Conservative MP Jamil Jivani slammed Ontario Premier Doug Ford, accusing the “Progressive Conservative” premier of lacking principles and creating cynicism among conservative Ontarians.
Jivani is only pointing out what has been obvious for 3 or 4 years: Doug Ford has crossed the metaphorical floor, and turned firmly Liberal. Without, I might add, the courage to make it official.
Early in Ford's public career, I entertained a slight admiration for him, buying into the schlumpy, boozy good old boy act.
That didn't last long. He turned out to be just another multi-faced politician, bending whichever way the wind blows. In other words, no morals, no principles, no scruples, no valuable ideas - nothing but bluster, grandstanding buffoonery, and virtue signalling.
I'll say this one more time, it bears repeating: Ontario elected a Conservative premier, what they got instead was a Liberal, Doug Ford.
Well said. At least he could do the right thing and take on Bonnie Crombie for the leadership of the Liberal party of Ontario and let a true conservative take over the PC party. Otherwise it's just another 'P' party without the 'C'.
Used to have some respect for Doug Ford, now, none. As another has said Doug Ford is now a Liberal. It boggles the mind the ridiculous actions done recently (Crown Royal). He is only on the gravy train for himself, not the Ontarians he is supposed to represent. And TDS is prevalent in all of his actions (Trump Derangement Syndrome). The damage he has done recently will not soon be erased. God help Ontario, for it is as bad as Canada under Mark Carney.
And the real sad part is he knows this and is milking it for all he can because he knows the opposition in Ontario is in disarray. It may be a wasted vote when I voted New Blue last election but I can't in good conscience vote for a fake conservative in Ford. Might be high time for the New Blue party to really put their teeth and finances into trying to become a true alternative to the fake conservative party of Ontario.
After the death of the matriarch Mrs Ford, Dougie boy went the way of the Liebreals….Mrs Ford kept Dougie boy in check on what it meant to be a conservative……he is now a spoiled little boy getting back at her.
Someone should check to see if he is funding the CBC and Main Street media, they seem to give him a lot of air time??
I've said it for a while now, Rob Ford would not be proud of what his brother has become. Last election, I voted New Blue and have now convinced my family to do the same, a true conservative party. It's a shame that Ford is allowed to run under the conservative party banner because a conservative he is not. Just another Liberal 'me before we' type.
I'd take Jivani's conservatism over Ford's any day of the week.

Mp Jivani is spot on...

Doug "Fold" is a wet piece of paper.
This is why I have voted "new blue" in the first election and independent in the last election.
"New blue" is a true conservative party.
Thankfully in Norfolk we have Bobbi-Ann Brady and she's a rockstar at taking the liberal Conservatives to task.
