that would have been the FREEDOM WE CRAVE.
All cowboy, no hat. The guy is an embarrassment, if the opposition weren't in such disarray he wouldn't survive another election. The party is splitting thanks to his buffoonery and it will be much like the party was years ago, with a reform style party and hangers on from the p.c. party. All because of this asshole, too bad he never learned anything from his brother Rob. I can see the True Blue party taking away some of his more solid rural ridings next time around. I think he's lost the support of a lot within his base and all the damage he continues to cause to our economy will only get worse. He's as bad as the Liberal's, if not worse.
"Dodgy Diploma Mills"? The entirety of the Ford-Carney franchise is a dodge run out of a Muskoka "cottage" and a crappy Palace in the City of London where Ghislaine Maxwell had a permanent apartment - all the better to provide victims for Prince Andrew and other 'royalty'.
Wake up Canadians, to who rules you, lest you die in your sleep.
The hits to Dung Ford's looney policies just keep coming. Ford US just took a $19.5 billion dollar write down on their EV production getting rid of the goofy Ford Lightning PU. A matter of days until one more welfare automotive company departs with billions of tax payer $$$$$ in their pockets thanks to Ford & the green grifter Liberals.
Ford may be the King of Stunts but he is also the King of ending wait times on referral for medical treatment. A study by the Fraser Institute this month showed that Ontario had the lowest medical wait times for referral for assessment and treatment of 19.2 weeks compared to BC at 32.2 weeks and Quebec at 32.5 weeks with all the other provinces even higher and some very much higher.
As an 80 year old in good health I find that very attractive as bad luck must be just around the corner.
Wait times have been cut in part by privatising operations on eyes and hips and knees.
Ford is real stupid he actual believes he's doing right. Not like Carney, Trump etc.,they know they are selfish, arrogant, manipulative, ready to take at anyones expense. We need neither kind of leaders. Time for reality for everyone.
Doug's confrontational attitude towards USA is a huge mistake. His decision to remove US wine and liquor from the LCBO is childish and a great argument for privatization. Naive boomers probably go along with this nonsense but we will lose.
I like many voters loved his Brother ROB and thought like myself in my youth believed PIERRE ELLIOT TRUDEAU was for the people and we were all duped with that hope and both turned out to be very very sour, LIBERALS ,,,,,
I disagree, he is the type of negotiator we need to deal with down south. Furthermore, he is what this province needs to get ahead, if being nice to Carney does the trick for Ontarians he is going to do it and if breaking a "few eggs" and upsetting. some oversized egos, so be it. Look back a few years under the liberals, enough said.
Well we are all entitled to our opinions. I have lived though pretty socks and his daddy and on that we are in 100 agreement what they did to this country collectively is almost criminal
Ford and Carney are like the ostriches having their heads deeply buried in the sand. The best thing that could happen to these two birds is that they fly south as fast as their wings can take them. Canadians deserve much better than what these two birds have to offer. They would make a great comedy team like Laurel and Hardy, fatty and skinny, what a beautiful thought to be entertained by these two clowns. The skit could be called "We fooled them partner, we sure did." When they finish their skit, we will outfit them with a neck yoke and put them to work. I can't think of a better way to end their careers. So long, it was good to know you.
While I do not believe it is possible with this overly large buffoon.
Somebody...
ANYBODY...
Has to get the jerk to STFU.
He is almost single handedly destroying any chance Canada has of negotiating ANYTHING with the Americans going forward.
As bugs might say...
WHAT A MOROOOOONNNN!!!!
And he calls himself a conservative. I think Ontario has been lied to big time.
YEP...
Even bigger than Doug Fraud himself and that's very, very large.
Yes...
A totally true observation.
Canada.. Being (sadly) a fundamentally socialist country has allowed any semblance of actual Conservatism to go the way of the Dodo.
That is if it ever existed in the first place.
Perhaps the closest one can get these days is Smith in Alberta and Moe in Saskatchewan.

My father...
Long departed now..
Was a "Classic Liberal"... As you stated.. "Traditional Liberal" if you wish.

As was stated a long time ago.
NOT IN IT FOR YOU.
I agree, except your blaming and your name calling of the boomers, I believe you yourself are brainwashed too! Canada is here because of dumb voters and if you truly believe there is enough boomers in Canada to change the vote, then who is the idiot?

Remember the line from the movie.
YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID.
... And ... Just remembered..
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.
Canada has (sadly) a lot of that one in so many areas these days.
Well, really, I feel the 30 somethings are the real idiots. They are indeed buried in FB likes and fake personas. The last thing on their minds is the govt. And I agree, mainly women.

FORGET THAT !!
I agree. Every other country in the world is envious of our location, and up to the last decade , relationship , with the USA.
Freeland’s sickening rhetoric started it . They hate the witch.
America is shaking its head at Canada wondering “ how stupid can you behave”?
Who better to share a border with? China, Russia, North Korea? Tell me!
Our location is the envy of the world!
Canada is behaving like a spoiled teenager!
Sickening!
I hope Trump slaps Canada in the face. I mean really slaps Canada in the face.
That’s what is needed!
I'm confused as to who is ''FAT TRUDY '' Please
100%, we have no Consevatives in this country...!!!!
I would say he bellowed too loud with his antics about MR TRUMP with his phony Reagan Speech that he had DOCTORED to suit his lying agenda, also TOTALLY ruined our 51st STATE POSSIBILITY that would have been the FREEDOM WE CRAVE.
This all you get from an moron like fatty. About the same results from a chattering squirrel.
All cowboy, no hat. The guy is an embarrassment, if the opposition weren't in such disarray he wouldn't survive another election.

The people of Ontario are done with Doougie Fraud

Ford and Carney are the biggest frauds that Canada has ever experienced.
MY TAKE, RIGGED ELECTIONS, PERIOD!
I disagree, he is the type of negotiator we need to deal with down south. Furthermore, he is what this province needs to get ahead, if being nice to Carney does the trick for Ontarians he is going to do it and if breaking a "few eggs" and upsetting. some oversized egos, so be it. Look back a few years under the liberals, enough said.
he called an election because he was scared....he poured out Crown Royal because he is a clown.....he made those ads because he is an idiot
Well we are all entitled to our opinions. I have lived though pretty socks and his daddy and on that we are in 100 agreement what they did to this country collectively is almost criminal
what do you mean...almost????
Ford is not a Conservative he is Liberal sheep in clothing.
Ford and Carney are like the ostriches having their heads deeply buried in the sand. The best thing that could happen to these two birds is that they fly south as fast as their wings can take them. Canadians deserve much better than what these two birds have to offer.

Dick Fraud is a retarded freak of a criminal...!!! Conservatives are Liberals & Liberals are retards...!!!
Ford should be focusing on what he is good at ... selling cocaine
