Doug Ford's Doings


"My friends!" Doug Ford likes to say ... "Help is on the way!" Now, just like the ignoramuses in the USA who were ignorant of Donald Trump's serial acts of con-artistry; ignorant of his hypocrisy, entitlement, etc., etc., ... who voted for him because said he'd bring their jobs back; there are ignoramuses in Ontario who looked at the disgusting neo-liberalism and corruption of the Ontario Liberals and thought they'd replace them with the "straight-talking" Doug Ford. Ford, after all, was "for the people." He was for "the little guy." (Just like their favourite newspaper The Toronto Sun is for the "little guy." So long as he conforms to the dominant white culture and knows his place and only complains about liberals and socialists.)

So, how's that working out? Disastrous obviously.

Doug Ford canceled the scheduled minimum wage increase to $15 an hour. Leaving it at the $14 per hour that Kathleen Wynne had raised it to. Given that more people are working at or near the minimum wage than ever before, this is a wholesale attack on the well-being of the "little guys and gals" that Ford is constantly bellowing about. The whole policy is premised on discredited right-wing bullshit theories and because Ford, as an employer, is very much the enemy of the "little guy" class that he pretends to represent.

In burst of petulance, Ford reduced the size of Toronto City Council by one-half, DURING AN ELECTION. This is because Ford is dimly aware that he's a stupid fuck-face and Toronto City Council was one of the first and only places where people were not cowed by him and they informed him of his ignorance and stupidity on a daily basis. And, let me tell you something my friends, that hurt. Hurt bad. Ford was even prepared to utilize the "notwithstanding clause" of the Constitution to get his way.

Doug Ford cut funding for autistic children. Then, when there were howls of outrage, he came up with some stupid, brain-dead formula of yearly allowances for families, based on the idea that all autistic kids are the same and that there should be an income cut-off line.

Doug Ford is cutting the education budget, reducing the number of teachers employed, increasing class sizes, and imposing online classes. The whole thing has been a disastrous, needless cluster-fuck. Doug Ford did not campaign on cutting the education system. Doug Ford is a lying, stinking, criminal piece of human garbage. Predictably, he responded to a massive protest against his cuts as being organized and led by "union bosses and thugs." (That's called "projection." After all, Doug Ford has been found to have ordered all his MPPs to stand up and applaud him like trained seals and he ejects from the caucus anyone who refuses to debase themselves on his behalf.)


Doug Ford cut funding for women's shelters. Because, you know, there's a lot of waste and inefficiencies there and ... for gawd's sake, I can't stand it.

While Ford has been cutting public services and demanding restraint from everyone else, he put an inordinate amount of time trying to get family friend, Ron Taverner, to be the head of the OPP. Taverner might have been among those cops who informed Rob Ford (and Doug) about the Toronto Police Service's surveillance of Rob as that nitwit was staggering around town and smoking crack with gangsters. Ford changed the job requirements for the OPP Chief so that Taverner could apply, fired the cop who called him on it and then sharted himself.

Doug Ford never imagines that he has to set a good example for anyone. While he's been slashing services he asked the OPP to build him a van for his personal use and put it on their own budget. "Pimp my ride."

And, of course, being a stupid, super-corrupt, callous, ignorant, barf-ugly, yellow-haired, bloated freak, Doug Ford has decided to privatize the health care system entirely. He's invented a super-committee that can make decisions without questions or even oversight to do this.

This leaves out a lot of Doug Ford's other super-stupidity. But my typing fingers are getting tired.


Remember, this scum-bag campaigned on a nothing platform. He said that services wouldn't be cut. Jobs wouldn't be lost. But he's taken a meat cleaver and a bone saw to so much. And, personally, I'm sick of it. I'm sick of ignorant, racist, know-nothings voting for human garbage like this. And, given the fact that "conservative" voters and the "conservative" media have no problem defecating on the principles of representative democracy, and given the fact that their ignorance, stupidity and hypocrisy negatively impact my life, I have no problem with anyone, anywhere, going absolutely ape-shit to stop this bloated, ugly goon and his entire swarm of sycophants and shit-heads.

We don't need to wait four years to take a baseball bat to the skull of Doug Ford's government.
