Funny how the part he does know, is the part that pleases his handlers & developer criminals buddies. This needs to be stopped, he is going to pave the province for them and fill his pockets in the mean time. #DougFordIsCorrupt #StopHwy413 #onpoli

If the grocers make money from selling booze, they should consider recycling part of their operating expense. #FordFailed #onpoli

The grocery/corner stores are more than happy making money from selling booze. But to take care of recycling bottles at their expense? They are not happy. We had a good thing with Beer Store. Ford messed up by breaking the contract with them (which BTW, cost our tax money)! #FordFailed #onpoli

Disgusting as this attitude of the ford gov't is, it really doesn't matter. Metrolink will post a budget and/or timeline but they mean nothing. In past they have lied about the budget only so they can say the project came in under budget. They are a joke!

Ford's only goal with Hwy 413 is to appease rich mafia donors who've been acquiring and sitting on this land for decades waiting for a chump like Ford to do their bidding. Ontario deserves better. We need to preserve farmland and secure local food sources for the future.

People don't know how to interpret polls. Abacus (Colletto) can be tricky - the poll (online) is DECIDED voters only, so it excludes everyone else, the no's and undecided. The +/- 3% error of margin doesn't even apply. Go to his page and see the full results. Plus people are fooled by Cap'n Crunch.
