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.
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.
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 always been impressed with Mr. Jivani’s stance on politics. He speaks with genuine compassion unlike Doug Ford (aka Doogie Howser) as I refer to him. Since Justin Trudeau our federal and several provincial and municipal governments perform theatrics rather than govern properly it’s embarrassing. Pierre Poilievre has surrounded himself with people who are passionate about Canadians their freedom and security. This has been evident to me since the first day I watched Mr Poilievre in parliament with Harper. I thought he was one to watch as I could tell he was in it for the people much like Mr Jivani. Do not get discouraged by all the chaos and distractions of the woke left they are slowly losing we have to all stay focused march forward and laugh at the idiocy of Doug Ford and all of the clowns that surround him.
Well stated. Particularly in clearly pointing out the stark difference between the Trudeau/Carny/Ford Liberals and our only hope for "Canadian" leadership, Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives.
The Ontario conservatives should kick fatty out. That is, if they are really conservative. From what I've seen here and elsewhere, conservative voters are sick of him.
So Doug Ford uses theatrics for the media to pour a bottle of Crown Royal onto the grass, without any perspective on how it looks to anyone with a small amount of intelligence. Why did the bottling company leave Ontario and go to the states Doug? Answer me that! Ontario makes it very hard to run a successful business here. This bottling business had to close down and relocate to another country which is a huge operation! That’s how strong the incentive is to leave Ontario? A real conservative would look at the truth and work on solving the obvious problem. Dougie resorts to lame theatrics and NO plan to fix the exodus of businesses.
“Fat Justin” is nothing but a blowhard. He held that completely unnecessary provincial election before the federal campaign because he knew he’d be supporting Carney and trashing Poilievre, and he wanted to cement his position as Premier. That stunt with the Crown Royal was pure idiocy. He dumped out a product that was made entirely in Canada! Diageo was planning to open another bottling plant in Ontario; now those plans are on hold and will probably be scrapped. He basically told the world that Ontario is closed for business! Fat Justin should be putting his focus on making Ontario a better, less expensive, less bureaucratic place to attract investors and businesses. And, as we know all too well, he loves to bluster his “outrage”, but when it comes to doing something, he can’t be bothered. Fat Justin’s words are wind.
You have perfectly nailed the main reason for Ford calling that unnecessary election. It was actually twofold. The other reason being to take the heat off the Liberals at a time the country was screaming for a federal election due to the incessant, criminal scandals of Trudeau's Liberals.
Simple really, the Federal CPC needs to remove ford from their party roster...Ford is a traitor to the CPC and Ontario will continue to suffer as long as he is in power. The Ont. voters need to demand a vote of incompetence against Ford...nothing less should be accepted.
Hopefully the Conservatives can read the room this time and put an end to the antics of Dougie before it's too late. He's an embarrassment and the Liberals are loving it.
Doug Ford is a wind talker; his mouth is too big and his brain too small.
Ontario boasts about its accomplishments, but receives financial assistance from Alberta.
The way Doug Ford has expressed himself is so absurd, using big words, but despite his intimidating results, it has resulted in a lot of nothing.
He promoted Team Canada, but the tariffs between provinces remain in place, and nothing has changed.
Again, there is a lot of talk but no results.
That is the problem. In Ontario, they have microphones, and that is Doug's favoured place behind a microphone, just babbling and walking away. Instead of developing a 5-year plan for the Toronto area, it is all crisis management with emotionally inspired ideas lacking serious planning.
I would disregard Doug Ford as being conservative, but a man who talks every time to make himself look good, but has no principles and convictions to restore order and prosperity in Ontario's small but crime-ridden India.
I voted for Ford in the last provincial election only because he was the least of the worst. Doug has betrayed all conservatives/Conservatives in Ontario. His admiration for Marx Von Carney is a demonstration of his out of touchedness with Conservative Ontarians.
I'd take Jivani's conservatism over Ford's any day of the week.
Totally agreed...
Two small corrections if you would allow me.
1. It's Doug Fraud
2. Whatever Fraud is he IS NOT a Conservative

He certainly is back stabbing the conservatives at both levels. It appears that he suck holes to the fed lieberals for the free give aways.
yes agreed

Mp Jivani is spot on...
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.

Doug Ford is not a Conservative , he has proven that time and time again.

I agree with Jivani.
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.

Just like Rustads cons in BC they've been infiltrated by the woke mob.

Is he the best of the worst? He hasn't changed anything the former libs installed. Been status quo since the mcsquinty/ wynne days.
