Who Votes For Doug Ford?

 


A culture that believes nuclear war might be justified in light of Russia's invasion of the Ukraine.  A culture that believes wearing a mask during a viral, airborne, respiratory pandemic is an intolerable assault on liberty.  (Mustn't forget the people who do wear a mask but leave their noses uncovered because they don't understand the concept of breathing.)  A culture that believes that the so-far toothless measures to deal with global heating are Stalinism but agrees wholeheartedly in the surveillance/torture state constructed in the Great Bullshit War on Terror.

A culture that forgets how Ford's first instinct upon hearing that Ontario seniors were dying in droves from COVID-19 because their for-profit long-term care home owners were pursuing profit over their goddamned responsibilities, and who (it was quickly revealed) had been leaving their clients to live in filth and squalor for years, ... Ford's first instinct was to protect these long-term care profiteers (including his filthy, murderous, super-corrupt predecessor Mike Harris) from legal liability.

A culture with a media system of scumbags and airheads that works night and day to make a scumbag shithead like Doug Ford seem like a regular guy.

Obviously our anti-democratic First Past the Post electoral system is working as our elites think it should.

Who indeed? Apparently all the workers of Ontario who the buffoons gang now represent. When is the next teachers collective agreement scheduled?

Teachers' strikes. Yes. They're coming.

A lot of thick, heavy stuff is coming down the pipe for the whole human race and Drug Fraud showed during this election that he is incapable of handling any of it here in Ontario.
